Dear 88888777,

I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is 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.

It is challenging to make any official recommendations without a physical exam/ultrasound in person. It appears that the right implant is too narrow and the pocket is too wide that was dissected. It appears that the left is almost too wide of a diameter implant. There also may be early capsular contracture on the left side. I would recommend removing the implants and placing new ones below the muscle on both sides with or without Galaflex. You may need capsulectomies if there is capsular contracture. I would see a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in revisionary/secondary breast surgery.

Hello,
Thank you for the question. From the photos, it appears that the implants are well-positioned, and the asymmetries are due to your natural breasts, i.e. the implants revealed existing asymmetries.
I wish you the best.

Based on the photos you submitted, I would say that it appears like one of your implants (looks like your left side in the pictures) may have descended more inferiorly than the other side. It would be helpful to compare your "after" pictures to your "before" pictures to see if this is due to pre-existing asymmetries in the position of the areolas and/or inframammary fold, or if the implant has simply dropped just a little more. It would also be helpful to know if the implants are silicone/saline and on top of or underneath the muscle. Overall you have a very nice aesthetic result!

Based on posted photos yes there is slight asymmetry, but I assume you were asymmetrical preoperatively???? Best to virtual consult to discuss
