Why is it that some breasts dont look symmetric after augmentation?
No two breasts are identical. There is always a little bit of difference. When you augment the size of the breasts, sometimes their differences are augmented as well. This is particularly true with nipple position. If one nipple is one half of an inch higher than the other before surgery, it may be a full inch higher after surgery. This may not bother some women, but this difference may be obvious when wearing a shirt without a bra. This can be corrected at the same time as the augmentation or later with a minor breast lift. A difference in breast size can often be corrected by placing a larger implant in the smaller side. This means, of course, that the smaller breast with the larger implant will feel less natural than the larger breast with the smaller implant. Still the breasts may not look exactly the same size or shape. Asymmetry is a bigger problem when it is due to asymmetry of the chest wall (rib cage) or to a significant difference in the position of the crease underneath the
