Had reduction to fix asymmetry, but still a big difference in size and shape. I also seem to have a lot of side boob. Will a revision easily fix this? Any advice and honest opinions really appreciated. I will attach my before and after photos. Clearly big improvement but still very unhappy. Unfortunately I can’t afford implants as an option.
Answer: Revision Thanks for your question! I suppose more tissue could be removed from the larger breast. That being said, remember that breasts are sisters and not twins. I understand why the difference in size is frustrating, but you should also be enjoying your new, perky breasts. Good luck!

Answer: Revision The larger breast can still be revised to be closer to the other's size. Your surgeon was trying to make sure enough tissue was kept to keep your nipples alive. Please discuss your concerns with your surgeon. Liposuction might be helpful to remove excess lateral fullness as well. It is doubtful that insurance will cover this revision, because the revision would be cosmetic.

Answer: Asymmetry As you mentioned there is a significant improvement with asymmetry, but some does remain. For improvement you will need to consider further surgery to reduce the larger breast to better match the smaller one. I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon.
