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: Should I get two different implant sizes to even out the difference in my breast or get the same size implants? I appreciate your question.

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: It is very common for me to use different implant sizes in women with different breast sizes. Many women don't realize it, but asymmetry is the norm, not the exception. If one breast is noticeably larger than the other, of course, you need different implant sizes, and I would go with the surgeon who recommended different sizes. The only caveat is that different sized implants will not correct asymmetrical sagging. So if your larger breast is also saggier than your smaller breast (and this is often the case when there is a substantial size difference), you may need to consider a breast lift. Usually I perform the lift on both sides, but with more breast tissue and skin removal on the larger side and greater upward movement of the nipple. This is illustrated in the breast lift section of my website. I've attached a link.

Answer: Yes, very common. Without an examination in person, or at least some photos, it is difficult to give you precise information or advice. That being said, purely based on your question, there is nothing "wrong" with you or your breasts. Size differences are more the rule than the exception and we often use different size implants in breast enhancement, just as in breast reduction we often reduce different amounts. Make sure you are confident with your plastic surgeon and his or her results. Best set of luck to you.
