Hi, i did my Breast Augmentation surgery a five years ago. As you see they are uneven. Please, give me some advise how i can fix them? Can i just fix one of them or i have to re do both of them? Thank you.

Answer: Pocket repair Hi Krasotka, I'm sorry to hear of your complication! I wonder if this asymmetry was present immediately after surgery? Or if it's something that occurred a bit down the line?Either way, you may need some repair of the breast pocket. The breast implant should be nestled in a pocket withing the breast tissue and sometimes that pocket loses its integrity somehow. I wish you the best of luck in your search for treatment! -Dr. Nik

Answer: Breast Revision Thank you for your question. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to breast revision surgery. In your case, you definitely can be fixed. I would perform an internal bra-capsulorrhaphy for procedure on the left breast and possibly a capsulotomy/opening the pocket on the of the right breast. I actually wrote the very first paper on capsulorrhaphy over 20 years ago. Best wishes to you.
