Will a Revision Help After Breast Lift with Implants Left Me Uneven?

I had a breast lift on 5/17/10. I am very disappointed. My breasts are very asymmetric & are very differently shaped. My ps used a 300 saline mod profile in right side & 210 in the left. The Right (smaller breast with 300 cc) has some upper fullness but the nipple points out. The left (210 cc) has no upper fullness. Did I bottom out? Also what is the best way to even them out? I know some asymmetry is normal but this looks very uneven. I just hope there is some hope for me to have nice breasts.

Judging by the volume difference in the implants used, it appears that you had a significant volume discrepancy. It is still relatively early after your surgery and you are likely to experience changes which could make the difference better or worse. IT is hard to tell you if you "bottomed... more
