When getting a breast augmentation, is getting one implant bigger than the other a smart idea? One boob is almost 100 cc different. I did a consulatation and one doctor said he would put one implant about 75cc more than the other one to try to even them out. Another doctor said you can't fix a wrong with a wrong so he will not use two different sizes. I'm torn with what I should do because I want my breast to look even. Is it common to go with two different implant sizes?
Answer: Breast implants of difference sizes can correct asymmetry Great question. I understand your concern and confusion. Everyone has sisters; no one has twins. Using implants of different sizes can help make your breasts look like sisters from the same family. In fact, close to 50 percent of the time I use different size implants.I've taken care of women whose breast size varied by even more than 100 ccs, and they had satisfactory results. Please look at the link below to see before and after photos of women who got different size implants and how their asymmetry has been improved. For more information on this and similar topics, I recommend a plastic surgery Q&A book like "The Scoop on Breasts: A Plastic Surgeon Busts the Myths."

Answer: Asymmetry Without seeing you in person, impossible to give you a truly accurate answer. But it is quite common to use two different implant sizes to help correct pre-op asymmetry. It really depends on the extend of your asymmetry. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Answer: Surgery Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well. I have to say that this depend on each surgeon and also each patient. If your breasts are different sizes, which is completely normal, I would put *on the small breast one size and on the bigger one, another smaller size* that's how it works most of the times. Because when surgeons perform the surgery, we have to try to give the patient almost the same size on both breasts

Answer: Breast asymmetry In my experience, breast asymmetry is very common in patients seeking breast augmentation. In our office we use Vectra 3-D imaging and can try different sizes, shapes and even brands of breast implants to best achieve symmetry.One hundred cc is a lot of difference and in those cases, I would consider a hybrid breast augmentation using the same size implants and fat grafting to the smaller size. Discuss options with your chosen plastic surgeon. Good luck.
