Answer: Breast asymmetry Dear madisonvvvl, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like your asymmetry is minor so different size implants might be a good choice. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Lift Implants can improve size symmetry. Based on your photo, a lift may be better suited since it appears that the right nipple (in the photo) is lower than the left. A lift could bring it up a bit to even it out.

Answer: My Recomendation Dear madisonvvvl, thanks for sharing your pictures and concerns implants sizes selection are maybe the difficult step in this process, I do suggest to take a sit with your surgeon and talk about it, discuss your desires and listen his or her recommendation about, in order to meet your expectations. However it is impossible to pick or recommend style, shape or sizes without an in person consultation, that provide the chance to get the measurement of key breast parameters. Make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and best of lucks. Dr. Luis Mejia

Answer: Breast Reduction revision with Implants or not? You raise an excellent question. I would recommend you discuss your options with your surgeon or another Plastic Surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons. You have the option to merely revise the larger breast by removing breast tissue strategically. This would mean your breasts would remain the same size and look as your smaller one. If you choose to move forward with breast augmentation, I would recommend that you make sure you are 100% Sure you want to enlarge your breasts. No matter what size implant you choose your breasts will be enlarged. If you choose that approach your surgeon can remove the extra breast tissue on the larger side and then use the same size implants. And also remember that breast implants have maintenance and that they will typically not last a lifetime. Bottom line is, I recommend you and your surgeon discuss both possibilities. Good luck!
