I got a breast augmentation. The surgeon during the consult recommends a 25cc difference in size, which I agreed to. After the surgery was over I was shocked to find out that she placed 110cc size difference. I feel they are very lop sided and never agreed to this. I am 5’10, had very little breast tissue to begin with (34A). She placed 295cc on L, 405cc on R using Natrelle soft touch. Is it possible to reduce the right side to a 300 or 325 without a lift? I’ve never had children or breastfed.

Answer: Reduce my implant size on one breast without a lift
Many surgeons do try sutures first if there is enough tissue to work with and the implant is not too large. First, there is less foreign material inside and less risk of a thick capsule forming. Second, it avoids the extra cost of mesh. He probably has done surgeon long enough to know when mesh...
You can switch to subglandular if you have enough breast tissue to hide the implant. the submuscular position carries the lowest risk of capsule formation. You might try subfascial if you have little upper breast tissue, but still you won't have as much coverage.
Don't go larger. You are having some bottoming out now so you will not support larger implants. Try to lose some weight. Larger is heavier on your neck and shoulders and will stretch your own tissue more.
