Since my surgery I’ve noticed that my implants have been asymmetrical, starting from the incisions, it’s clear one cut is higher than the other. I’m a year post opp and my one implant is clearly lower than the other. My surgeon says it’s from pre-existing asymmetry but the one implant is clearly so much lower. I’m so unhappy with this.

Answer: Breast implant revision thank you for posting your question. The volume distribution of the implant is different when comparing the 2 sides. The volume of the right breast is located lower, whereas the volume on your left side is more on the upper pole. The height of the nipple/areola is nearly equal. Depending on which side you prefer, you can either lower the left or elevate the right breast implant. Lowering a breast implant pocket is most of the times easier than rising. In order to achieve symmetry both sides need to be addressed. An improvement seems to be achievable considering your preoperative situation. I hope this helps

Answer: Revision Thanks for your question! Your before photos would be helpful, but I would definitely suggest another opinion. I can't tell from the photos but you may have a capsular contracture on the higher side or you're a little bottomed out on the lower side. Either way, I do think it is fixable.
