Is There a Way to Get my Cleavage More Even or Will It Always Be Uneven As Shown? (photo)

Thank you for the question and pictures.

The breast asymmetry that you are referring to is obvious in the pictures you have provided. Although I cannot provide you with definitive advice on mine, I think that it is very likely that the use of a larger breasts implant volume ( on your left side) will help improve breast symmetry.  Exactly what size/profile of breast implant will be necessary would depend on careful measurements;  I usually make these measurements intra operatively with the help of temporary sizers in place.

 It will be very important for you to discuss your goals with your plastic surgeon; I like the use of goal pictures to help with this  communication process.  Show your plastic surgeon the “look” of what you are trying to achieve as well as breast that are too small or too big…

 I hope this helps.

Differences in rib protrusion and breast volume make it impossible to get perfect symmetry, but sometimes improvements are possible. Changing the implant to a higher profile will make a breast project more, but it will also make it more narrow. Your breast would be more rounded and stick out more, but this could slightly widen the space between your breasts (reduce cleavage).

The bottom line is that anything you do to improve a problem may compromise other things. This is why it is important to work with an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon to help you decide if a revision is likely to get you what you want versus exchanging one problem for another.
