"I am considering breast augmentation. I heard that during the healing process, one breast may drop faster than the other, and one may be larger than the other due to the swelling. Is this true?"

It is true that sometimes one implant may "settle" into position more quickly than the other. But excessive swelling of one breast during the immediate postoperative period could indicate a problem. In such instance, one should always consult with the operating surgeon.
