Lift and Augmentation to Correct Asymmetry in Woman Post 2 Children, 2 Years Breast Feeding? (photo)

I looking to correct a congenital asymmetry that only worsened after getting mastitis twice to smaller RT breast. I am aprox 200 lbs and 6 ft tall. I have included photos of myself and what I am trying to achieve. I am also getting a lift which I need and I was told I would only have a lollypop scar to bilateral breasts. Based on my breast volume, symmetry, chest anatomy and nipple locations what silicone breast implant and profile do you recommend? Thank you for your time.

Breast Asymmetry Improvement?

Thank you for your question and photos. It does look like breast lifting and implants will help achieve your goals. In regards to choosing your breast implant size, I generally suggest patients: 1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you're looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.    2. Have a full discussion... more

Implant size

You are a relatively tall lady. I agree that you will need some sort of lift. The sizing of the implant depends on your chest and breast diameter.

Breast Asymmetry Corrected with Breast Augmentation and Lift

Breast augmentation with a larger implant in the smaller breast with a circumvertical, vertical or full breast lift, depending upon size of implants placed, could address your issues.

Predicting outcomes with asymmetric and drooping breasts

Is extremely difficult. You should share your goals with your chosen doctor and let him/her let you know what he/she can accomplish from your list of desires. I can guarantee bigger and fuller and nipples perhaps closer to even but beyond that, I can only try my best to help you achieve the photo you submitted. Communicate with your doctor.

Breast implant issues

It is best to go for an exam to determine the best implants for you. I am not sure which are your photos but in the middle it looks like the patient had liposuction as well based upon the ones on the middle right. Good luck.

Breast Lift and Augmentation #breastimplants

Thank you for your question. Your pictures are ok. In reality our comments are general so although it would be nice to see your complete set of photos and examine you I can speak generally here. It would seem that you need a breast lift from your frontal view picture. If you were my patient I would use the classic wise pattern for you lift because this will allow for removal of enough tissue on the right to help even out your size discrepancy. It can be done with a lollipop incision but in... more

Lift and Augmentation to Correct Asymmetry in Woman Post 2 Children, 2 Years Breast Feeding?

Thanks for your question and posted photos. I would approach you with a surgery plan of two operations. First op would be lifting to correct asymmetry and fat grafts for volume difference. Than wait 4 to 6 months for silicone UHP implants .

Correction of breast asymmetry

You really have two different problems with significant asymmetry. There is more sagging on the right side than the left and your right side is larger. The left breast has a shorter distance from the nipple to the inframammary crease. A mastopexy augment can be performed to make you "evener" but absolute symmetry is not possible. It will be important for you to recognize that you will never look like your proposed ideal shape. It is important, from the... more

Correct Asymmetry

Thank you for enclosing the photos. It would help to see a side view with your right breast closest to the camera for discussion of a lift. Over the last 3 decades I have tried various techniques for your problem, I see it several times a year. The technique I have used for the last several years tends to give very good results. That would require a lift first of all. I think, based on your photos, a Periareolar or Donut lift would work very well and at the time do a reduction of the right... more

Silicone implant size with breast lift procedures

You do have some substantial breast asymmetry - I tend to use smaller silicone implants when I do combination breast lift and augmentation procedures. Its always tempting to place a large implant at time of breast lift surgery - but the risk of woudn healing issues and other problems is quite high. You'll likely need differentially sized silicone implants based on your breast volume asymmetry. I am located in your area of Washington, and would be happy to see you in consultation if you're... more

VERY similar to mine. I had open heart surgery done 38 years ago when I was born and there was a left scar placed under my left breast which left them uneven. I picked my Dr. wisely. This was a 2 step procedure due to the scar that was there and attached to my ribs for the past 38 years... On Aug 24, 12 I had bilateral gel implant placed. The one on the left was larger in volume to "blow out" that initial scar as well as that same scar was detached from my ribs. Today 1-4-13 I had a smaller implant placed and allthough he had to make an incision suture under my left breast more then a normal breast implant surgery without the complication I had, I am not worried for many reasons...1. Once your breasts drop after surgery which can take 6 months I won't see it anyway and if I do some oh well my breasts will now be even and fuller. I also had a donut lift on my right to make my nipples even. I have always wanted this surgery and was very self concious about them. Do not just go to any Dr! Good Luck
