Radiated TRAM Reconstruction and Symmetry
This is a difficult question to answer without a thorough exam, but I have performed reduction and further shaping of the non-radiated larger side to acheive better symmetry with some success. Options for the radiated side may be limited depending on how badly the radiated TRAM has been affected.

Tram reconstruction and revision
It is impossible to answer this questions tan exam. It is possible to reduce the larger side, but you may need more volume and shape to the radiated side. You need to be seen in person.
