Will a larger implant in the right help to correct my asymmetry? (Photo)

JackieSssJun 21, 2023
250cc Ergonomix Joy implants 7 months ago after breastfeeding. I’m not happy with the result: left is fuller/rounder & rights lower with no upper pole fullness, this side also moves more when lying down & left stays in place. Since the surgery we’ve looked back at my pre op pics & only now he’s pointed out an asymmetry & has suggested I may need to have a larger implant in the right or new firmer silicone implants to achieve upper pole fullness. Will this correct the asymmetry?

Pocket contouring is a reasonable approach to try to improve implant positioning whether it is lateral malposition or inferior malposition or even medial malposition. The problem with just pocket contouring without reinforcement (mesh) is that the correction will likely not be long term and you...

Dear Ttrinh793, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Both options sound good, so you should decide the best way to approach your issues. If your symptoms are minor, then your breasts can stay this way. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified...
