Types of Breast Asymmetry Surgery
Breast Augmentation
Ideal for correcting asymmetry when one breast is smaller than the other. Anca can insert an implant in one or both breasts to achieve balance in size and shape. The choice of implant type (saline or silicone) and size will be determined based on your anatomy and desired outcome.
Breast Reduction
When asymmetry is due to one breast being significantly larger, a reduction can be performed on the larger breast to match the smaller one. This involves the removal of excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a more symmetrical appearance.
Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
If the asymmetry is mainly due to differences in the position or sagging of the breasts, a lift can be performed to reposition the nipples and areolae and reshape the breast tissue. This procedure can be done on one or both breasts to improve symmetry.
Fat Transfer
For mild asymmetry or when a patient prefers a more natural approach, fat transfer can be used to even out differences in breast size. Fat is harvested from another part of the body, processed, and then injected into the breast to add volume where needed.
Combination Procedures
Often, the best results are achieved through a combination of techniques, such as augmentation with a lift or reduction with fat transfer. Anca assesses each case individually to decide on the most effective approach.
How Is the Procedure Performed
The surgical procedure for correcting breast asymmetry is highly personalised and can vary significantly from one patient to another. Here are the details of the process:
- Initial Consultation: Anca conducts a thorough evaluation, including medical history, physical examination, and discussion of aesthetic goals. This step is essential for designing a surgical plan tailored to your specific needs.
- Preparation and Anaesthesia: On the day of surgery, you are prepared for the procedure, and anaesthesia is administered. The type of anaesthesia used (general or local with sedation) will depend on the complexity of the surgery and your comfort.
- Surgical Technique: Depending on the agreed-upon approach, Anca performs the surgery using the techniques best suited to achieve symmetry. This may involve precise incisions for implant placement, tissue removal, or lifting and reshaping the breast tissue.
- Closing Incisions: Once the desired adjustments have been made, Anca carefully closes the incisions with sutures, striving to minimise scarring and preserve the natural contour of the breasts.
- Recovery: Post-surgery, you are moved to a recovery area for monitoring before being allowed to go home, usually the same day.
Breast asymmetry correction can be achieved through various surgical techniques, depending on the nature and extent of the asymmetry. Anca customises each procedure to address the specific concerns of her patients, using one or a combination of the following approaches: Breast Augmentation, Breast Reduction, Breast Lift (Mastopexy), Fat Transfer, or Combination Procedures.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from breast asymmetry correction surgery varies depending on the extent of the procedure but typically follows a structured timeline. Anca provides comprehensive aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery:
- Immediate Postoperative Care: You may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the initial days following surgery. Anca prescribes medication to manage pain and recommends cold compresses to reduce swelling.
- Support Garments: Wearing a special surgical bra or compression garment is often advised to support the healing breasts and maintain their new shape.
- Activity Restrictions: To ensure proper healing, you are advised to avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and vigorous exercise for several weeks. Anca offers guidance on gradually resuming daily activities.
- Follow-up Appointments: Regular check-ups with Anca are essential to monitor healing, remove sutures if necessary, and address any concerns. These appointments also allow Anca to assess the success of the procedure and your satisfaction with the results.
- Long-Term Care: Maintaining a stable weight and following a healthy lifestyle help preserve the results of the surgery. Anca also advises on scar care to minimise their appearance.

Choosing Miss Breahna for my Breast augmentation was the best choice I made! She was really helpful in all consultations, nothing was awkward, I felt comfortable at all times. She made sure I knew everything before making a decision. The day of my operation was a breeze, I was reassured everything was going to be fine, I had the best treatment and care. I am so happy with my results, I couldn’t praise miss Breahna anymore, I would recommend her to anyone, she’s an amazing surgeon!
Breast augmentation. Very professional service. Miss Breahna took her time to explain every step and I felt, at all times in very good hands. Every stage has been outstanding including post surgery care and follow ups. Her attention to detail is outstanding and I am more than happy with the results. Perfect in every way! Contact with Miss Breahna is always effortless, with prompt responses for any questions or queries both pre and post surgery.
From the beginning, Ms Breahna has treated me with the upmost care and consideration, with a gentle and professional manner in all aspects of the process. Ms Breahna’s expertise was invaluable when considering between breast augmentation and a mastopexy augmentation, with the most appropriate implant size and shape. Saying I am happy with the results is an understatement as I couldn’t have imagined my breasts to be as perfect as they are, with incredibly neat scars and, personally, no complications. I have thoroughly enjoyed the process due to Ms Breahna’s kind nature making me feel so at ease throughout, with unfathomable attention to detail and care. Thank you!
From the first time meeting Anca she listened to exactly what I was looking for in regards to my breast augmentation, she was honest with me about the size that was right for my body and put me at ease throughout the whole process. On the day of my surgery she again explained everything to me so I was aware of the procedure and what to expect. After surgery, Anca later came to see me to ask how I was feeling and also checked that everything looked ok and that I was comfortable and again the next morning before i was allowed home. I also had a phone call from Anca the day after to see how i had settled in at home and again how I was feeling, after the surgery I was left feeling very comfortable and able to see my new breasts a week after and am extremely happy with them, the cuts are very small and have healed nicely and my breasts still look natural but with more volume which was exactly what i was after. Thank you so much for giving me such a good experience after i was feeling very nervous about the whole procedure, i have definitely been looked after throughout and have already recommended Ms Breahna to others and will continue to do so.
