Uneven Dropping

NicholeF · 02-26-2007, 10:00 AM

My breasts are dropping unevenly- the right has dropped and fluffed and is about 3/4- 1 inch below the left. It looks great- bigger, softer, etc.

Wondering how many others had an uneven dropping- and to what degree.

Jess · 02-26-2007, 10:23 AM

I voted a moderate difference. I couldn't really tell looking at them but in some of my pics I could see that my right was dropping faster than the left, it also fluffed sooner. Now that I'm almost 6 months post-op they look to be right on. I've noticed they've fluffed a lot more than before and they seem to be right on.

leslie0764 · 02-26-2007, 11:12 AM

I voted for moderate difference, my leftie was higher and didn't finally even out until approx 4 months post op.

NicholeF · 02-26-2007, 11:17 AM

Thanks girls, that makes me feel much better about this.

Slinky · 02-26-2007, 12:15 PM

I went with moderate diff, too. My leftie is sitting higher and tighter. I am eagerly awaiting the day it catches up. Looks kinda weird naked right now.

I'm 3 weeks behind you. My right girl looks perfect. Left girl is "slow". I am no do a specific massage for the left breast.

NicholeF · 02-26-2007, 12:40 PM

I am def. being more aggressive with my leftie- aggressive massage, more frequently, and wearing the strap to push that side down. Hoping this helps her drop more.

My rightie seemed to drop/fluff overnight- about 2 1/2 weeks ago. She gets softer (and bigger) by the day!

I know I have a long way to go but I thought by 2 months PO that they would be evening out more....I hoped so anyway.

Phenomom · 02-26-2007, 03:07 PM

The left boobie started out in the lead. Oddly enough the right seemed to catch up and pass the left all at once. I voted modrate differance based on how they look today @ 2 wks.

ANJIL · 03-03-2007, 02:04 AM

Moderate for me as well. The right girl it going with the flow... the left however is doing it's own thing.

leolais · 03-22-2007, 07:55 PM

seems like everyones lefy is the black sheep of the boobies...keep your fingers crossed that mine will catch up with the right!

Galore · 03-22-2007, 10:01 PM

I have a lazy lefty too

I think it's about an inch difference. I got a larger implant on that side so it might be holding things up.

rhijennings · 03-22-2007, 10:24 PM

MY lefty was a little slower too but not much at all she has caught up already.

wonderwoman · 03-22-2007, 11:25 PM

First I want to say this is an AWESOME poll & thread. As many of you already know, I am strapped because of my stubborn leftie. I feel so much better to read that this seems to be a common issue. Everyday that is doesn't move down, I feel like I'm a day closer to another surgery...not the darn thing dropping. Thanks girls, I needed this thread!

kolie · 03-26-2007, 10:09 PM

I guess I was lucky as far as that part goes. They dropped evenly. But I did wear the strap. I am wondering if this contributed. I would also say that I haven't seen any changes since the end of month 2. Again I attribute that to the strap.

Galore · 03-26-2007, 10:36 PM

I *think* my left one might be dropping more, but that's just from looking in the mirror. I haven't taken any new pictures to accurately compare yet.

Since uneven dropping seems to be quite common, I'm wondering at what point does it become a problem that needs to be addressed? My next appointment is my 3 month postop, so another month and a half. I have been massaging but my plastic surgeon never mentioned a strap or anything like that.

amermaidseyez · 09-21-2009, 02:14 AM

my right one has dropped quickly too...looks and feels great...and the left one has a mind of her own...much higher and tighter...hasn't really dropped much at all...i wear the band for ms lefty...it's been 7 weeks post-op...time will tell

GoodKarma · 09-21-2009, 04:20 PM

I am the opposite. My right still at 3+ months post op is still higher and tighter. I just noticed in the last week my left dropped even more. I thought it was done! I am worried about my right! It was much smaller to begin with and has a larger implant.

Littlewitch X · 09-21-2009, 09:20 PM

Mine was minimal - my plastic surgeon told me about it on my 1st day post OP but I could not really tell any difference as both were swollen & stuck-up high(to my eyes, at least). My left was a bit slower d&f but then again, the difference wasn't quite noticeable.

amermaidseyez · 11-02-2009, 02:27 AM

My left is STILL high up there, and it's been a little over 3 months...i went to my surgeon last week and he keeps telling me they look great, nothing is perfect, etc...i'm starting to freak out now...i feel as if i should go to another dr for a second opinion...
