I'm looking for an implant that will be more closely matched with right breast. History of breast cancer and reconstruction on the left breast
Answer: Can the profile of implants be changed after breast reconstruction? If you are unhappy with the shape or symmetry of your implants after breast reconstruction, you may be interested in an implant exchange +/- fat grafting. Another important consideration for women with a history of breast cancer and radiation is whether or not there is an evidence of capsular contracture that could be a contributing factor for the asymmetry. If this is the case, the procedure plan should include release of capsular contracture as well.

Answer: Revision surgery Dear victor, breast revision surgery is the most difficult plastic surgery procedure performed. Botched breast surgery alters normal tissue planes and laxity, the ability of breasts to heal properly, and leaves scar tissue that dramatically affects the level of difficulty of the corrective surgery.Many patients come in to correct poor outcomes from their initial surgeries. The most common problems are due to implant malposition, bottoming out of the implant, poor scarring, and incorrect implant size.While the type of revision required will depend on the result of the previous surgery and the desired result of the patient, some revisions involve extensive pocket repair that may or may not need specialized external bras.If you are considering breast surgery revision, you should speak with a board certified plastic surgeon and have yourself properly assessed. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations. Also, you have to make sure that your surgeon understands your breast augmentation goals.

Answer: Very acceptable result I must disagree with you. Reconstruction of breast after cancer can offer a breasts mound and similar appearances. But to think exact matching or symmetry is possible that is very unlikely. Your result can be improved but only more surgery can offer that option.
