Uneven breasts immediately following surgery

My surgeon placed on left side 285cc moderate plus profile silicone round implant and the right side 285cc moderate projection silicone round. Both of my breasts were fairly even prior but the left was a little more rotated. they are so uneven following surgery. The left is significantly larger. He said to wait but I can see a noticeable difference even when I wear large t shirts

Procedure: Breast Augmentation

I suggest that you ask your surgeon to reopen immediatey to take out the left side implant and replace a new and suitable implant to make them look similar!

It would be difficult to comment without seeing you in person, as there could be numerous reasons causing the asymmetry that you are describing. Revising breast augmentation can be tricky, so waiting some time can be helpful 1) time allows inflammation to settle and 2) time allows possible distortion to resolve on their own.

In my practice I perform over 200 Breast augmentations annually. Revisions are typically limited to repositioning, which is difficult, so I like to wait 6 months. In a few instances patients have been referred that require immediate revision, though.

Thank you for sharing your question. Unfortunately without photographs it is difficult to offer the best advice. Talk to your surgeon or seek a second opinion from another surgeon in your area.
