9 months post op. Boobs lack symmetry :-/

Hello, So I haven't posted much here for a while. I decided to let my breast be and wait for them to fully heal before I draw any conclusions about the results. I was one of those who had an amazing recovery. I was pain free and back to work within 2 weeks post op. I massaged my breasts as instructed and everything seemed to go well for a while. My left breast was the trouble boob though as it stayed high from the beginning. I massaged the hell out of it but it didn't drop much. Now 9 months post op it's still up there. The right boob had dropped and softened up and feels near natural almost like there's no implant there. The left boob is still had and not squishy at all. I look like I had two different size implants inserted. I've contacted Dr. Hochstein's office and I'm hoping this is something that can be fixed easily. My boyfriend says my boobs are perfect but I can see and feel the difference more clearly as the days go by. There is a definite asymmetry. My pre-op boobs were perfectly symmetrical, even Dr. H said that to me. I had a pretty straightforward surgery. I really hope this can be fixed easily :-(. Here are the pictures:

It looks like CC. I had it in the right and it looks exactly the same. Mine has softened up almost completely. I was put on accolate by my doctor, while taking that I also took lots of vitamin E,like 1000 IU everyday. I also started taking something called wobenzym(bought it on amazon.) last, I literally abused my breast. I rolled around on the ground with all my pressure on it. I would sandwich and squeeze it as hard as I could. Try to move it as far as possible in each direction in the pocket. But talk to your doctor,it can be fixed. Don't worry!

Oh wow.. Thought I might need a second surgery. Glad to hear it can be sorted without surgery. Thank you for giving me hope. Sorry you had to go through all that. How long did it take to drop after you started the process?

I've emailed my doctor, just waiting for their response.

I have the same problem with my left side. Was put on singular and am taking vitamin e. I've also been rolling around on it. Still not symmetrical but so so much better. Dropping more and feeling softer

Well Dr. H says it's capsular contracture, plus I posted a question on the forum and got 6 doctor responses also confirm in the same :-(. The only solution is surgery it seems and I've been slapped with a $4,000 quotation for surgery alone. I'm an out of town patient so this is going to cost me so much more to travel 14hr flights again, hotels etc.. I feel so terrible about this. Wasn't expecting to be facing a 2nd surgery so soon :-( :-( :-(.

Hello Everyone..!
It's been 10days since my last post. Time flies..! I decided I had a life before my boob job so I quit obsessing over them and went back to the living lol. I'm doing very well, not in any pain or much discomfort. Sometimes I can't believe I'm just a month in. I was so happy to get those darn steri-strips off and see what was going on beneath them. I took them out and treated myself to a much needed full body exfoliation with sea mineral salts and algae wrap...best hammam bath ever! New, smooth skin all over lol.

So far I've only got one bra at VS.. I've been sized as a 34D there. My first paddless bra...so exciting!!! Fits so beautifully (pictures included). Later I'll find more bras as I still need to wear my surgical one for 2 more weeks.
My work blouses fit so well too, I love how I now have a more womanly shape. Got lots of compliments from my colleagues. Not wearing anything revealing as yet but I wore this plunging neckline dress to a date last weekend with this guy who knew me before I did my breasts and he literally swooned & couldn't take his eyes off me the whole time lol. That was very gratifying haha.
So overall I'm just really in love with my new look and patiently waiting for them to soften up even more. :)

Awesome results! Your scars are perfect! I'm still working with mine...

Yes...they're actually hardly visible. It's because I took them in very bright light but I'm simply amazed at how well they have healed. Dr. H is a genius I swear!
Mine were covered the whole time so I couldn't see the changes like yours. Though due to our dark-skinned areolas, my doctor said when they heal it hides the scars extremely well. So eventually yours will darken.
Your boobs are sooooo beautiful on the other hand, they look so soft and real. I still love them!

Was just trying things out in the room and omg I looked so good I was so shy to go out...wondering whether I can handle the attention lol.
Meanwhile not sure it's the boobs or perhaps I'm a lot more self confident but ahem...guys! Please form an orderly queue (if you know what I mean lol)...and that's just in ordinary clothing with no plunging necklines etc

I know what you mean sometimes I find my self being a little more conservative with these boobs. The other night I was going to wear a dress for date night and my BF was like oh no too much side boob lol I'm like your right . So I put on a jacket lol I wasn't going to let him win that one

Lol.. I'm sure though he's so proud you're his..walking taller too :). It's a great feeling though..just knowing that you can totally turn any outfit into hot & sexy without even trying. I'm loving it! Why did I wait so long??? Fear is not a good thing.
I'm single though at the moment, recently out of a long relationship..and every time I mention it the guys can't believe it...like for real??? Lol. I wear a ring to keep them off now haha

Awwww...you're so sweet. I actually like the fact that in ordinary clothes I still look the same. So they're not the first thing someone sees when we meet. They just feel solid to touch haha so I'm totally counting down to that anniversary..will be so awesome when they finally soften up. :)
