can a PS redo only one side??

Well, I had my surgery close to 9 weeks ago. Pre-breast augmentation I was slightly smaller on my right side, but on all of my consults each PS said that the difference was suttle and that they recommended using the same size implant. That's fine by me, I know they will never be exactly alike. The problem is...the difference is way more noticable now. Even wearing a bra, and under clothes. I have been placing a small swimsuit liner in my bra to try to even out the difference, but it really doesn't help. My left is just so much fuller. Measuring across each breast...left is 9 2/8" right is 8 1/2". If I bend over, my left looks bigger, and hangs lower than my right.

So my question is, can I have a redo on just my right breast? I would only want to exchange my current implant for a larger one.

I do intend to speak with my PS about this, but I guess it just seems silly.

Thank you so much for your time!!!

Revisions can certainly be performed only on one side. Good luck!
