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: Mild asymmetry The degree of asymmetry that you have is not very pronounced. The implants will improve the shape of the breasts but not change position of the nipples. Perfection is not attainable.

Answer: Uneven nipple height You are correct most women have asymmetric breasts but a breast augmentation alone will not correct your nipple asymmetry. Your left breast has more ptosis and skin stretch with more breast tissue in the lower part of that breast so an augmentation just will augment your current breasts. Using different size implants can be beneficial in some cases but this will not give you the 'perfect' breasts. You will be disappointed if perfection is what you seek. I do think you will have a great result with a breast augmentation but a lift would help correct your asymmetry to some degree. Best of luck.

Answer: Breast assymetry You are right. Everyone has some degree of asymmetry of the breasts especially if one nipple is higher than the other. You are an excellent candidate for breast implants, but "perfect" symmetry cannot realistically be accomplished. You will however, get a beautiful result if you look past the fact that one nipple is a little higher than the other.

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.
