So i forgot to mention to my PS that the right side of my upper body protrudes out more than the left, from my glenoid process, to clavicle, to sternum and ribs, so this makes my right breast look a little bigger in certain bras. Does this mean we'll have to use two different size implants with my BL and BA? Is this common to have?

Answer: My breast bone has different size. What you describe is typical of what we call a pectus excavatum. When the breast bone is misshapen the rib cage will curve out on one side and dip in on the other causing the breasts to appear asymmetric. If the difference is small sometimes an augmentation alone will add sufficient volume to soften the differences, though sometimes a larger implant and maybe a wider implant is best on the "curved in" side. Point out your perception to your surgeon so he can address it.

Answer: Implant size During your consult, your Surgeon probably would have noted the difference if significant. Every woman's breasts are not symmetrical in shape or size and your right breast may not be significantly bigger than the left. If you need re-assurance , make an appointment for a second consult and explain to him or her, your concern.
