Answer: Breast revision
I agree you need revision of your breasts to achieve symmetry. Switching to high profile implants will probably only make a slight difference in upper pole fullness and might not be worth the cost of new implants if your surgeon feels your implants can be reused.

Answer: Implants to increase upper pole fullness.
Thank you for the question and photos! I hope that these answers help you! I do agree that you have some asymmetry between your two breasts along with a difference in size. I do not totally agree that changing the profile of your implants will completely meet your desires. Changing implant profile will serve to increase the projection of your breasts and have minimal, if any, change in upper pole fullness.
The most important determinant for breast implants is the breast width. Matching an implant to fit correctly for you breast will give you the best aesthetic results. Since you do appear to have a very long torso, it may be difficult to get an implant to accomplish this for you, unless you used very large implants. Other options may including raising your fold during your revisionary procedure, or performing a small lift or some fat grafting to the upper pole to ameliorate this issue. Evaluation and examination by a plastic surgeon will help to assist you in determining which procedure(s) may be the right one(s) for you. Best of luck!
