I previously had a BA surgery and had 320/350cc moderate saline implants however i had a capsule on my left side so 5yrs later I ended up getting a revision and now have 345/385cc. My nurse recommended the size as when switching from moderate to high the diameter is a bit different but now I feel like my 385cc is noticeably larger and sits a bit lower than the 345cc. Would 30cc to 40cc between my left and right make a difference? I might just be paranoid from my previous experience

Answer: Breast results First, you have very nice breast revision results. Breasts are sisters, not twins. While a 40cc difference is noticeable, it is usually done due to differences seen in the operating room during your surgery. Post capsulectomy for a capsular contracture, the breast pocket gets both larger and looser. This sometimes causes the one breast to either drop lower or have a different shape postoperatively.

Answer: Breast augmentation results Dear LoTay11, Let's start with "Your breasts look great!" Especially in the face of having had a capsular contracture severely enough to require revision. When a contracture has been surgically addressed on you can usually expect a little more laxity (if you will) on that side. Also, it has basically predetermined that there is a 30cc, or so, difference in your breast volumes by your initial breast augmentation. So, yes 30-40cc can make a visible difference, but that's what you needed based on your prior surgery. Finally, we have no idea how long ago your revision breast augmentation was. If it was recent, there will be further settling and new capsule formations that have yet to occur that may further impact your final result. Good luck!
