“Asymmetrical Breast Implants”
The main reason I got implants was to correct the asymmetry of my breasts. I felt like they were very uneven and it made me self conscious.
I am now 3 weeks post-op and my breasts still do not look even to me, just bigger. During my 1 week post-op appt, my doctor was surprised that I wasn't pleased and said they look pretty even. I would like someone else's opinion.

Do my breasts look even or do I need to get my breast augmentation corrected?

I haven't been on my page in forever so I just wanted to give a quick update/re-cap. In Aug. 2009, I had my initial breast augmentation with 300 cc in the right breast and 225 in the left breast. When I woke up from surgery, I could immediately tell that my breasts were still uneven and I told this to the nurse. Everyone brushed off my comment because I was just waking up. When I returned for my post-op appts, Dr. Taki seemed completely surprised that I thought my breasts were still uneven. I wish I had videotaped the surgery because I truly think he put the same cc's in both implants. My breasts looked just as uneven as before, only larger. In Dec. 2009, I returned to Dr. Taki to correct my right breast implant, which now has 380 cc's. It's now Aug. 2011 and I feel like my breasts are the same size but they aren't even. My right breast is slightly higher and more firm on top. With a push-up bra (34D), my breasts look nice. Without a bra, they look uneven because of the higher implant. Dr. Taki NEVER discussed the possibility of multiple surgeries and charged me for the 2nd surgery to correct his 80 cc mistake. I do not trust him and would not recommend him to anyone.

I forgot to mention that Dr. Taki took BEFORE photos of my breasts but never bothered taking AFTER photos....I wonder why.... I guess patients with poor results don't make it in the photo album he shows prospective patients.
This review is the subjective opinion of a RealSelf member and not of RealSelf, Inc.
In my opinion, the left one (your left, my right) looks bigger both pre- and post-op. But, since it's only been 3 weeks, swelling could be the reason they seem uneven. Here are two related Q&As about post-augmentation swelling that might help (both were also 3 weeks post-op when they asked their questions):
Uneven breasts from breast augmentation edema?
Fixing uneven breasts after breast augmentation?
Best of luck with your recovery!
I hate to say it Hun but that Dr. I'd say is wrong! Your left is bigger. It is not suttle. Would not recommend him to anyone.
I high recommend going to Dr Shaw or Borsand. I went to www.bevhillsdoc.com and I am NOT happy.
He is a fabulous Doctor. He cares about YOU personally. His work is OUTSTANDING. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Leber and I apologize for making this review without allowing time for my 2nd surgery to settle.
I am 100% satisfied with Dr Leber.
