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

Question

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?

Dear JackieSss,
breast revision surgery is the most difficult plastic surgery procedure performed. Botched breast surgery alters normal tissue planes and laxity, the ability of breasts to heal properly, and leaves scar tissue that dramatically affects the level of difficulty of the corrective surgery.Many patients come in to correct poor outcomes from their initial surgeries. The most common problems are due to implant malposition, bottoming out of the implant, poor scarring, and incorrect implant size.While the type of revision required will depend on the result of the previous surgery and the desired result of the patient, some revisions involve extensive pocket repair that may or may not need specialized external bras.If you are considering breast surgery revision, you should speak with a board certified plastic surgeon and have yourself properly assessed. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations. Also, you have to make sure that your surgeon understands your breast augmentation goals.

I recommend smooth round implants placed behind the muscle. The smaller breast may need a little larger implant as well. Going behind the muscle will give nice upper breast fullness and avoid the implant edge.
