Do You Recommend Breast Implants For Me? (photo)

I'm 19, 5'6 , 102lbs I have a 1 year old baby. After pregnancy I suffered engorgement in one breast and it seems like after that ones a cup size smaller. So it's like I have AA on one and A on another. I bought one of the nice add a cup bra's from aerie but although it makes one side look great the other is nonexistent in the A cup bra and if you look down you can see my nipple and notice the difference. It kills me to have such small uneven breasts and to know there's no hope of them growing.

Are you planning on having any other children. If so, do you plan on breast feeding? Your breasts will once again change if you answer yes. If you do not plan on having any more children for at least several years and you can afford it, then I would see a few board certified plastic... more

Breast implants can help

You are a good candidate for breast augmentation with implants. Depending on your goals you may also be a candidate for a breast lift. With implants, you can achieve better symmetry and upper pole fullness. A full consultation would be essential for best recommendations.

The posted photos show asymmetry so to attain a symmetric result an implant surgery could help. Best to seek in person evaluations and a surgical plan.

Correction of breast asymmetry

The asymmetry you have can only be corrected with a surgical procedure. There are two options for you. The first and more commonly performed procedure would be breast augmentation with different implant sizes in each breast to balance the volume difference. The second option would be fat transfer to the left breast to increase the volume of the left breast with fat taken from the abdomen, flanks or thighs. The fat transfer procedure has some advantages but is going to be dictated by your... more

Breast Augmentation Recommended?

During this decision-making process, you should carefully consider the pros/cons as well as the potential risk/complications associated with breast implants. Also, consider timing of the surgery in relation to your life circumstances (for example if other pregnancies... more

Definitely recommend implants

Sorry about your asymmetry, but a good plastic surgeon should be able to correct your asymmetries without much difficulty. It appears that your left inframammary fold is higher than the right side. During augmentation, it could be lowered to match the opposite side. I would not recommend fat grafts because that would not allow you to lower the left fold. It also appears that your right nipple and areola are larger and lower than the left. This could be corrected... more
