Hello! I am in love with my augmentation however I do have concerns. Prior my surgery, I did have asymmetry. Nothing too major. And of course after my procedure it enhanced the asymmetry even more. I received 405 moderate profile in both breast, however, the right breast is higher than the left which is also resulting in less cleavage. What can be done? Should I go a size down in the higher breast? Thanks!
