I want to ask if it is necessary to do two different sizes implant(silicon)on my chest. The dr. said that my left appears slightly fuller than my right. He asked if it bothered me and if it did he recommends adding an extra 25CC to the right side. I asked if it will be even after &he said that there's a chance that the right might end up a little larger.. Do u think I should just stick to one size? I mean I never really noticed it being uneven but I'll let you be the judge!

Answer: Asymmetry Thank you for your question. To some extent, all woman have a certain amount of asymmetry in breast size. In some cases the asymmetry is so minor that the size implants do not need to be different. Without performing a physical exam, a true determination cannot be made. If you are not comfortable with what your surgeon has advised, you can always get a second opinion. Scheduling a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to answer your questions and perform the physical exam may put your mind at ease.Best regards,Dr. Lane F.

Answer: Different size implants Thank you for your question and post. Without a physical exam it is hard to determine the difference in size. I would trust your surgeon. A 25cc difference is barely noticeable. You will likely have a great result. Your breasts appear symmetric from the photos.Silicone implants of differing sizes have different base widths. It will only be 1-2 mm difference if the volume difference is only 25cc.Good luck with your upcoming surgery!- Dr Bryson Richards
