My surgeon pointed out that my left breast is slightly smaller than my right. He recommended going with 385cc in my right and 415cc on the left. This is a 30cc difference and it seems kind of a big gap. I'm wondering if I should do 415cc in both I trust my surgeon but when I tried the sizers on I noticed a difference in size. I'm just not sure what to do! I'm fine with my breasts not being PERFECTLY the same size but I would like them pretty close. I would love to hear others opinions. thanks :)

Answer: Trust Trust in your surgeon. Breasts are sisters, not twins. The implant selection should be based on a combination of your desired size, soft tissue dynamics, breast base diameter and skin elasticity. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with. Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach Trained, Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Breast Asymmetry Hello,Thank you for your question and photos. 30cc may sound like a lot but it is essentially 2 tablespoons. This volume, spread out over a whole breast can be quite subtle. Balancing asymmetry with different sizes can be very effective. My patients find it helpful to try on the implant sizers with a form-fitting t-shirt in order to get an idea of how they will look. Sometimes adjusting an asymmetry can feel strange and difficult for the patient to adjust to- even though they appear to be a good match. I recommend that you talk it over again with your Plastic Surgeon and see if using rice sizers at home could be a helpful way to get used to the balance.All the best
