I am 9 months post op. I had transaxillary incision. 220 cc silicone in both breasts. The right one has obvious asymmetry. I don’t have any pain and no noticeable difference in firmness between the two breasts but wonder if capsular contracture is the reason for why my right breast is not dropping and looks misshapen. Or is it the pocket needed to be dissected further? Would a slightly larger cc in the right breast help even out assymetry? Or try ASPEN? Other recommendations for revision? Thanks.
Answer: Implants Your right side is sitting higher, so it could be lowered to match the left. You may need a different incision for this procedure.

Answer: Assymmetry after breast augmentation Capsular contracture is a common cause of asymmetry after breast augmentation. It can cause asymmetry alone or asymmetry with discomfort. The treatment for capsular contracture usually varies depending on severity and if it's recurrent or the first time it's happened.

Answer: 9 months I would wait a full year before considering any revisionary procedure. if you had a short inferior pole or smaller lower pole, a transaxillary approach makes setting the nipple to breast fold distance quite challenging.
