My left breast is larger and the nipple is lower than my right. I understand that most women have asymmetrical breasts but I would like mine to be "perfect". Is there a way to correct size and/or nipple height w/ implants alone? Is there something that can be done post op that can address the nipple issue? Should I massage the left (higher nipple) to make it drop more than the right?

Answer: How can uneven nipple height be corrected with implants? Implants alone cannot correct the asymmetry. A variation of a lift on the left side would be necessary to get closer to symmetry. It is important to be realistic about the outcome of any surgery and if you really expect the result to be "perfect", I would suggest that you not undergo any surgical procedure because you will ultimately be disappointed, since improvement is possible but perfection is not achievable.Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any

Answer: Asymmetric breasts are normal Thanks for your question and photo. From what I can see on your photo, you would do very well with a great augmentation alone. You would still have some minor asymmetries between the two sides which is completely normal. The only way to try and lift the left side would be through a mastopexy (lift) at the same time. You appear to have tight skin with nipples in a good position, so this may be difficult at the time of implant placement. You could consider augmentation with a delayed "crescent" or peri-areolar lift. No surgeon can guarantee a "perfect" result, so you really need to have an in-depth conversation with your surgeon to avoid disappointment postoperatively. Good luck.
