Will they look symmetrical after breast implants alone?

Question

Im 5'5 , 105lbs. Currently im a Deflated B from being pregnant and breast feeding. One side has drooped more then the other. Im going to get 350cc round Ultra High Profile subfacial implants.(Hoping for a DD) Is there any chance they will look almost the same. Or atleast both the nipples pointing the same direction? Will i get a good outcome with implants alone?

Your asymmetry is mild, and let me assure you that most women have some asymmetry. Implants are going to increase your volume and re-inflate your breast tissue, but even if you choose two different sizes, there will still be some differences. A minor lift will help to minimize any differences in volume and nipple position. Good luck!

Thank you for sharing your questions and photograph.  Implants alone are used to increase the overall size/volume of a woman's breasts but can not be used to appreciably change their shape or nipple position.  Though breast size differences can be improved upon by using different size implants in your right and left breasts, a breast lift would be needed to adjust the other differences mentioned in your narrative. Hope this helps.

In fact sometimes implants magnify the asymmetry. Not a fan of subfascial implants so I really hope you have done your homework and have visited with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good Luck and update us please!

Hello, if your breasts are a different size and have asymmetrical nipples, implants alone may not correct these issues.  It is important to discuss your expectations with your surgeon so they can help you weigh the pros and cons of implants alone, versus implants plus a breast lift.  I find that the majority of my patients with modest asymmetry would prefer to have implants alone rather than accept the scars associated with a breast lift, but each person is unique.

Far more important than the technique
is the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon. Choose your surgeon rather
than the technique and let them explain why one technique may be better than
another.

Greetings Stacy. There are several asymmetries in the breasts photo you posted. The size, the nipple position and the rib cage being wider. Some of these differences will be better, but not all. Breast implants can improve but not perfect breast asymmetry. Best, Dr. Aldo

Riccardo Frati, MD · Answer

You will need two different implants with different size and a nipple lift / uplift to the left breast to be able to improve the symmetry although it is impossible to guarantee that both breasts will look the same but an improvement can be achieved by using different sizes and also by having a left nipple lift

Theodore Nyame, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. I would discuss this with your surgeon. His operative plan will have the biggest impact on the eventual symmetry of your breast. If you have not already done so I would also discuss the option for a lifting procedure. Best wishes Theodore T Nyame M.D.

Brooke R. Seckel, MD, FACS (retired) · Answer

Unfortunately breast implants can make normal breast asymmetries more noticeable.  If you want to achieve the best symmetry possible then consider a lift of the lower breast in addition to breast implants.  For more information please read below:
