Uneven Breast After Lift and Augmentation Causing Difficulties Wearing Bra, What Should I Do?

I had a breast lift with augmentation 8 months ago but my breast looks more uneven. The left side has a 200cc saline implant and on the right a 180 cc saline implant. I can feel the implant on my right breast on the bottom right corner and my areola is closer to my sternum causing me problems when I wear any bra. The left side sits higher and harder then the left. I think it's has capsular contracture. My PS doesnt think there is anything wrong with my breast.

You may want to demonstrate your concerns with and without a bra on. if you continue to feel that there is a “failure of communication” between you and your plastic surgeon a second opinion may be helpful. It will be important to seek this opinion with a board-certified plastic surgeon well-versed with revisionary breast... more
