Although admittedly difficult to diagnose with certainty looking at a single photo, you appear to have an asymmetry in your chest wall shape, a common phenomenon most often associated, but not exclusive to, scoliosis. One implant sits in a gutter, the other on a normal rib cage 'platform'.

After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to...
