I am 8 mos post-op w L breast cleavage higher vs R. I feel it is very noticable in bathing suits and any tops that show cleavage.Also when I lay on my back L breast sits higher where as R breast pulls slightly down toward my side.Would decreasing L side by 50cc help?No capsular contracture present.I would appreciate any thoughts on the topic.Thanks.
Answer: A minor revision can lower your high breast implant but there are risks. Thank you for your photographs and question. From your photographs you appear to have an excellent result following breast augmentation.However I do see the asymmetry that is visible from above and a bathing suit.If this is so frustrating that you would consider revision surgery then revision is likely possible. The implant can be dropped to a lower position but maythen not have the excellent symmetry that you have in your inframammary crease and the lower portion of your implants. Furthermore revision may also increase her chance of developing a capsular contraction.If you can tolerate the asymmetry from above I think you'll be better off.

Answer: Post op asymmetry I would be very careful! You have a very nice result. Are you willing to risk your result to correct the asymmetry? We all have asymmetry before surgery and we will all have it after surgery.I'm not sure a 50 cc change will help, it looks to me that if the left pocket was made slightly wider the left implant would not be as high. However capsular contracture can also do this and it may not be unreasonable to try a course of accolate.
