Breasts asymmetrical after surgery: How could my Plastic Surgeon have messed up?

User Avatar

I had a breast reduction in February. My left breast was bigger than the right one. The Plastic Surgeon knew this - or maybe he forgot? My breast size was a 36DD, and I am small framed. After the surgery I am now a 34C which is awesome, however, the left breast is still a lot bigger than the right one. The doctor said in a year from surgery he can do some revisions but I will have to pay for it. Shouldn't he have gotten it right in the first place? Why do I have to pay again for his mistake?
