I had my breast augmentation just over a year ago. Now that they’ve settled, they are completely uneven - one breast causing pain since it sits lower on my rib cage and it’s very unflattering that they are so uneven. My surgyn never mentioned them being asymmetrical until after saying that this was the best and she can’t make they more symmetrical. I understand that no two boobs are the same but they look bad at this point. What happened? How can I fix?

Answer: Adding support may help Hi there! It can be hard to tell from photos if one breast is too high, the other too low, or a little of both. Breast implants can sit high due to scar tissue formation, which also would make that side more firm. If the situation is more that one breast has bottomed out, that may be from stretching of the connective tissue. A good fix in these situations is to add an internal mesh to support the implant Hope this helps!

Answer: Revision breast surgery Hello, Thank you for the question. I'm sorry to hear that you are unhappy with your results. Based on your photos, you do appear to have asymmetry present with right breast implant being lower positioned on the chest wall than the left breast implant. This may be corrected by performing revision breast surgery on the right side during which we would elevate the breast fold and reinforce it with internal mesh bra, in order for the right breast implant to be higher positioned on the chest wall and more symmetric with the left breast implant. I suggest that you also discuss your questions and concerns with your Plastic Surgeon or a board-certified Plastic Surgeon specializing in Breast Surgeries. I hope this helps.
