In September I got ba I started out with my left breast being larger then my right. So my doctor and I decided for 550cc for my right and 525 for my left. Right after surgery he told me he filled my left to 520. As of now my left is visibly smaller then my right. When I talked with my doctor he said that I could pay for another surgery and fill up my left more. I am just confused why it's so much smaller when it started out larger and it's on 30 cc different

Answer: Revision breast surgery for size asymmetry Thirty cc's is not that much of a difference. If you have a revision procedure and the only thing that is done is that 30 cc''s are added, I don't think that you will notice much of a change. It would be nice to know if your implants have been changing over time. If the left implant appears to be getting smaller with time and firmer, there is a good chance that a capsular contracture is the cause of the size asymmetry. If the left side has been smaller since the first week after surgery, then it could be that you need a bigger implant. The only reason that one implant would need to be bigger is if the breasts were different sizes before surgery. If they were not notably different in size before surgery, you need to make sure that you don't have a capsular contracture.

Answer: Asymmetry after surgery. There appears to be more than 30 cc of difference. Without seeing before photos it is hard to comment on the choice of implants. If indeed the size difference was small, I would have some concern about a fluid collection around the right implant causing the size discrepancy. If there is another procedure upcoming, I suspect a new implant of a larger size will be needed for symmetry. All the best.
