I am 6 months after surgery. I was A cup and had 400 cc round implants. After 2 weeks I notice that my left breast is more puffed, bigger and little lower-maybe more settled. After 6 months, for sure my right breast much more settled, but I m still uneasy with that left breast. My surgeon said that if i want, after year I can do revision and get 410cc in that "smaller"!... Here are my photos and I wanna know if my surgeon failed and had to choose different implant sizes.
Answer: Breast asymmetry after breast implants Hello, thank you for your question. You look great! Congratulations on the new change. I appreciate the slight fullness of the left areola but in your before pictures your left breast is naturally fuller to start with. We always have patients think that after a breast augmentation one side is now larger, but actually we all have asymmetries of the breast tissue to start and this can be emphasized more when they are enlarged. The implant position looks good. Speak to your plastic surgeon about your concerns see what they may suggest.

Answer: Different sizes Thank you for your question. Looking at the photos you have provided I do believe your breasts are different. Your creases are slightly off, the one breast looks slightly bigger then the other side pre operatively. Therefore if they used the same size implant on both sides you would still be off. If it's bothersome you could definitely try to correct sizing with adding a slightly larger implant to one side. I would suggest speaking with your surgeon in detail and following their recommendations. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Implants Your preop photo shows that one breast is somewhat larger, so it will still be larger with the same size implants in both.

Answer: Different implant sizes I think the main issue is not necessarily implant size here but perhaps you didn't notice the difference in your breasts before surgery. It looks as if you had an excellent surgical result but your two breasts are different as they were before surgery. Your left breast sits lower on your chest, points a little more towards the outside than your right breast and also has a little more "softness" to it--not true droop but a little softer and the final point is the left breast is a little wider than your right breast. It is impossible to correct all of these asymmetric features with an implant. Now, could you have a bigger implant on the right. I think so; but you have to be careful because sometimes the volumes can be closer to each other when you use different implants BUT your right breast looks a little more perky and it is more narrow and putting a larger implant in the right, while perhaps giving you closer size, may actually make things worse because it could look a lot more perky than your left breast. So sometimes I will accept the natural asymmetry and put the same implants in both breasts because I am afraid if I use a bigger one in the naturally smaller, more narrow breast it looks too perky compared to the left. And now for some math. Let's say that there is a 50cc difference between your breasts before surgery and just for argument that the total volume of your breasts is 500 cc. So the right is 500 and the left is 550. So that is a 10% difference in size. BUT, after the implants the volume is 900 cc on the right and 950 cc on the left--that is now only about 5.0%. So half the difference.
