Different shaped breasts and asymmetry. Would it be worth it to do a revision? (Photo)

I
Intellectual472714Apr 5, 2022

Originally the right side started out smaller than the left and my doctor overcompensated and did a 60 cc difference. Now it is bigger but I was wondering why the shapes look different. It seems like the right side is much more rounder and it’s not dropping like the left side. Would it be worth it to do a revision and get a smaller size on the left side? Also would a smaller implant help with the symmetry and make it drop more?

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...
