Currently in the process of trying to have a BA in the next 3 months. I have some asymmetry on my right it’s slight bigger than my left. I was trying to avoid a lift by doing 2 differen sized implants
Answer: Breast lift Thanks for your question! I think that some of this depends on your goals. If you are okay with the one areola being larger and a little lower on the breast mound, I think you could try and avoid it for now. However, you should keep it in mind that at some point, you will likely need a breast lift on the droopier breast. Good luck!

Answer: Hello You will need BA with different sizes, but also you will need different work in your breas, one nipple it’s bigger than the other, so you need PABL in that side to make more similar your breast

Answer: Implants alone vs lift as well Hello and thank you for your question! It appears to me that your right breast has mild tuberous breast deformity, which is apparent in the blunted angle of the medial/inner portion of the breast, high-riding inframammary fold (IMF) position and the tubular shape and larger areola. This is unique set of anatomical differences that in my practice, requires a periareolar (around the areola) incision to control and reduce the size of the areola and in some cases raise it slightly. The IMF position may need to be lowered on the right side along with radial scoring performed (special incisions on the inside of the lower portion of the breast tissue to allow the constricted base to spread open). Sometimes asymmetric implants or the addition of fat grafting is needed to help improve the symmetric between the two sides. My best advice is to see a board certified plastic surgeon who can help develop a plan for the tuberous breast asymmetry after an in person exam and consultation!

Answer: Can make it happen Hello, Thank you for your question. It can work, yes. As long as you are ok with some asymmetry after surgery, especially with the areola size/location. The breast size difference can be reduced by choosing different size/profile implants if needed. Make sure to ask your plastic surgeon all your questions during your consultation! Hope this helps!

Answer: Yes, breast lift can be avoided. I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Mildly Sagging Breasts: If your breasts are mildly droopy, a saline or silicone gel implant placed behind the pectoral muscle might help create the illusion of perkiness. That’s because as the implant fills out the top of the breast, it also fills out the bottom, making it look as if the nipple has moved higher. It hasn’t. You can always get a lift later if you feel you are not perky enough when fully settled and healed. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Different implant sizes Hi there, yes I think you could achieve a more symetrical and balanced look with two dfferent sized implants. I would reccomend doing the breast augmentation and then waiting 6 months- 1 year to let them heal and see if you need a lift.
