Asymmetry After BA and BL? (photo)

Im 6 months post op from BA and BL.I did not have any asymmetry prior to surgery.Now my breast are uneven.One is high and 1 is low + shape is different on each side.I would like to find out what caused this asymmetry?Left breast points to the left and right is just straight.Also my left breast leans towards my armpit.Right breast is just straight on the chest.Is this surgeons error?implant pocket problems?Can it be fixed?Would i benefit from bigger implants? Thank you for your help.

Asymmetry From Breast Aug/Lift?#breastimplants

There are many things going on here. 6 months is a good amount of time to let things settle but they will also continue to settle over the next 6 months. It would help to see a pre-operative photo because that would alert me to asymmetry that you might have had before surgery. Being that said, I think you look pretty good. What you need to realize is that an augmentation/mastopexy is one of the hardest surgeries we do. When you try to change so many variables of the breast at the same time,... more

Asymmetry After BA and BL?

Without before photos posted very nard to advise if additional surgery would satisfy you. My guess is no, but only in person evaluation will help answer that. Best to seek in person second opinions.,

Asymmetry after Breast Lift and Augmentation

Asymmetry after a breast augmentation and lift can be multifactorial. Asymmetries that exist prior to surgery will sometimes exist in some form postoperatively. Surgery cannot always replace mother nature, and it is important for the surgeon and patient to be realistic in what can and cannot be accomplished. Although some asymmetries still exist in your case, alot has also been accomplished. Your breasts have more volume and have improvement in shape... more

Different Breasts after Surgery

In your case it is prudent that we see your preoperative photos. It may be that with smaller breasts that you had a very minor asymmetry that is now magnified with larger breasts. I assumed that you had a periareolar lift also secondary to your scar this may have contributed to the lateral position of the nipple areolar complex. It is best to revisit with your PS for strategies to address your issues but for this online forum preoperative pictures may help give you more insight to solutions... more

Asymmetry After BA and BL?

Moderate amount of asymmetry to be difficult to diagnose from two-dimensional photographs and her better evaluated in the consultation room. Appreciate your question in the photographs. The 4 photographs that have been closed only the third one appears to have been taken straight on. The breasts appeared fairly symmetric with the exception of the size and scarring around the areolae. I do think he we have some benefit from revision of the closures around the areolae to try to make them... more

Breast Asymmetry

Breast lift and augmentation cannot correct all asymmetries in the breast, meaning they will not look exactly equal postoperatively in all women. From your photos, it is difficult to determine exactly how asymmetric you are, due to the picture being taken from above the breast. Overall, from what I see, you have a fairly symmetric result and I don't know if further attempts at surgery will improve your symmetry. I counsel patients preoperatively that while we can usually... more

BA/BL Asymmetry

Hello, I am sorry that you do feel frustrated. At 6 months post-op, you have accomplished a great deal of recovery yet, I encourage you to be a little more patient and give your body another 3 months before you take you final judgement. Meanwhile, it is hard to provide you with a solid assessment without a physical examination and knowing the full details of your surgery. Furthermore, if you were to have a breasts asymmetry before you underwent surgery then the augmentation... more

Breast asymmetry after augmentation with lift

It is hard to comment without examining you in person and not having seen you pre-operatively. With breast augmentation, your breasts become larger and fuller; however, it tends to exaggerate any asymmetry that you had pre-operately. If your implants are falling laterally toward the armpit, then sutures can be placed to prevent the lateralization of the implant. Overall shape asymmetry may be improved by revision mastopexy; however, please remember that all women have asymmetry... more
