My ps agrees it doesn't look "happy" and will meet me again soon to review. I'm wondering whether it's worth going under the knife or whether it's good enough? I had slight asymmetry to begin with but the right just looks a little weird now, pointing in another direction. Bit fuller up top, unsure if it's higher. Can it be fixed or could I risk it getting worse?

Answer: Revision for mild asymmetry? Based on your photos you have a very nice result. You certainly have some asymmetry, with the right nipple pointing a bit laterally. There are a number of factors which influence nipple position and breast shape after augmentation, some of which are more correctable than others. In your case, your implants appear to be well-positioned and evenly placed. You may have an asymmetry in the shape of your rib cage, a very common situation. If your right rib cage is oriented laterally, it will project the implant laterally, as well. If that is the case, there is no revisionary surgery that will correct it. Keep in mind that every surgery has risks, no matter how minor the procedure may be. If you are talking about very minor potential improvement, the risks of infection, capsular contracture, and anesthetic complications may outweigh the potential benefits.

Answer: Breast augmentation candidate? Far more important than the technique is the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon. Choose your surgeon rather than the technique and let them explain why one technique may be better than another. See the below link on some suggestions on finding the most qualified Plastic Surgeon for a Breast Augmentation. Always insist on a board certified plastic surgeon.
