Breast Asymmetry Surgery

The aim of Breast Asymmetry Surgery is to improve the symmetry of uneven breasts, with regard to size shape and nipple position.

Whilst breast asymmetry is a common condition that is not often noticeable and has no significance, there are some cases where one breast is a significantly different size than the other. The affected person can be left feeling self-conscious and embarrassed by their appearance. Major differences often justify corrective surgery. Correcting breast asymmetry will not only help you improve your appearance, but can also provide a boost to your self-esteem and confidence.

Each case is different and Miss Breahna will discuss the surgical options that best suit you. The treatment options for asymmetric breasts could be:

• A reduction to the larger breast
• Inserting an implant into the smaller breast
• A combination of an implant in one breast and a reduction / lift to the other breast
• Both breasts receiving implants of different sizes when an increase in size of both breasts is desired.

Breast Asymmetry Recovery

Whichever option is chosen, a general anaesthetic will be used and you can expect to stay in hospital overnight. There will be a period of 1 – 2 weeks for gentle recovery which will require reduced activity levels. You may need to wear a supporting surgical bra for up to 6 weeks, with full results expected in around 6 months.

Follow-up appointments will be arranged at 1,2 and 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year post surgery to closely monitor your physical well-being.
