I had my breast augmentation 1 year ago today. i have subfascial 350cc in the left and 325cc in the right. my right i believe has CC as it is very hard and significantly smaller and higher than the left. My doctor advised it was my asymmetry but this is very extreme. i am having to tape the left boob up in almost anything i wear to hide the lopsidedness of my boobs. Getting this surgery was for confidence but i’m not happy.l love the left but the right something is very wrong. looking for suggestion

Answer: Breasts You appear to have a capsule. I would suggest going back to your surgeon and discussing this. You could try external ultrasound treatments and oral Accolate, or surgery to open and release the capsule with implant exchange.

Answer: Explant with mini lift In your pre-op photo, you can see your breasts were asymmetrical in volume, shape and position and the nipples were pointing outward. At that time, you should have undergone a lift at the time of implantation. At this time, I recommend explantation and lift using a mini lift. Using a circumareola incision, the implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. At the same time, fat transfers or smaller implants can be placed.

Answer: Asymmetry From your photos it appears you had asymmetry before surgery and still have that asymmetry now. There are volume differences prior and one breast is lower. If you have capsular contracture you can schedule an evaluation with your surgeon. The recommended treatment varies based on the degree of the issue.

Answer: CC If you are experiencing significant asymmetry and suspect that you may have capsular contracture (CC) in your right breast, it is important to follow up with your plastic surgeon for a thorough evaluation. Capsular contracture is a complication that can occur after breast augmentation surgery and is characterized by the hardening and tightening of the scar tissue capsule around the implant (it looks like it’s the case here).
