Just Had a Lift and Aug, my Left Breast is Bigger, Should I Get a Revision to Even Them Out?

My left breast has always been bigger than my right breast, and my right one was a little tuberous. I had an augmentation to stretch out the skin. 3 months later I had a augmentation (switched to bigger implants) and lift but the left still looks a little bigger and the areolas don't look even. Should I get a revision? Is it worth it? It has only been a week since the second surgery (lift and exchange of implants). I just want to know if my breasts will even out.

I would suggest that you continue to follow-up with your plastic surgeon and exercise patience for at least 3 to 6 months before evaluating the results of surgery and/or... more
