Breast Assymetry After Implants?

I had a 200 cc silicone implant put in one breast. It's too low and much rounder than the other one. The dr says he will have to leave a vertical scar to lift the implant . Is this true. Should we have used anatomical teardrop implants instead? The implanted breast is 1. TOO LOW and 2. Too round!

I also cannot tell if you have had one or both breasts enlarged. As to choice of implant, possible need for a lift, neither can be answered without more info. Please consider posting photos with your questions. Either way, following up with your surgeon is essential, and getting a second opinion may... more

Breast Asymmetry after Breast Augmentation?

Thank you for the question. As you can imagine, despite your description of breast asymmetry, it is not possible to give you precise advice without direct examination or viewing pictures. You may want to submit pictures for this purpose. Better yet, communicate these questions with your plastic surgeon for the most precise advice possible.
