What is Wrong with my Breast Implants? (photo)

I have 550cc in my right and 500cc in my left. This is a silicone implant under the muscle. These are photos of my revision and I am currently 4 mo post op. My first surgery I recieved 375cc in my right and 425 in my left....so why it was switched the second time around, I don't know. My complaint with my first surgery was that the breasts didn't look symmetrical.? This is again my complaint. What can I do? Really hoping I don't have to undergo another surgery and it's costs.

What is Wrong with my Breast Implants?

Over the internet with no original posted photos very hard to response. It appears as you have complete different shaped and volume breasts. Yes you will need more surgery to correct.

Breast Implants and Asymmetry

Hard to comment on this one without the operative note and preoperative photographs. I guess it is possible that the size of the right and left were switched or they may have been switched on your cards.

Asymmetry after second breast augmentation

Hello and thanks for the questions and photos. From the last pic it appears you have near symmetry with a bit of difference in the nipple position and possibly shape.

Post Operative Asymmetry

Thank you for the question and your pictures. It is difficult to advise without the aid of photos from pre-op and post-op of your first augmentation. This will help in evaluating any pre-existing and subsequent post-operative asymmetries. In any case it would appear from the photos provided as though you will most likely require re-operation to resolve the asymmetry. Good luck.

What is Wrong with my Breast Implants?

Without seeing the photos from before surgery it is hard to comment on why the right side had a 175 cc enlargement, and the left side only a 75 cc enlargement. If the breasts were the same size before the recent surgery, it may be that an error was made and the implants placed in the wrong sides. That would explain the larger right breast. Best wishes.
