Breast asymmetry

I can not tell you whether or not the new implant is appropriate for you without an exam, but you will need a pocket revision so that the right implant pocket is lower.

When you need a revision like yours it is not the same as a first time patient with no scar tissues.

Breast Revision

I can't tell from the narrative if the right implant is firm, which would imply that you have a capsular contracture. The alternative explanation is that the right implant hasn't dropped, and is therefore malpositioned. Lowering the implant to the proper position would be the surgical treatment. There are no fixed definitions for cup size, and I have patients who can wear cups of 3 different sizes that fit. That makes it quite difficult to use cup size as a end point. I would... more
