My Breast Augmentation is Totally Uneven. What Went Wrong? (photo)

I got my BA 12/19/11. Silicone 335cc brand: Silimed under the muscle. Since day one my breast were never even. The left side is smaller more centered and the nipple is perkier. I don't have any swollen anymore. I don't feel confident to be naked. With bra the difference is almost unnoticeable. Can this be fixed? Would it be easy? Why is that the size is different if before the BA the difference wasn't that noticeable. The Dr. blames the prior unevenness.

Revisionary breast surgery may help improve symmetry; much of what would be done... more
