Dear Doctors, I recently had my implants removed. I've noticed one breast is larger than the other. I thought it may have been natural asymmetry, but after acquiring my preop (before augmentation) photos I'm not so sure. I met with the nurse a week ago and she thought everything looked fine, but I do not see my PS for a few more weeks. Should I be concerned? I fear seroma though I can't actually feel or see fluid. Thanks in advance!
