Right boob looks different and worried Started by: Chantel

I’m still having the same problem, right from day one my right had a weird downward slope with the emptiness at the bottom. I wonder if it’s definitely to do with doing too much with our right hands? It’s still really early days so I’m going to wait til my 6 week post op appointment and see if it’s settled.

In the meanwhile, to make you feel better, here’s my 3 & 10 day post op comparison ? ? ? They look OK from the front, from the side my right is still weird. But they’ve changed so much in 10 days I’m (almost) confident ours will eventually even out!

See you say mine look ok, that’s just from the front. My right is definitely smaller and flatter from the side and if I lean over its even more obvious! I think yours are looking great, obviously don’t feel afraid to bring it up with your surgeon, you paid a lot of money and a little reassurance would be better than nothing x

Yeah unfortunately I was doing normal house duties the day after I got out of hospital. Not hoovering but carrying the washing basket hanging it out etc, long walks pushing the pram, changing the bed (ouch!!!) and on the 7th I drove a 2 hour round trip that ended up being 6 hours due to accidents 🙁 I think you need to rest up though, I think straining the muscles just going to keep it tighter for longer.

Do you take your sports bras off often? I’ve basically lived in mine, I feel vulnerable when I take it off lol.

Obviously picking up the bubbas is unavoidable but try switching to the other side, I carry my 18 month old on my left hip instead of right because I’m determined to sort out the flat boob!

I didn’t really have a choice I have no one helping me out ? Where did you get your sports bra from? I find M&S extra high impact ones are really nice and supportive. I’ve bought just a regular high impact one for night time, it’s a little looser and comfortable for sleeping.
I don’t know if you’re able to email your Patient Coordinator at all? Maybe send some pics?
I get to see my surgeon at the end of August for a follow up, I think 3 months is far too long!

I’d drop them an email with some pics, I’m sure they’ll have seen lots of people that aren’t happy and they should be able to give you some advice. Are your implants textured? I’m aware you can do some sort of massage if you have smooth implants that helps them settle into the pocket better. Mine are textured so I’m not meant to do anything like that.
Don’t regret your decision, you have a good guarantee with Mya 🙂 worst case scenario you’d get them revised, at best your surgeon won’t see you til 3 months because he knows how much potential change can happen in that time 🙂

Hi girls, I had an uplift as well as the implants 11 days ago and too feel my right boob is higher. I can still see the outline of the top of the implant in that one. Mine have both got a LONG way to go before they get to where they need to be but I suspect if you’re right handed your muscles are probably much firmer in that side to start with so it maybe isn’t as easy for the implant to move? From the side mine look different shapes too. It’s still early days Chantel but I think we’re all worriers about our ops. I’d contact MYA to raise your concerns, even if it’s just a case of them putting your mind at rest. I think we’re all very critical because we scrutinise them so much and want them to be perfect. Xx

Hi chantel, so glad you feel reassured ? To be honest I’ve been really surprised at how little pain I’ve been in. I was expecting to be in absolute agony but it’s felt sore rather than painful. I’ve really turned a corner over the weekend and aren’t taking any medication at all now. It seemed as though as soon as I’d had my 1 week review everything suddenly improved – don’t know whether that was because I had peace of mind that everything was healing well. Up until Saturday I hadn’t even looked at the real boobies – I’d only seen the photos my boyfriend had taken as I was scared of not liking them but I’m happy – phewww. I got the macom bras mainly because I had the uplift as well. I wanted as much support as possible as I’m paranoid about them dropping again but do t think there’s much chance of that for a while lol. Xx

You see I think both you girls look amazing. Do you think everybody’s look different from the side? I think mine just look like slopes and my nipples look lower than I thought they would. Xx

Hi , mine are the same I’m 4 weeks post op and my right looks bigger and has dropped a lot more than my left there is about an inch difference between two as in my right is a inch higher than my left I just hope they even out !

It’s not letting me upload for some reason – don’t know why as I’ve uploaded the same pic before

Thank you – I’m so happy with them compared to what I had before – despite my worries. I can’t wait to see them when the stitching is all healed xx
