Why do my implants look different from each other in ct scans? (photo)

Question

Going on two years post-op from a revision, and was wondering if there is any other reason an implant might look different from another in shape and size on a CT scan other than the implants being two different sizes?

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

Since your implants are not the same size, they will not look the same on CT scan.  However, they both look fine.

Mats Hagstrom, MD (license on probation) · Answer

Your body is not symmetrical, and most women have their left breast, sitting higher on the chest wall than the right side.
If the implants do not sit perfectly lined up in the horizontal plane, then they will look different on a CT scan, which makes perfect horizontal slices.
To me, they look normal.
Best,
Matt Hagstrom MD
