I had a breast augmentation recently. Are these good results? I feel that there is asymmetry
Answer: Revision needed In your pre-op photo, you can see your breasts were asymmetrical and one nipple was higher than the other. Also, your breasts were widely separated. Unfortunately, the implants had to be placed underneath the nipple-areola complex, which resulted in lateral position of your breasts, one side more than the other. At this time, I recommend a circumareola approach to reposition the nipple-areola complexes and change implants for the volume discrepancy. You will also need plication of the capsules laterally and inferiorly to push the breasts more medial. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Asymmetry? It seems the greatest asymmetry is from volume mismatch. Your upper pole fullness seems quite satisfactory. May be just a larger implant on the right and perhaps adjusting the inframammary fold. Ask your plastic surgeon but they think that that that this is probably the best place to start.

Answer: Asymmetry You do have some asymmetry, but you also had asymmetry prior to surgery. You will want to wait for six months from your surgery to allow healing and settling to occur. If after that time you still have concerns, you can consider a revision to improve your results.

Answer: Result can be better Hi, I’m Dr.Eskalen from Istanbul/Turkey. Better to compare your previous photos instead of 3D but as i can see your midline can be better with revision. I hope my message helps you. Best regards,Dr.Eskalen.

Answer: Breast augmentation it is difficult to fully assess what is happening, as your before photo is of a 3D simulation using an imaging software. However, based on the before simulation, it appears to had existing asymmetry both in terms of breast volume and breast fold position. If the same implant sizes were used, and the folds were not adjusted or matched than this could be what is leading to your post-operative asymmetry. In order to fully assess what is going on, I would recommend following up with your surgeon or another well-trained plastic surgeon who can give you a full assessment after physical exam.
