Minor asymmetries could be adjusted with implants

Is it possible to create an even, matching symmetrical breast visual line from the top, side and bottom of both breasts using Silicone memory gel implants?

A breast implant whether gel or saline is a neutral device deisgned to add volume to the breast. There are several secondary effects related to breast augmentation including lifting,symmetry creation by using implants that are different in size and shape.

The bottom line is your current breast shape and volume. Minor asymmetries could be fixed, major asymmetries will require more surgical intervention.

It is not the implant that will correct the asymmetry but your plastic surgeon.  Any implant will do whether saline or silicone.  They both do the job.

Now having said that, no two breast are ever symmetrical before surgery and will not be completely symmetrical after surgery.  They will be a lot closer after having plastic surgery but you should not expect them to be exactly the same as that is not possible.  It really depends on how much asymmetry you have to start with.

Good luck.
