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 treated with different volumes There is definitely asymmetry that you will notice more after surgery if you do not address it will more volume on the smaller side. This is much easier to accomplish with saline implants.

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

Answer: Asymmetry? Is it necessary to have two different sized implants on my chest? Thank you for your question. It is hard to tell from the pictures on how much asymmetry you have, if you trust your doctors opinion then I would discuss in great detail with them if you still have reservation about it. I will sometimes use two different sizes to compensate for asymmetry. As your doctor said to you, there is no guarantee that it will make your breast completely symmetrical, I always say breasts are sisters not twins. However, there is a chance using different sizes can even out the symmetry, 25cc isn't that big of difference where it would make the best that is smaller now a lot larger when done.Like I said before, please discuss this in further detail with your PS.

Answer: Asymmetry you should have a second consultation with a physician who uses 3-D modeling software such as the Vectra system.this will allow you to accurately determine whether or not 25 mL will make a difference to your overall appearance. Furthermore the Vectra system allows you to analyze the volume

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.
