Can I Use Two Different Breast Implant Profiles to Correct Natural Asymmetry?

July 15, 2010
Asked By:3948anon in Chicago burbs

A little preface. I'm 5'8, 170lbs, asymmetrical (38C & 38D) I do have a good amt of tissue. I've had my pre op today & tried on many different sizes & profiles. Surprisingly enough, the ones that looked the best were a moderate profile 339cc on the larger, and a 450cc high profile on the smaller. the projection looked right, Both the consultant and the doc agreed. I'm worried there could be significant differences going between the 2 profiles. Is this normal practice? Thank you.
