Why are my breast implants asymmetrical? (Photo)

Question

I had a breast augmentation in late July of 2021. I have been very patient with my recovery process, however, I feel as if my left breast never dropped and my right one dropped "too much". Is it still possible for them to look more even or will I have to do revision surgery?

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

At six months post op your implants are unlikely to change significantly.  Correction to bring the implants into better symmetry would involve surgery.  I encourage you to return to your surgeon to discuss your options.

Good afternoon,
Your asymmetry can really only be corrected with surgery- which would include raising your low implant and lowering your high implant so that they meet at a happy place in the middle!

Thank you for your question. It is difficult to determine the cause of this asymmetry without an in-person examination. You should discuss this with your surgeon. I wish you the best of luck. Vasileios Vasilakis, MD. Double board-certified, fellowship-trained plastic surgeon, Houston. TX.

Dear sofy97,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Perhaps external ultrasound treatments could help soften the tighter side. Otherwise, you will need surgery to lower that implant.
