What Would You Suggest for Implant Size and How to Fix my Current Breasts with Surgery? (photo)

I'm 5'7" with a athletic body build, weighing 185, and my rib cage measures 34in. This will be my third surgery, as the first 2 were uneven. I want a very fake look with roundness on top. I went under the muscle and have 500cc in RB, 450 LB. I feel like my right breast still is too far into my armpit even though stiches were put in place to keep it from bottoming out. I am very unhappy with my look. What size would you recommend and what should I say to my surgeon to get the rock star look?

Update:

I have Mentor smooth, round, high profile silicone implants (R-500 cc, L-450). My first surgery was in June 2011, with a revision in late July. My 3rd sugery is scheduled with the same doctor in less than 2 weeks. He suggested 700 and 650 respectively. I'm nervous that I still wont get the results that I asked for the first time. Will that size of implant give me the results I'm looking for? Very full, round on top and NO natural look. He is board certified, but how can I get him to understand.

Taking the lateralizing forces of the pectoralis out of the picture can be helpful in the "atheletic" build. One other change could be the switch to a maximally filled saline implant. Remember however, a subglandular saline... more

Breast Implant Exchange

Without pre-op pictures, it is impossible to give you specific advice. However, there is an obvious asymmetry that can be improved. We would also need more information about your surgery, such as how long ago was it, type of implant, etc. Good Luck.

Fixing Breast Asymmetry

SURGICAL RECOMMENDATION - right inferomedial capsulotomy - right lateral capsulorraphy with alloderm sling support Essentially your right breast capsule has become malpositioned over time and now is sitting more lateral on your chest wall and into the right axillary region. Releasing the medial inferior capsule and allowing the implant to slide that way while closing out the space laterally towards your axilla should give you the Rock Star look you want. more
