Would love some feedback- unhappy with my results.

LilWahine · 10-09-2009, 04:02 AM

I just had my redo 2 days ago- replaced saline unders (350cc filled to 390cc) with smaller silicone unders(350cc), along with some pocket revision to accommodate the new implants. My plastic surgeon put internal sutures on the bottoms and sides to lift them and push them closer together.

Well, I took a peek at them today and my left breast is so much larger than my right. And my areola aren't straight- they're both pointing to the sides and one is lower than the other. Also, there's some indentation on both sides which make them look distorted. All in all, I was horrified. I called the office and was able to get a hold of the patient care coordinator (who was there during my consultation so she knew exactly what I was going for), and she said not to worry, that they are going to look a bit distorted for a while until all the swelling goes down.

I know that there may be a little asymmetry at first, but the difference between each breast is very significant that I doubt any amount of healing might repair!!! I'm so scared they're going to turn out horrible! Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. In your experience, is it normal to have that much of a difference when doing implants along with pocket revisions, and that in time, they will form nicely and look the same?

At 2 days anything could be going on. You may very well end up with a perfect result. I would go in to see your surgeon this week and discuss your specific concerns. Good luck!
