I have scoliosis, which caused my breasts to look uneven. Once I fix my spine, will breast implants even out my breasts? (photo)

Asked By:kgriego in San Diego, CA

Due to my curvature and twist of my scoliosis, I have a rib bump. This causes one of my breast to have a larger nipple and be slightly more stretched out, while the other side is somewhat sunken in. Once the surgery is done and my rib cage is even again I feel they too will be somewhat more even, but I know the stretched skin and nipple will not go away, and in fact will probably worsen. Will breast implants even this out?
