Still asymmetry, but maybe slightly better?

Softening but far from soft, I have been feeling a lot of stress about nipples being too low since these textured implants aren't designed to drop. The swelling at top has gone done but the distance from nipple to fold has barely changed since my two week pictures. ????
My left (your right) doesn't look too bad, especially from front, but the right is too high and the nipple much too low and the incision is so close to the nipple there doesn't seem to be enough room for the implant to move down so nipple will become more centered.
The asymmetry drives me crazy because the incisions are so asymmetric I fear it will not correct itself even with time (surgeon stresses I need to be patient...and what else can I do now anyway?!).
I am stressing about a possible revision in my future (maybe in a year) or just having to live with low asymmetric nipples that look particularly odd from the side when I am bra-less.
At least in bra/clothes they look about right. That's the only time I feel happy about this, but for 7k I feel I ought to be happy naked, too!

It's interesting how the asymmetry of our breast folds are almost identical! I definitely have the same concerns that you have. Mine only just recently started taking on some changes. Did you exercise a lot prior to surgery? It could be that your muscles are just super tight and will take more time to stretch. I have never even step foot in a gym before and it's taken this long to see some change. Hang in there. My ps actually wants me to lay on my stomach and use my weight to push them down. You should check with your ps and see if that's ok for you to do.

Yes he did tell me to lay on my stomach so I just started to do that. How much do you do it? Have you noticed a difference?

I find it really awkward and the kids are constantly jumping on me. So i press up against the wall instead. My ps didnt say how often, i do it maybe for 5-10min at a time whenever i get a chance to lock myself in the bathroom. I just started doing this too for about a week. So far I haven't seen much change. If he has you doing that I don't see why he wouldn't have you wear the band too at least during the night.

I have to join the conversation because I feel like I'm in the same boat :)
Textured implants, nipple to low, no lower pole fullness, tight chest or muscle swell:)
No matter how much I read and others tell me not to worry I still feel mine will never drop and I hope I don't need a revision!!! Oh boy!!! So much trouble with those boobs:)

How far out are you? I do think things are changing for the better for me but soooo gradual...not sure I will ever get the symmetry I want. Maybe I am just getting used to them! It's nice to know I am not alone with this

I'm one month po
Definitely you're not alone :)
Every review I read with textured implants has the same complains so let's keep our fingers crossed :)
Are yours better after 2 months?

I think so. I am almost three months. Can't tell if they are better or just getting used to them. I will post another picture at three months and you can be the judge!

One months out. Worried about asymmetry and firmness. Nipples still too low. Small improvement?

I think they are a bit better then your last post. Have you talked to your surgeon since the last time?

They look like they've dropped a bit did your surgeon say they would drop more? My nipples are low too. When I stick my chest out, they look nice lol hope all is well
