Almost two years ago I had breast augmentation . I requested smaller implants under the muscle but the doctor gave me large implants above the muscle . They are silicone implants and the right breast has a larger implant ( about 80cc more). My right breast looks like a V shape. I can feel breast tissue at bottom ( it’s breast tissue according to mammogram). Why my breasts look so horrible ? And uneven? What could be done ? Thanks
Answer: Implants You might consider going somewhat smaller and placing the implants behind the muscle. The lower pocket can be enlarged to give a better rounded shape.

Answer: V shape breast If you look carefully, your v shaped breast also has more upper pole fullness, an important clue to what may be the issue. Without an examination nothing conclusive can be said, but I believe you have capsular contracture, the most common complication of breast augmentation, and seen more frequently in persons with implants over the muscle and with periareolar incisions.

Answer: Breast implants You can have the implants placed under the muscle and the lower edge V shape corrected if you desire. Pretty simple to do this but I think implant size is fine

Answer: What can be done Your breasts are large, but they are attractive. Minor asymmetry is normal. They sit normally low so only a small portion is covered by muscle.
