Do photos make asymmetry look worse?

September 10, 2015
Asked By:Timeforachange35 in Long Island, NY

I had breast implants placed in 1999 and explanted with a full anchor lift this past april. I have always been asymmetric before implants, post implants and post explantation. I know that won't change and I am very happy with my natural breasts. When I look at my breasts in the mirror I notice minor asymmetry, but when I take a photo they seem to look very asymmetric. Can a photo make asymmetry look worse in your opinion? Thanks doctors
