I am 15 months post op and am wondering why my left breast is so weird looking. It's almost pointing downward. My surgeon says everything is normal but I don't agree. I didn't except them to be so uneven. It doesn't hurt and is still pretty soft. I added a before picture for reference. I got 450cc silicone. High profile.
Answer: Implants Although you preop photo is slatting, you can see that your left breast sits lower than your right. This is not corrected with just an augmentation, so it still sits lower. the left implant also may still be sitting a little high. A small lift should be able to improve things.

Answer: Breast asymmetry after augmentation There are many factors that can create this type of asymmetry after augmentation. First and frequently neglected is a small asymmetry present before surgery which was not brought to patient attention before surgery. Weight change, uneven position of breast folds, breast implant contracture, uneven placement of implants, etc.. If one looks at your before surgery photo, some asymmetry seem to be there? It is best to discuss these issues with your surgeon and seek appropriate correction. Hope this helps.

Answer: Breast implant revision Thank you for your question and posting appropriate pictures. You may be a candidate for breast implant revision, which occasionally can be performed under local anesthesia. It is best to have a virtual consultation to ascertain muscle activity. While you did have some asymmetry preoperatively, there is room for improvement without an actual lift.
