6 years post op, considering a breast implant revision - can my asymmetry be corrected? (photos)

Dear wizardlyfoot76,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would be able to get more natural results with revision surgery. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Hi. I think that you can get closer symmetry but may not be exact. There is a very big difference with the height of each of your implants, and this may be hard to fully correct. You can certainly go with larger implants as well. Talk to your surgeon so you can get a better idea of how much correction can be achieved. Best of luck!

A breast implant revision is possible and would fix the issue you described - in good hands.
Implants can be replaced and Strattice can be used for additional support (it is often referred as an « internal bra »).

Of course, an « in person » consultation is necessary.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !

Actually, your higher implant is in a better position than your lower implant. The lower needs to be raised a fair amount and may need an internal bra of mesh for support. Your higher implant may need to come down a small amount. Do not go larger for your tissue is not supporting the weight of both implants well now.

Yes, you are a good candidate for breast implant revision surgery. You will need the side that is higher to be lowered with capsule work and also the implants to be exchanged. Surgery will take roughly 90 minutes under general anesthesia. You should meet with a board-certified plastic surgeon as revision breast surgery is complex. Good luck!

Yes, revision surgery should improve the asymmetry that concerns you. It is important to discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon and learn more about what you can expect in terms of results. It appears if you wanted to go a little bigger that would be okay to do, though your current volume looks nice on you.

Dear wizardlyfoot,
Both breasts in and of themselves are nice breasts. The height discrepancy appears to be quite severe and is perhaps a combination of asymmetric fold heights pre-surgery, technical short fall in lowering the higher fold and implant descent. You probably should have addressed the asymmetry with your surgeon 6 years ago and may have gotten a free or discounted revision. At any rate, the fact that you prefer the lower breast should be an easier fix. The higher implant can be lowered, but there is a risk of creating a star gazing nipple on that side, as the nipple height itself appears to be higher. Also, there will be the risk of a double bubble deformity. So, maybe you should not expect complete symmetry after. Seek consultation with an American Board of Plastic Surgery certified plastic surgeon for an examination and discussion of your options. Good luck!

Yes you are quite assymetric at this poiunt. Revision surgery can be performed with a much better and aesthetically pleasing result.
