14 months PO/cohesive gel implants/submuscular placement/ifm incision /325 L, 350 R. I am worried that my left is more round and feels/appears larger than my right. Also I am worried that my right pocket has stretched, or is too big as it slides around in the pocket. I know I need to see my PS, but any insight would be appreciated.

Answer: Asymmetry after breast surgery It is very uncommon for a woman to have two breasts that are exactly the same. Based on the fact that your surgeon chose two different size implants, I assume that you had a notable asymmetry prior to augmentation. I understand your concerns about your breasts being slightly different from one another and only an in-person examination can accurately assess what may be the cause of your concerns, but I would advise you to proceed with caution before choosing to have a revision for these issues. Based on the photos you provided, you have beautiful breasts, and a revision has the potential to worsen rather than improve your asymmetry in addition to all of the other risks of surgery (bleeding, infection, etc.). See your surgeon to discuss your concerns. Best wishes.

Answer: Without preop pics its tough to say much... You do have a small degree of asymmetry but it on the range of asymmetries its fairly mild. Over time the two breasts will do different things and so asymmetries may be more apparent. If you are right handed, for example, you exert different forces on that side than on the other. Talk with your surgeon at least so you have an exam and photos to reference down the road. Good luck.
