Breast augmentation revision, a second opinion never hurts

Breast augmentation results can be limited by asymmetry of the breast or differences in the skin envelope of the breast.

If in doubt - get a Second Opinion

No point in commenting on the fine points of your question especially without a photograph to show us what you are referring to. For your own peace of mind, if you have any lingering doubts or questions, there is no better investment than getting one or more OTHER opinions regarding your situation and possible options. Good Luck.
