Asymmetry and different implant profiles
I had surgery on April 1st to replace my old breast implants, so I’m now about 5 months post-op.
For reference I have pectus excavator so my chest wall is sunken In more so on the right side. So I have smaller surface area to work with in that side.
The condition is what made me want to get implants as I had very noticeable asymmetry because of it.
From the very beginning, I’ve felt like my implants don’t even seem close to the same size. They aren’t and I expected some asymmetry do to my natural anatomy. My left breast has always seemed noticeably larger (although it’s the smaller implant left is 320 cc, right is 440 cc) than my right. At both of my follow-up appointments (1 week and 1 month), my surgeon was confident they would settle and even out
It’s been almost 5 months now I still don’t feel like they have. From the front, the difference isn’t too obvious, but when I look down at my chest, it seems really noticeable. The left implant looks much larger—it projects more, sits farther out toward the side of my chest, and overall just looks bigger. I actually have to add padding to one side of my bra to make them look even under clothes.
Has anyone else experienced something similar?
I recently had a follow up with my doctor and she said she could revise it but would suggest going with a moderate profile on the left so it projects lest since my natural chest wall is more forward then the right side and keep the high profile on the right
Has anyone else done two different styles of implants like that? Will the shapes still look totally different?
Any insight would help from those with a similar experience would be helpful I’m very unsure what to do right now
