Asymmetrical Breasts Due to Breast Reduction

29ForeverFeb 4, 2009
I have breasts that are completely asymmetrical as a result of a breast reduction. The right nipple is 2cm too high and the shape of both is unnatural. Is there a surgeon who's experienced in complex breast reduction revision cases?
