Uneven results after breast augmentation - should I consider a revision?

Question

I had a breast augmentation with 330cc moderate implants. I like my results overall, but my left breast seems “off”. It doesn’t look centered like my right breast. Is this because of my anatomy to begin with, or should I ask my surgeon for a revision? I would like to know your opinion before asking my surgeon.

Kevin Tehrani, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question and posting appropriate pictures. While your results are very good, there is a slight asymmetry resulting from your preoperative anatomy. For patients seeking perfection like yourself there are minor revisions necessary which could be done under local anesthesia on your left breast. Alternatively, you may opt to have a non-surgical ASPEN ultrasound treatment to relax the capsule to provide a similar result.

Dear Julie52685,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Your right breast footprint is more lateral on the chest wall at baseline. Your surgeon should have discussed this with you extensively preoperatively. There is nothing wrong with your outcome in my professional opinion.

Douglas Taranow, DO, FACOS · Answer

Your preoperative photos show that your right breast was more lateral and the rib curvature is asymmetrical (all very common issues).  Your results are very nice, though you do have wide cleavage (which may not be able to be improved with a revision...a physical exam would answer this).
Best wishes.
Dr. Taranow

I tend to be upfront and direct with these real self questions.

Your results are great. You have intrinsic asymmetry and you doctor did a fine job.

Don't get caught by boob envy.  Enjoy your figure.
