I had breast augmentation done approximately 8 years ago. One breast is now lower than the other. Should I consult a surgeon about a breast lift for one or both breasts to correct this in the future?

Answer: Changes in your breasts after many years post augmentation Hi and thanks for posting your question. It's difficult to ascertain what is going on without photos or an examination. It would likely be wise of you to seek a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to have an examination of your breast implants. Some of the more common issues women encounter many years out from their initial operation are capsular contracture as well as recurrent breast drooping (or "ptosis") after their augmentation has been done. Your plastic surgeon should be able to help you understand what the cause is and how to go about potentially fixing the problem.Best wishes

Answer: Progressive breast asymmetry following augmentation is not unusual 8 years down the road. Schedule a consultation with your surgeon or other local boarded plastic surgeons and find out what would be best for you. This depends on what side you like better and if you are wanting to be perkier or now. It also depends on whether your folds are level or not and what kind of pockets you have at this point. Your surgeon should be able to go over all the viable options for you from which you can choose from. Don't be surprised if your surgeon suggests you get new implants too.
