Would it be reasonable to surgically raise one IMF during a breast augmentation?

Asked By:beaniebaby65 in Los Angeles, California

If there is a minor discrepancy between the height/levels of both IMFs, would it be reasonable to surgically raise one IMF during a breast augmentation? Is the benefit of achieving a slight improvement in symmetry worth the potential risks of doing such a procedure during a BA? What might those potential risks be? Is this a common procedure to perform during a BA? Thanks so much in advance.
