Procedure to Fix my Uneven Breasts Without Implants?

SybilVaneSep 28, 2010
Hello! I'm a 21 year old girl who is pretty fed up with having uneven breasts. My left breast is about a 34D, while my right looks like it could be a B cup at best. Since I've heard breasts are pretty much done growing by age 21, I'm trying to look for an alternative. What would be a procedure I could use where I don't have to get implants, but can still keep a relatively good size, if at all possible? If implants are a must, I'll get them, but right now I guess I'm trying to keep costs low.

A 75 cc difference should not warrant further pocket dissection. Unlike prior to having any breast implant in place, your tissues are now stretched by the 300 cc implant. There should not be a great deal of complexity to exchanging your implant size.

It is possible, with the implants riding high right after surgery, to feel looseness or emptiness at the lower aspect of the breast. Typically, after implant gravitational descent, "dropping", this may correct. I recommend massage to assist in implant position as they drop and settle...

It should be ok to be 'in' the ocean after 2-3 weeks, but actively swimming in the ocean can be fairly strenuous and potentially dangerous in rough surf. Also I would still be very careful about sun exposure to the chest area.

The link below has a fun breast sizing tool that may be fun for you to play with as an estimate only. You may want to attempt the rice test or zip-lock tests, I have described in earlier answers. Also you can purchase breast sizers.

The breast has a very natural look, although the nipple is a little high on the breast projection from the side.  The outcome is dependent on your preoperative anatomy.  I would not attempt to lower them at this point though.  I don't think they need correction.

First of all, there is no guarantee of cup size after augmentation, all sizes look different from person to person. I prefer submuscular placement, as it tends to hide and cover the implant better. You may or may not be a candidate for that procedure, if you have full or mildly low breasts, your...
