From beginning I had issues with right BA originally wanted 2 different size implants, 250cc in left b/225 cc in right b. Dr. advised against IT. I paid for sizer bcuz I was Sure the different cc would look better. During surgery dr. chose to go with matching cc. right B feels harder, tighter and it sticks out further than the left b. I see minor rippling in the cleavage area of the right breast and it has always looked unnatural compared the the left b. He keeps brushing off my concerns.

Answer: Breast augmentation revisionary surgery to correct rippling and asymmetry? I am sorry to hear about your concerns after breast surgery. Although I cannot provide you with specific advice, some general thoughts may be helpful to you.Palpability and rippling of breast implants may be related to several factors. These include the amount of soft tissue and breast tissue coverage over the breast implants, the position of the breast implants (submuscular versus sub glandular), the type of implants (saline versus silicone), and the degree of overfilling of saline filled implants. Generally, weight loss will extension weight any rippling/palpability of the implants. Deflation of the implants will also increase the rippling/palpability of the implants. Correction of the rippling may involve further surgery including implant pocket exchange if possible (sub glandular to submuscular), implant exchange if possible (saline to silicone), and/or the use of allograft to provide an additional layer of tissue between the implant and the patient's skin. In-person consultation with board-certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience helping patients with this type of revisionary breast surgery will be your next best step. Best wishes.

Answer: BA results Dear amarama,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
