Background: I got a breast aug. and surgeon placed a 110cc size difference without telling me before hand. 2. She revised it and now my L is 295cc and my R 330cc. 3. She won’t fix it and says I’d be hard pressed to find a surgeon who would considering the size difference is so miniscule 4. I can feel a difference and the bigger implant presses on the medial aspect of my chest and hurts. It’s uncomfortable. Can I find a surgeon who would touch this and bring it down to 295cc?

Answer: Revision of larger implant It is possible to revise the larger implant by taking out the 330 cc and reducing it to 295 cc. 35 cc reduction would not make much of a change. What is greater concern to me is that your implants appear to be bottoming out and the nipples are aiming more upward. You may be better off with smaller implants on both side. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Breast Asymmetry Although difficult to say from photos, it does appear that your right side, the side with the 330 still looks bigger than the left side with the 295. Also it does appear that the tuck is lower. The best approach would be to have a capsulorrhaphy on the right side to bring up the tuck and to put a smaller implant on that side as well. Not sure this would help with your discomfort, but from a aesthetic standpoint, you would be more symmetrical. Hope that helps.
