Breast augmentation results are uneven - is it fair to be disappointed? (photos)

Hello! Your asymmetry after augmentation may be partially attributed to your asymmetry/anatomy before your surgery. You have have a bit of scoliosis (L shoulder higher than R) and your breast creases may also be a bit uneven (nipple position preop higher than right). This can be corrected during the augmentation within reason; i.e. dropping your fold on the L. You still may be able to revise your augmentation and perform a capsulotomy on the L to drop the implant while performing a small R areolar crescent lift to give you better symmetry. Keep in mind that the nipple position moves in the opposite direction of the implant...as the breast implant comes down the nipple/areola goes up! Good Luck!

Dear nicoleolsen220,
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 or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Hello from Istanbul, I understand your frustration. A potential solution to improve symmetry could be to slightly lower the left intramammary fold. However, this asymmetry is not very pronounced, so if you prefer, you can consider addressing it later in life, especially if you're hesitant about undergoing another surgery at the moment. Best of luck to you.

Thanks for your question! I can see why you are frustrated, but I think it's important to point out a couple of things you may not notice. Your inframammary fold was lower on the one breast than the other even in your pre-op photo. Most importantly though, your shoulders are at a very different height. I wonder if perhaps you have a bit of scoliosis. These things should have been noted prior to surgery. I do think that you could benefit from a capsulorrhaphy on the one side to improve symmetry. Good luck!

From your pre operative photo there is some asymmetry present. In your post op photos it is more noticeable and it appears one implant is placed too high. To improve this appearance surgery to lower the higher implant would be needed.
