My surgeon wants to place an implant in my smaller breast and simply lift my larger breast. I am worried that they are still going to look aysemetric due to one being real and one having an implant. (I know they won't be perfect but) Unfortunately because it will be through the VA hospital and they are covering the cost I get the surgeon that is assigned to me. Can anyone show me before and after pics that may be similar to my situation where a patient only had one implant?

Answer: Breast Lift & Implant Your surgeon's recommended course of action is exactly what I would have suggested. And no, your symmetry won't be perfect. Frankly, no one's is. But I think you will be really happy with your results. Best of luck, Dr. Nazarian

Answer: Severe breast asymmetry First, congratulations on getting your surgery covered as many insurance plans would consider this to be a cosmetic issue and thus not covered. Regarding your surgeon's plan, there are many different options for the correction of your asymmetry. Certainly you need a lift of the larger breast and your scars will be very different as your breasts are starting very different. Your concerns about one having an implant and the other not are valid, and you should discuss this with your surgeon. However, there is no one right or wrong way in which to fix your problem and you will likely get many different opinions about how this should be corrected. Best of luck with your surgery!
