7 Weeks PO, the right breast has not dropped as much as the left, making it appear larger, My left nipple has not gotten complete sensativity back yet, while the right has...this makes the nipple appear larger than the right as well. I can't wait for the next 2 months to see my final outcome. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they even out and look round and the same size.

At 5 weeks post op, I feel the left breast is still noticably bigger than the right, as well as the nipple. They are getting a little softer and dropping a little bit. When I looked at the 5 week PO pics, I noticed the side profile pics look more round this week. I had a scab on my right breast fall off and under my nipple there is a really pink scar. I have started scar treatments, which should help within the next couple of weeks.
And you will notice in the sife profile of my left breast, the dimple from the stitch is gone :-)

Have you had a reduction and are now getting implants and a lift? It's rare to come by that, so I'd be interested to hear what you are looking to do. I am 7 weeks PO now and am happy that I had the surgery, but both of my breasts still have some dropping and evening out to do.

Well, you can see by the pics how I was pre-surgery. I needed a lift to remove some of the lose skin to make the implant tighter. My nipples needed to be rounded out also. My PS said that since I already had the scars there, he would do the scar revision. If you are in any case similar to me pre-op and are a 34 D, which is what I was pre-op, you should get a lift. If you don't, you will be huge, and they will be very mushy and not firm, due to too much extra tissue and not a large enough implant. I had 300cc's put in each breast, more tissue and skin removed from the left breast to even them out in size. I am not measuring a 34D-34DD in VS bras. I am very happy with my scar revision. It has only been 7 weeks but I have been treating them and they are noticably better!

At my October 11th apt, I spoke with my PS's nurse and expressed my concerns about my left breast being larger than the right, as well as the nipple. She said to think of them as two separate surgeries and give them time to heal and settle. The right breast is a tad firmer, but they are softening and looking very nice. She said I don't have any signs of capsular Contracture, which is a relief to hear...but she also said that it would be too early for something like that to happen. I expressed my concern about my left nipple being larger and she said that if it is still larger at the 5 month mark to come in and they can do a simple in office procedure to make an incision around the nipple and round it out and make it the same size as the right. They would numb it and stitch it up, would take 15 mins. I don't really want to have to do that, but I don't want one nipple larger than the other either. I also noticed that the dimple under my left breast disappeared the day before my checkup. The stitch must have dissolved that was causing the dimple. That's a relief, I was very worried it would heal with a dimple.
I am 5 weeks PO, yesterday. I will be taking pictures today and posting them. I feel like they have softened quite a bit. I have been massaging them, so I think that it helping, I also started my NewGel+ scar treatment 2 days ago. I use the silicone scar gel during the day and the silicone stripes at nighttime while I am sleeping,
Look out for 5 week post op pics. Let me know if u see any droppage happening...
