Uneven/Lopsided Breast's After Breast Augmentation? (photo)

I was 30AA, had 305CC transaxillary, sub-pectoral. I'm now a 30DD, but my right breast is a lot higher than the left and has been higher since the operation.

Uneven breasts after BA

I agree with your evaluation. The right breast does appear higher and more constricted than the left. There are a couple of things that could have caused this. Your PS might not have created a big enough pocket for your implant. In this case, a simple revision can be done to drop the implant into its correct position.

If this has always been the case, then I would... more

Uneven after Transaxillary BA

You are correct that the implant position is uneven. I believe it is most likely due to insufficient dissection lower beneath the breast which did not allow the implant to be low enough. On the other hand capsule contracture can also create this appearance. Finally all of this depends on your own shape and whether or not you had any significant asymmetry to begin with. Return to your surgeon. I would hope he/she would want to help you.
