I had a breast augmentation 18 months ago. They were drastically uneven at 3 months post op. I was told they should even out over time and to wear a compression band to help push the higher one down. I did. They’re still not close to even. It’s noticeable when wearing a tight shirt. The surgeon said there is no contracture. Is this a satisfactory result? It seems the left implant doesn't have as much room to move around. Is it possible the pocket on the left side needs to be enlarged?

Answer: Breast surgery You have a small amount of asymmetry. Some patients would be okay with it and some would not. I think it’s reasonable to drop the high implant half an inch since it’s such a minor procedure that would take less than an hour

Answer: Implan revision Thank you for your question. You are right that your breasts are uneven with your right breast lower than your left. This was apparent in your preoperative pictures as well as your right breast fold is slightly lower than your left. In performing the breast augmentation, this is put under a magnifying glass and appears to be worsened. While lowering, the left breast is an option, the better and safer option is to actually raise the right breast. This can be done by raising the breast fold and can be further supported with an internal mesh bra. Good luck.
