You'll need a neo-subpectoral pocket and hope for the best. People are going to want what they want. So, as long as you know it may not improve much, and may worsen despite the effort, then I suppose you can move forward.
700 cc implants will make the symmastia worse. Your breasts are not round because the weight of the implants is pulling your skin down. You would be better off with smaller implants to make the breasts rounder and decrease the chance of symmastia.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
