Is it worth getting a revision to bring left breast towards the centre more? (Photos)

Asked By:JillEight in Kilsby, England, United Kingdom
This is my second augmentation, I am not happy with the position of the left breast. I feel it is slightly to the side and isn’t sitting as central as the right. They are under the muscle, my left muscle was definitely tighter than the right, could this be why? Is it possible to rectify with a third surgery (I am not against choosing a smaller implant) or would the results be minimal and not justify another surgery? I feel the lateral position makes me look wider in clothes which isn’t aesthetically pleasing to me. I wanted a subtle look so I chose low/moderate profile, could the excess lateral position be rectified by choosing high profile?

Dear Nadia_,
I almost always place implants submuscular. It lowers the rate of capsular contracture significantly. In addition, it looks much more natural because the muscle provides covering over the implant so its not as round on the top. I've also noticed the implants drop less over time...
