One breast larger than the other

Ginger, Thanks for the question.  In short, breast asymmetry is common feature among most women. These asymmetries can be congenital or a consequence of changes that occur to the body throughout life (as a consequence of breast feeding, for example). There are various solutions to the problem of asymmetry... more

Simply placing an implant in the smaller breast will not compensate for the asymetry. This is because the larger breast has more skin and usually rests lower on the chest. Soft tissue expansion of the smaller breast can occaisionally compensate by stretchning the skin of the samller breast to create some... more

There are many different dimensions to measure when considering treating uneven (asymmetric breasts). If everything else is even, the easiest solutions may be lipsuciton on the larger side. I have included video clips with liposuction used during breast enlargement. More often than not, there are other issues... more

This is very common and there is a huge spectrum of asymmetry.  There are many options that can be performed.  In general if no lift is required then different sized implants are places.  If a lift is required then I prefer to do a reduction and get the breasts even and place close or even sized... more

Breast asymmetry is more common than you think.  Yes, you can enlarge one side by placing an implant or reduce the larger side by performing a breast reduction.

You can either enlarge or reduce, lift or a combination of both.  In some instances the larger breast may be a candidate for liposuction if a less invasive option is desired.  Get seen, and explore the possibilities. sek

Hi!  Your breasts can definitely be made much more symmetrical. 1)  Sometimes, all a woman needs is an implant in the smaller breast. 2)  More commonly, we operate on both breasts.  The larger breast is lifted or slightly reduced.

Yes, breast implants are commonly placed for breast that are asymmetric.  However, if you would like the bigger breast to be smaller, a reduction can be done.  Depending on the cause of the asymmetry, this may be covered by insurance.  If your breasts are very asymmetric from a congenital... more

Ginger: First, you should know that most women have at least some difference in shape, size, volume, etc. between their two breasts. When average patients have augmentation, we often fill one saline implant slightly more than the other. Second, adding an implant to only the smaller breast is possible, but for... more

Almost all women, if not all, have some degree of asymmetry to their breasts with regard to both volume and shape. How much asymmetry there is will determine what type of procedure works best for you. Breast shape also will determine the ideal procedure for each patient. Sometimes it is as easy as placing two... more
