Hello everyone! I need your help! I got my breasts done this past Monday, 325cc mentor smooth round mod plus on the right and 275cc on the left. My two goals were to go maybe full b or small c and to correct the asymmetry. I knew that they weren't going to come out looking like twins but at least they would even out in size a bit more. However since I woke up from the surgery I've notice that the left was still bigger. In fact it's more swollen painful and bigger than the right which I find strange because the left got a smaller implant and the right got a bigger implant. I'm really confused! I'm a lefty by the way. Is this normal? Did this happen to anyone else? I'm feeling really disappointed, even though its only PO day 3. Advice needed please!

Progress...
nehuntingtonAugust 10, 2013
Well its PO day 5 and I went to my PS for a follow up today. I asked him about the asymmetry and he said that the larger breast has more tissue so there will be more noticeable trauma/swelling. He also said something along the lines of "if I punched you in both eyes 10 times one eye might bruise and the other eye might not." Doctors... geez... no concept of social etiquette! I still don't really understand how my breasts came out SO asymmetrical but reading your comments has made me feel better!
I guess so far my journey has been interesting. I still don't know if this surgery was totally worth it but only time will tell.
The first few days were rough, not so much pain but a lot of tightness and pressure. I was prescribed lortabs, robaxin, and an antibiotic. I'm down to taking only my lortabs and robaxin before I got to sleep. I'm still taking naps in the middle of the day though.
OH and I totally hate wearing the surgical bra I feel so suffocated in it! Anyways, please tell me what you guys think of the progress so far!

I'm the same too! Unfortunately all we can do is be patient. Your boobs already look great, when they drop and settle I'm sure they are going to be awesome!! Keep up wearing your surgical bra, you've gotta remember our chests have just been through a lot of trauma so it's important to keep our boobs supported. Hang in the sweetie! xx

Congratulations! Yes, I can see a difference already and you're photos are only 6 days post op. It really can take up to 3 months to see your final results. In fact, I highly recommend waiting to buy your quality bras when you are 3 months post op and can get properly fitted for your bras. In the meantime, buy some less expensive bras as you'll continue to experience changes over time. Happy healing!

Looks like everyone has given you good advice! Give them time! You've already made good progress in just a few days! Safe travels to CA, btw. You'll be just fine & I'm glad my experience reassured you! :)

You will be fine! You will see a lot if changes the next couple of months. They will even out, soften, and look great just give it time! The same happened to me I freaked out BC I had 304 and 339cc and one breasts was bigger than the other for a while. And the scar was bigger where the smaller implant was placed! So don't worry its normal!

I think they look fine. I had my BA done a long time ago (2011) and, at first, I was freaking out. I had lots of asymmetry and swelling. They really will settle with time, you'll see. The only problem for me now is that I have visible rippling at the cleavage area. I will be needing replacement implants soon. The doctor I saw also placed them over the muscle; it was an ordeal. Needless to say, I will be using a different doctor next time and will be doing lots of research first. Bedside etiquette and trust are a must for me now. Good luck.

Itching?
nehuntingtonAugust 21, 2013
Hey everyone!
So it's been 2 weeks and a day and the boobs are getting softer with each passing day. My worry is that my incision site has been getting really itchy these past few days. I got dissolvable btw. There is a bit of pinkness but no discharge. No fever either. However, everyday this past week, at around 8pm like clockwork the itchiness becomes pretty unbearable to the point that when I go to scratch it just very lightly my get goosebumps!
Did anyone else have this problem/side effect?
