One breast is higher and bigger than the other. Did the surgeon take too much tissue out? (Photo)

Asked By:Nelly222 in Carlow, IE

I originally had my right breast bigger than my left. The surgeon told me she was going to extract some of the mammary tissue from the larger one so they could be symmetrical. (I got a lift and 295 cc silicone implants.) After the surgery, my larger breast (the one she took tissue out of) looks smaller and dropped faster Now the smaller one is larger, and the larger one is smaller. Is this due to swelling, or did the surgeon take too much tissue out?
