Will adding internal sutures on one breast make the pocket smaller to make breast more symmetrical?

Question

I had my first BA 11 years ago.they were 440r 460L. I had a child & my boobs just got so stretched out. More so my right. I decided to get an upgrade. The PS said since I had so much loose skin id need internal sutures. I wanted to do silicon gel & go bigger. We decided 800 would be good cause lots loose skin. surgery was yesterday & my right boob looks WAY bigger than my left. Do you think it's the swelling or because the same size Impalant was used when one " boob" was bigger than the other?

Hello,Unfortunately, you will need to be seen.  Like many surgeons hearing your description, I am in disagreement with your surgeon's surgical decision making process to use enormous implants to somehow 'fix' the skin excess problem. A photo of your results are not posted, but I am fairly certain that a capsulorrhaphy (internal sutures) will not help, and may only make your problem worse.It probably behooves you to have a few second opinion consultations with ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons that specialize in revision breast surgery. Best of luck!

to have done the right thing... you will get implant cards down the road showing what implants were used in your procedure.  If there are things not right, you can only sit tight and finish the recovery process before considering any other options or revisions.  Your photos are too far way to see your breasts and appreciate your concerns.  So trust your surgeon to do the right thing for you as your surgeon should share the desire for a best outcome  with you as its a reflection of his/her work.  The differences you mentioned should be even smaller as your implants get larger.

I am sorry but it is too difficult to provide you with an honest answer unless I saw better pictures (and pictures from most recent surgery).  In general however, you need to give yourself some time (a few months at minimum) before you can see more of what your end result will look like.  Best of luck to you

The photo is too far away to see what you are talking about. Best to review this issue in person. Good luck.

Please repost with current pictures.  Your plastic surgeon is your best source now to accurately answer your concerns and properly treat you, If you have questions or you think one is way bigger than the other, please notify your plastic surgeon.  Best wishes.
