Am I being unrealistic with my results?

Thanks for your question! The fact is that no two breasts are identical. I’m inclined to agree with your surgeon. Your result looks very nice, and I think chasing perfect symmetry could have left you with uneven cleavage or upper pole fullness. Good luck!

Dear Coffeeaddict1010,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine is there something 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.

Good morning,
Now that you have really reached your final results, it does seem that a slightly larger implant on your naturally smaller side would have been a good idea- I find that about 1/3 of patients do need two different sizes.

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. You have a reasonable result with the difference in size based on your starting difference. That said if it bothers you sufficiently you could likely go up in size on the left to better match the right. Hope this helps.

I appreciate your concerns, however your photo demonstrates reasonable symmetry and a very good result. Most women’s breasts are modestly asymmetrical and it can be difficult to attain perfect symmetry with different sized breast implants. I recommend to do nothing at this time and continue to observe your results and reevaluate your situation in 6 to 12 months. Best of luck.

Your after photo is not good and does not show your breasts. Plus, your hand is in the way. Please go back to your surgeon and discuss your concerns. I suspect, you were not even prior to surgery.

All women have breast asymmetry to some degree. The difference in the volume of your breasts is minimal and it appears you have a very nice result. If it is particularly bothersome you could consider using differently sized implants, but from the photos the volume discrepancy does not appear obvious.

It appears that you have had a very good result from your breast augmentation. The asymmetry you are concerned with is not evident in the photo provided.
If you still have concerns, please see another PS in your area for a second opinion.
Best of luck!

Hello! Thank you for your question. Your breast augmentation provided an excellent result! Every woman has some sort of asymmetry, hence why we call them sisters and not twins. Your asymmetry is very minimal, I would have recommended the same thing. When you use different implant sizes the shape can become different thus still resulting in asymmetry. Overall you have a great result! Hope this helps!
