No. By themselves, breast implants hardly ever reach a perfect symmetry between asymmetric breasts. In your case, not only are the breasts different in volume, but they apparently differ in shape and in location. To reach the closest result to symmetry, you would probably need a breast augmentation with a lift... more

Can breast implants make breasts look symmetrical?
I am a mid-twenties woman with mild scoliosis, which causes my left ribs to stick out further than my right.
My left breast appears larger partly because of this, and partly because of the difference in volume (nearly a cup size difference: B vs. C). The left (larger) breast is also placed much more on the outside of the torso than the right.
Is breast augmentation likely to solve any of these problems and give me an even look? Is it possible to achieve this by simply adding an implant to the smaller breast? Thank you!

A: Breast asymmetry.
Hi! 1) Breast asymmetry is a special interest of mine, and I have seen a number of young women with your situation. 2) Much improved but not perfect symmetry can almost always be achieved. I would encourage you, because patients are universally so happy. 3) For most women, to get the... more
A: Breast asymmetry and breast implants
All women have breast asymmetry to some extent, either volume or shape differences or both. If you have a noticeable difference in both size and shape, due to scoliosis, a larger implant on your smaller side will help improve your asymmetry however it will not completely corrrect this. Your larger breast will... more
A: Breast implants can correct volume differences
No woman has perfectly symmetrical breasts. We all strive for symmetry and often come close. In you case, besides the difference in breast volume, you also have an asymmetrical chest wall, the nipples are possibly at different heights and the breast creases might be at different levels. The implant will not... more
A: Breasts implants and symmetry
Sometimes breast implants can correct for volume differences between the breasts and improve symmetry. Sometimes if the bony platform is very asymmetric and if the creases below the breasts are not even and if the nipples are at different heights, an augmentation will magnify the asymmetry. In cases like... more
A: Can breast implants camaflouge breast asymmetry caused by scoliosis?
Hi Person200. The short answer to this is, yes. Breast implants are often used to correct asymmetry. This is especially true with respect to size; the asymmetrical position of the breast may or may not be helped. Keep in mind that it is not possible to achieve 100% symmetry but it can... more
