I had my breast augmentation with gel silicone under the muscle in April 2018. I noticed not too long after that my cleavage & nipples were not even. My right breast sits lower & more towards my sternum than my left. I have slight tenting as well. Is this the doctors error? How should I have it repaired?

Answer: Breast augmentation From you photos you appear to have symmastia. To correct this you will need a revision. Most likely smaller implants and repair of the symmastia.

Answer: Uneven Breasts at 10 Months Thank your for your question and photos. You have several observable asymmetries. The right breast implant seems to sit at both a higher and lower level on the right side. It also show lateral displacement of the nipple. In effect, the right breast just looks bigger. Without an in-person examination and knowing what you looked like before, and exactly what was done during surgery, any answer is pure speculation. It looks as though the implant pocket was different on the two sides with greater release of the muscle on the right side. It also looks as though the footprint of the implants are different. Careful review of the medical records could provide an answer of why this occurred. You might also benefit from an ultrasound to rule out a seroma. What can be done is complicated. you will likely need to correct the symmastia of the right breast and possibly change the implant to more closely match the left side. A logical question is what does your doctor say. If they say this is normal or desirable, it's not. Persist in your desire to correct this problem. If you seek a second opinion, make sure that you have copies of your pre-operative photos and medical record that reflect the operative details. Best of luck!
