Breasts are differing size and shape - is it possible to make the shapes more similar? (photos)

Question

I had augmentation and a lift around 25 years ago to correct severe asymmetry. I had another surgery in 2016, then again in 2019 to correct the placement of the left implant. I’m still unhappy with the differing size and shape. Is it possible to make the shapes more similar, or is this the best I can hope for? The right has a very round, stuck-on, high up appearance, I guess due to the lack of real breast tissue?

Hi, I think one option is a lift on the left with a higher profile implant. If the right has smaller amount of breast tissue you can reduce the amount on the left so that the implant itself will dictate more of the shape as the right does. Good luck.

Dear Optimistic2872
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Thank you for your question.  I think the answer can be found in your question.   You’ve had multiple attempts to get your breasts symmetrical without success. I doubt any further surgery would help with the shape of your breasts.  As far as the size, perhaps fat grafting the smaller side would be of benefit.   It is always difficult to make breasts perfectly symmetrical especially when they start out so different.
