Visible symmetry issues - BA or Lift? (Photos)

Thanks for your question. It is difficult to provide a proper evaluation without front pictures. I recommend scheduling a consult for a proper evaluation. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Dr. Moises Salama, board certified plastic surgeon.

According to these pictures you have slightly asymmetric breasts. But these pictures not sufficient to make comment. Can you please upload a picture from front?

I would certainly need more photographs to be able to give you advice. Do you have symmetry of volume or shape or droop? It would be helpful to hear you explained your concerns and we could talk about how to approach them. From your side view, it seems you may not need a lift, which would be a wonderful thing for you. It is always nice to avoid visible scars!

Thank you for your inquiry! We would love to sit down with you and review your options. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your goals.

It depends on the tissue measurements including skin stretch and vertical excess. It does appear that you may need an implant with a lift. It is difficult to determine without a physical exam and measurements based on these two profile views.

If you don't like the shape and position of your breasts, do a breast lift. Small asymmetries of size can be adjusted.
If you don't like the size of breasts, then going bigger is easy with breast implants.
If you don't like your size and shape, then combining breast lift with breast implants is probably the best plan. Best Wishes!!

Asymmetry of the breasts is extremely common. Although there are ways to improve symmetry, many times they come at the expense of scars.

When it comes to droopiness of the breasts (called ptosis), there are some women who clearly do not need a lift, those that clearly need a lift, and those in between.

Although difficult to say for sure, you seem to be in between. In these circumstances, adjusting for asymmetry could mean doing an augmentation with or without an implant. In general terms, is you use a smaller implant, it’ll be more difficult to get an aesthetic looking breast with a close cleavage. You can compensate for that by erring on using a larger implant.

As for symmetry, it’ll depend how strongly you feel about it and the trade-off between having scars and symmetry.

Hope this helps, good luck!

Thanks for your inquiry and pictures. A full set of measurements and front picture would be helpful. I believe a lift procedure would help address the ptosis of your breast and can be a useful in creating more symmetry, please seek the opinion of a board certified plastic surgeon and best of luck.

Thank you for your photographs. It appears that your right breast is slightly larger than your left breast. Both breasts appear to have the nipple sitting above the level of your fold under your breast with only a small amount of breast tissue hanging below the fold, so I don’t believe a breast lift is in your best interest. If it is size asymmetry that you’re concerned about, a breast augmentation can help to balance the size difference. A detailed consultation with a plastic surgeon where measurements can be done and volume discrepancy assessed would be in your best interest.

From the side view photos, it appears that you are a breast augmentation candidate. Front photos would be helpful to address the asymmetries.
