Breast augmentation results - I feel like there is asymmetry. Will I need a revision? (Photos)

Question

I had a breast augmentation recently. Are these good results? I feel that there is asymmetry

Luis A. Mejia, MD · Answer

Dear CutiePeaches, Thanks for sharing your pictures and concern. After evaluate your case yes you do have this asymmetry, this can be fix perhaps by performing a revision and try to correct the nipple position, as I can see you already had this before surgery. Make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and best of lucks. Dr. Luis Mejia.

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

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.

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.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

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.

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.
