I am having surgery in the next month but cannot decide if I should correct or not. Correct the asymmetry I have. If I don't correct, I would be going for 244cc motiva mini which my surgeon has recommended. However, I do have quite an asymmetry that ideally I would like to fix. Should I suggest two different sizes? My surgeon mentioned that with the new implants, my asymmetry would look a lot less with the implants. Is this correct or will the asymmetry still be noticeable?
Answer: Asymmetry While there's no way to guarantee perfect symmetry, using differently sized implants can improve the asymmetry you have. If you do nothing you will have the same amount of asymmetry that you have now. Sometimes it bothers patients more after surgery because they are more focused on the appearance of the breasts than normal because of having augmentation. If you want it corrected this is a great opportunity.

Answer: Asymmetry I would bet that using the next size up implant for the right side can help your asymmetry. It is impossible to make them the same as the foot print of your left breast and chest wall is larger. I find that chasing asymmetries more than two implant sizes can make things worse as you are placing a larger implant into a tighter pocket. I hope this helps. Thank you.

Answer: Assessing asymmetry accurately through photos is quite challenging. To get the most accurate result, a physical examination is necessary. You seem to have different volume between the two breasts. However, generally speaking, if the asymmetry is not very noticeable, new implants can typically reduce the difference significantly and provide a more balanced appearance. Additionally, if the asymmetry is more noticeable, using two different implant sizes could be a good option to achieve better symmetry.

Answer: Correct asymmetry. There should be no reason why you should be concerned about trying to correct your asymmetry. Whatever implant size you have chosen for your larger breast, can be placed first at the time of your surgery. Then an implant sizer can be placed in your smaller breast and inflated until the symmetry is as close as possible. Then your surgeon can place a slightly larger implant in on your right side to give you the best symmetry possible. This procedure only takes a few extra minutes at the time of surgery but is well worth the peace of mind for you, knowing that you are as symmetrical as possible. Best wishes.

Answer: SIze and shape asymmetry Please discuss your concerns with your surgeon. Because they’re more familiar with your situation, they’ll be able to recommend an appropriate solution. Size asymmetry can be resolved with different sized implants, and shape asymmetry may be slightly improved as well. However, your surgeon would be able to let you know by how much it would be improved so that you can determine whether your goals would be achieved.

Answer: Asymmetry and breast augmentation I think it is good to always consider different size implants when dealing with volume asymmetry. Your plastic surgeon, with a precise examination, can usually make a good decision whether different size implants are used. Often the decision is made during surgery with sizers.
