I had breast augmentation with 650cc silicone implants and a donut lift a little over 10 months ago. My left breast still hasn't dropped. It is firmer than the right one but the implant does move around within the pocket. Do I need corrective surgery? My surgeon says that although they don't look the same, nothing is wrong in the left breast. I hate the way it looks!

Answer: Breast and nipple asymmetry You appear to have a difference in the height of the nipples as well as a difference in the height if the implants.Even a perfect positioning of the implants won't correct a difference in nipple height.Many patients want to avoid breast lift incisions at any cost, and sometimes end up with differences in nipple height that a different lift technique would correct.The around-the-areolar lifts are weaker than anchor type lifts. Often, changing the lift type when the revision is done helps a great deal.While very large implants are to an extent a stylistic choice, they do tend to create problems over time, so when the revision is done is a good time to see if there is a better sized implant that would achieve your goals

Answer: Breast asymmetry Yes, you have breast asymmetry and it is always nice to see what they looked like before they were operated on. Good luck with your potential future surgery.
