Eeep Right Breast Sitting Lower (is this normal for overs?)

[homergirls38018]

Hello - I am also in the same boat as you ladies. Some days I notice some days I do not. I have no freaking clue what is going on and it drives me crazy! One of mine sits lower and is bigger than the other - not by a full cup size or anything but it is definately bigger! I am going to be patient as my PS has aksed me to be and then examin options as time goes on. I hope we all stay in touch. I did post a question in the "ask a PS" forum to see if you can have lipo on a boob after BA - may be a stuid question but would begin solving one of my issues.

Me boobs are now sitting differently and nipples are at diff height.
The nipples dont bother me a great deal becuz they were not level to start with, but my breasts actually sit different.

Im stil 2 weeks off my next app with daniel. But very interested to see what he says about yours.

Thanks
Krissy.

Hey Krissy,

I will let you know in a few hours. My appt is today at 1pm. I am dressed and ready to go!
My right breast is still sitting lower. I was reading some other information about this and it seems to be a complication caused by BA. I will try and find it and copy and paste it in a few minutes before I go.

I found this useful and I highlighted the part that might be the reason for my right boob sitting lower.




The surgeon cannot predict the following:

Genetic characteristics of the patient’s tissue that allows excessive stretching even with well-considered size of implants and surgery options.

Rapid descent: Some patients’ tissue is unable to hold the implants in their position and the implants move down on the chest wall. The scar rides up on the breast which looks bottom heavy. This is regardless of wearing adequate support bras. Drooping of the nipple, areolar and breast tissue, even after a breast lift, will be accelerated in patients who have poor tissue.

Detectability: The implant edge may become palpable and obvious with crinkling, particularly with weight loss.

Stretch marks.1:500 cases. If you already have stretch marks on your body you are susceptible to this risk.

Nipples and Areolars: They may change in size, shape and colour after augmentation. Slight breast asymmetry in the nipple areola complex position is magnified with breast augmentation. Breast augmentation can distort the nipple areola complex and it can enlarge a lax area.

Asymmetry: Chest wall and breast asymmetry may not be obvious at the time of consultation but after augmentation, with equal size implants, asymmetry may become more obvious.

Capsular contracture: 2% chance in sub pectoral pocket and 4% in sub glandular pocket.

Scars: Thickening, hyperpigmentation, puckering and keloid formation occurs in a small percentage of patients. The scar location is at best a very good estimate. It is impossible to site this perfectly at the time of surgery.

Inflammatory and infective conditions: Very rare.

Sudden haemorrhage: early or late: 1% chance.

Seroma: fluid formation is a 2 % chance.

Implant rupture: Although silicone implant prothesis have improved tremendously with the advent of cohesive gel. Implants can still rupture and leak and silicone can migrate though breast tissue. This is however extremely rare, at about 1 :1000.

Nerve damage: permanent nipple numbness: 1:500. Some localised numbness and sharp pulling sensations are common. Each breast will feel different.

Privacy: The benefit of cosmetic surgery involves privacy. The objective is established in a private contract between the patient and the surgeon. Maintaining the privacy protects the anticipated outcome. The privacy contract
is broken when the patient enters into conversations with a third party, seeking comments and assurances. This will lead to disappointment and dissatisfaction.

Tightness: This will ease as the breast tissue envelope relaxes to accommodate the implants.

Swelling: Swelling is often uneven and may subside more quickly on one side. Most swelling will be resolved in 2 weeks.

Detectability, Wrinkling, Palpability: Many implants wrinkle in the body. You may feel some wrinkling and may feel the implant. This does not indicate a need for further surgery. Detectability depends considerably on subcutaneous fat. A completely natural looking and feeling result is possible only with greater than 15 mm of subcutaneous fat.

Extremely slim body and thin tissue: not suitable to have implants because of extreme detectability, unnaturalness and weakness of tissue.

Active breast deformities: Sub pectoral placement causes 1:20 patients to develop an active breast due to the adhesion of the scar tissue between the breast implant and the pectoral muscle. With the muscle action there is associated movement of the breast. This can be very obvious in the gym etc. An active scar is usually permanent.

Veins: Pre operative breast veins can become more apparent post operatively in the breast skin across the chest. It can become very disconcerting for patients.

Asymmetry: Where there is noticeable asymmetry of the nipple and areolar, breast shape and position, correction cannot be achieved with only breast augmentation. Other procedures may be necessary and should be discussed. Correction of unequal breast sizes with different size implants is an attempt to improve the results. It is not accurate and cannot achieve perfect symmetry.
Even when looking for asymmetry in physical examination and reviewing photos, asymmetry can still go undetected until after the operation. It can typically be far more obvious.

Recovery: The healing of each side of the breasts is always different due to the biological variations in the nerve supply and your individual response. The breasts will naturally feel different.

Cleavage: Skinny patients are unable to achieve a good cleavage with breast
augmentation. The space between the breasts remains wide.

Symmastia: Is the joining together of the breasts in the middle and the loss of cleavage. Patients with soft subcutaneous tissue and large implants risk symmastia.

Double Bubble: Can occur where the base of the natural breast is smaller than the base of the implant i.e. smaller breast on top of bigger implant.

Hi BrizVegas.
Thanks soooo much for this information. I think more women would be happy with their BA's (or at least satisfy many questions) if they read this. Can you start a new thread with this info so that it reaches many, many girls? What do you think?

Not a problem will do this soon!

[BrizVegas]

Well I just came back from my 6wk appt and all is good and well. The right breast is okay and was always a little lower even before BA. (he showed me the before shots) I guess it is true that I can notice it more now due to them being bigger and all! I did ask about going bigger and he said NO. lol He wasn't particularly happy I asked that as his attitude was why fix what isn't broken? But he did say I could discuss it in about a years time if I was still unhappy with size.

[krissy83]

Well its good to hear that he said nothing was wrong. Well except the NO part, lol. I don't think he understands boobie greed! lol.

Im pretty certain my nipples were not the same height before my original ba (which is so long ago i cant remember!) Maybe im just over critical this time because im so scared they are going to bottom out again so Im noticing every little thing.

Ill let you know how I go, and report back after my 6 weeks app, which is two weeks and counting!

Just another thing - did he clear you for exercise?

Thanks so much for that info too!

[BrizVegas]

Well keep me posted on your appt too. Yes I am all clear to do exercise now thankfully! I feel so yuk lol.
I know how you feel though about being critical. I thought I was bottoming out too but I really think you should be fine this time with the new *furries*.
Best of luck with your appt!

Howdy all, thought I would provide a similar update. I had my one-month post-op yesterday and lefty is still higher. My PS said he expected as much since lefty was smaller and he had to lower the crease. He said my progress is perfect and to expect lefty to catch up in the next 8 weeks or so. I was definitely asymmetrical before the BA and I knew going in that he was not going to get me to "perfect" (would have required a lift on the right as well - I opted out due to extra scarring). He did seem quite convinced that lefty will get much closer to righty though. I have my next appointment in early December so that should give plenty of time for lefty to get her act together! Good luck to all of us - fingers crossed!

Hi Briz - thanks for the update. I've been wondering about you and how you are doing. I agree with your PS as far as the "NO" - LOL! I think your boobs look great!

Hello BrizVegas! Thanks fo rthe update. SO what are your thoughts about what the PS stated? Are you going to have a correction done in the future? That is what I am thinking. I am thinking like if any complications come up over the years I will have a lift at that time.....here is hoping for the best

Hi homergirls! Hmmm well not sure really at this stage. Definitely if there was a problem, I would get a few things changed. I am so boob obsessed now it isn't funny! lol. I love this site but sometimes I see all the other perfect boobs and then question my own! But good luck and I hope for the best for all of us.
