Visible symmetry issues - BA or Lift? (Photos)

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. It is easier to compare the symmetry when both breasts are in the photo but it seems like one may be larger than the other. If size is your primary concern, the larger breast can be made smaller to achieve your goal and a lift may not be needed. Speak with your board certified plastic surgeon to make a plan together.

All breasts are asymmetrical before and after any surgery. Symmetry can be improved, especially in a bra or clothing.

Without front photos, you appear to be a good candidate for breast augmentation without lift. In my experience, dual plane (half under, half over msucle) will restore breast fullness and give the appearance of a lift without one.

An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon is recommended to confirm you are a candidate as well as discuss your options and expectations.

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!!

Thank you for the photos. Based on what we can see from these images, an implant alone can likely achieve your goals, without the lift. If you do a vectra 3D analysis, you can see how implants alone versus a lift can affect the final shape

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!
