I got 350cc even though I asked for under 300cc. But the issue I am having is the left breast implant is lower than the rights and it really throws me way off to how I wanted to feel about them. I just want to get it fixed.

Yes I go in today at 1240 to face the surgeon for first time since surgery. I had 2 surgeries in one day last week because had a hematoma and got out to sleep 2 times. And he used the same botched scars from my previous implants in 2010 that I got taken out 4 months after they were put in... to only see that the reason one was lower than the other was because the inframmary incisions were 1 inch different. 1 lower 1 higher.

The left breast is lower because the incisions from my first surgery were never even and one was 1 inch lower than other. The previous surgery in 2010 I was 22 and freaked out because of the ugliness of the unevenness and the big size I had them taken out after 4 months with nothing. The new surgeon apparently did not listen to me after I told him not to use the same scars but he did and here we are again

My left is 1 inch lower than right. I just don't think when the right one settles that it will match the left. I just hope that I will like the result at the end of everything. Right now I don't. I need to keep writing until I hit 200 characters to post this.

No offense but the size difference is not going to correct itself. I'm sorry :-(

No offense taken!!! That is exactly what I am saying! Thank you. I just hope at my 1 month follow up they don't gaslight me into saying it's going to take 6 months or more to settle.

I’m dealing with a similar situation at almost 1 year post op, size difference between implants. Be prepared to be told “I don’t see it” and “they’re sisters not twins” etc etc. FINALLY after multiple appointments of talking about a revision my surgeon said we can swap one out or drop my left one since it sits way higher than my right. Stand your ground & don’t take no for an answer. Unfortunately though you’re def going to have to wait until AT LEAST 6 months, if not 10-12 they will say that they’ll still drop and fluff but girl you’ll see minimal change *rolls eyes* best of luck xoxo

Dang. Yeah sounds right. So did you have the revision surgery after how many months? Luckily this surgeons motto is "never settle" so I can say I am not settling with this.

I haven’t gotten the revision yet but I’m hoping to within the next few months. I’m also on mounjaro and am still losing weight so he wanted to wait until I got this last 15-20lbs off before surgery and I’m fine with that anyway bc it gives me more time to save $$ for surgery. Really hoping I’ll only be paying for anesthesia :-(

Yep, At the 2 min appointment when the surgeon saw me today he said everything looks good and ignored what I was showing him and he said they look like they are "evening out" and that I will have to wait 6 months but come back for appointment in 2 months.

Ugh! I knew it. Did he say they’re not twins they’re sisters? I’ve seen a lot of women say they get that response when raising size difference concerns. I don’t know what I’ll be paying yet I’ve asked for the price multiple times for revision just to have an idea and they haven’t given me one yet. I don’t know if they are just purposely putting me off and keep seeing me just to keep easing my mind but I’m stressed about it.

No, never heard the sisters thing... but he doesn't seem to know an answer to what went wrong only that my higher one had a hematoma and they had to go in for another surgery. It might be slowly coming down, I will wait and see.

But now that I'm really looking at my before picture with grid lines overlaying the picture, I have the line under the lower boob then when I follow the line over to the other one I see it is slightly higher! So now I think I am naturally slightly asymmetrical but never knew. So maybe there's nothing they can do, At least I feel better knowing it's just how my body is.
Thanks for uploading your review - but it's a shame to read the implant is bigger than you asked for. I hope your surgery is helping you with the next steps? Do keep the community updated anytime.
