Fixing Uneven Breasts

When possible, correcting asymmetry by aligning the inframmary creases is appropriate. In your case, it can be done by lowering the left inframmary fold will help immprove the symmetry. For size recommendations, an in person consultation and exam is in order. Consult with 3 - 4 experienced and expert board certified plastic surgeons to explore your options.

Correction of breast asymmetry is more than volume correction which is unidimsnional thinking. It is like saying asking a 5 foot 2 inch individual weighing 100 lbs to gain 20 pound so that she will look identical to a 5 foot 7 inch individual weighing 12O lbs. It just doesn't work that simply.

You may best reach your size and symmetry goals with a silicon gel implant placed above the muscle

Your photos show a mild breast asymmetry that I believe is caused mainly by a higher fold on the left and not by any significant difference in your breast size. Ideally, lowering the left inframammary fold to the level on the right will do most to correct this asymmetry. However this is technically difficult to do and virtually impossible if the implant is placed beneath the muscle. In addition I feel that either the 475cc or 500cc will not fit comfortably or naturally beneath the muscle.... more

Asymmetric breasts and implants

All breasts are asymmetric. I prefer to use the same shaped and sized silicone implants in patients that have small or minor asymmetries. The larger the implant the less noticeable the small difference of the original breast volume there will be.
