My breast are clearly not even. One side is fuller than the other and sits slightly different as well. My doctor does not think I need different sizes - says surgical methods can correct most if not all the asymmetry. But I worry the unevenness will just be much more magnified if same sized implants are used. Am I worrying for nothing? Or do my breasts definitely require two different sized implants to make them even? Help please!

Answer: Breast augmentation Hello and thank you for your question. You are a great candidate for a breast augmentation. If you trust your surgeon, then follow their recommendations for implant selection, as they have examined you in person and can tell much more about your asymmetry than can be determined from your images. The size, profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Should I have two different sized implants? It's difficult to tell from your photos, whether the size difference requires two different sized implants. It's important to know that small differences in volume are even less noticeable after placement of implants. I would say that you could go either way and use the same, or two different sized implants. Speak with your surgeon about your concerns.
