Q: Questions...uneven Breasts And Breast Implants??
asked by: mdw2004 on June 16th, 2004

I have uneven breasts and I would like to get breast implants. I would like to know how this would work. I would also like to know if, one day when I am old, will one sag more than the other? I would like to also hear from other women about implants and their cost, the healing time, the risks, just basically any information you can give me about breast augmentation.

No one is perfect! Most of our breasts are uneven! Try to accept yourself as you are! My sister had a boob job, they started to leak, she got real sick, ended up getting them infected and had drains coming out of her nipples! I have had friends that have had breast cancer and had to have them removed, heck uneven breasts are nothing, be happy with yourself the way you are! You need to really think about this. My sister even told me that hers were hard and unnatural looking and feeling. I hope I don't sound too mad, just try to be happy with what you have. If you do decide to have this done I sure hope everything comes out o.K. And you are happy!
Sincerely,
sandy

Thanks For the Warning
I have wanted breast implants since I was young. They just seem like an awesome addition a woman can do for her body. Unfortunately, I do worry about the risks. Thank you for your story and keep me updated!

Breast Implants For "unevens"
Well, maybe my story can help you. I had always had small breasts when I was growing up, and even into adulthood. My problem came when I started breast feeding my first and only child. My left breast seemed to squirt away with milk, while my right breast trickled along. When my breast feeding was done (about 1 month b/c I couldn't produce enough to keep up with my little piggie) my breasts were left permanently deformed. My left breast was a full cup size larger than my right. I was already very conscious of having small breasts, but by then I was devistated by having uneven and small breasts. I had always told myself that I could live with small ones, but with uneven and small, that was my breaking point. My husband and I applied for a credit card that had one year free interest, and I went to the doctor that did my best friend's breasts, which by the way are beautiful. All around, the surgery cost me about $3,900 and was worth every penny. My self confidence level is through the roof like never before! I have had my breast implants for about 3 years now and have never had any complications. The same doctor did about 4 other friends of mine before me, and with their success rate came my descision about using him. His name is Dr. Seidel and he is in cullman, alabama. He did our surgeries in the main hospital and I was very pleased with every aspect of my procedure. (down to the nurses in the hospital and his office staff) I have been in the medical field for a while, and I know good staffing when I see it! Right after the surgery, boy did I hurt, but it eventually got better day by day. I would say that I was back to normal in a month. (completely) of course with any surgery comes risks, and I was well aware of them all. (leakage, falling, hardening, rejection by the body, etc...) fortunately I have never experienced any of those risks. During your consultation, if you decide to go for it, they will tell you of all the risks involved, allow you to look at pictures of before and afters, and the doctor will even look at yours and tell you his opinion vs. What you want. I hope this helps. :d

Re: Breast Implants For "unevens"
Most woman have uneven breast...Its not a big deal...Unless it is for u. My left one was alot smaller on top of that they were so small that it was noticable....Every female in my family had implants...So naturally I wanted them since I was 14 I knew they would not get any bigger...I got implants 8yrs ago...I am so much more happier, it was worth every penny, about 5,000 dollars all together. I lived in los angeles for nearly 7 yrs and went to alot of consultations but was never satisfied with what the dr said or how the before and after pics looked. My mother gave me alot of advice, she had hers done about 25 yrs ago and 1 child later, never sagged, yes there is risk, risk to any surgery. After I got mine done, about six months later, the right one would hurt at times then I noticed it was getting hard, I called my dr went in to see him, well I had complications in the right one my body was rejecting it, well I figured if I was going to have to have it redone I might as well get them a little bigger so I did...As for them being uneven, the dr just put more saline in the right one to make it the same size as the left....I haven't had any more problems since, I have more self esteem, I dont walk around with my arms crossed trying to hide my small boobs.....I would do it all over again in a heart beat, I got them under the muscle so my healing time was longer all together about 6 wks, well worth it....If u do have it done, don't rush into it, go to plenty of drs first, a good dr will offer free consultations so u wont lose out on any money..Some offer 50.00 dollar consultations then the money goes towards the surgery, if u dont have it done u lose the $, I always went to the free ones, my mom always told me when u find the right dr u will know it, I went to about 20 visits, finally, in kansas city I went to dr hall, and before I left I knew it like she said and made all the arrangements before I left that day.......Good luck

uneven breasts
ok first of all to those people who wrote, "everyone is uneven" and "its not a big deal" and so on need to shut up. obviously they dont even know. There are breasts that are uneven but still normal looking and not that noticable. Then there are breasts that are a cup or multiple cup sizes different. People who do not have this problem DO NOT understand at all, and they shouldnt even talk OR offer their opinion b/c they could never even begin to understand. Its a problem you have to deal with everyday, and for me it has worsened my depression. I dont have enough money right now for the surgery and stupid insurance didnt cover it. I dont even want implants. i just want one breast reduction so they are a normal medium size. Im also going to college next year so i have paying for that to worry about as well. I will not feel normal until i get this fixed and no one's "kind words" can change that.

Danihani,

I understand your frustration. I know what it's like to have to deal with something that not many people understand. They do mean well though and are only trying to help. Just a suggestion, if you are able to afford small payments you might look into some credit programs that the doctors offer or even a credit card with small payments. It's a good way to start building your credit and you would probably feel great about yourself afterwards. Good Luck! I hope this works out for you.

thanks (uneven breasts)
Wendyrs,

Thank you for your message. I have looked into the small payments thing, but I just don't think that is an option right now. I won't stop looking for different options though. I was very upset when I wrote that message as well so I apologize to anyone if it came off rude. Thanks again, and I hope it works out too.
