BREAST ASYMMETRY CORRECTION

In 10% of women, one breast is very different than the other. Usually, one breast is smaller and flatter and the other is larger and sagging.
As a woman gets older, the difference between her two breasts can increase because the small breast tends to stay flat while the larger one grows even larger and more sagging with pregnancies or weight changes.
This asymmetry or difference between the two breasts can be corrected with good surgery.
Severe breast asymmetry can be psychologically disturbing, especially for teenagers.

Each breast asymmetry patient is unique, so Dr. will carefully examine your medical history, your current breast shape, and your desires before recommending a specific, personalized approach focused on your goals in order to help you plan a procedure that creates the appearance you want.

The most common combination is breast augmentation of the smaller breast and breast reduction of the larger breast. Sometimes, only one breast needs to be operated on. If the smaller breast looks good, we just reduce the larger one to match. If the larger breast looks fine, then we will just place an implant in the smaller breast to get symmetry.

Most women have slightly different-sized – or asymmetrical – breasts. However, in some cases the difference in size is pronounced. In these cases, correction is often desired. The best procedure will depend on several factors, including how you want to balance the breasts.
