Asymmetric Breasts, Different Breast Diameter, Different Profile Implants?

I had a breast lump(benign) removed over 15 years ago leaving me a little asymmetric. After breastfeeding I now am worse. Mainly volume, not shape. Dr said I do not require a lift. My rt breast is 13.1cm and my left breast 13.5cm. He suggested 400cc mod+ on the rt, 320cc mod left(silicone). If I went to 375cc mod+ rt and 300cc mod left(12.8cm), would that be too small? I'm 5"6 165 lbs, fit, size 12. Also is it typical to use two different profiles?

It will be important for you to understand that absolute symmetry will likely not be achieved despite best efforts. I would suggest that you communicate your desired goals with your plastic surgeon.

Breast asymmetry

Asymmetry of the two breasts is fairly common. Obviously with tissue removed on one side will make them asymmetric. Choosing the correct implant really is done in the office during evaluation. It is hard to say via this forum what would be best for you. Sometimes different profile implants are indicated.
