Unhappy Breasts

There are certainly many options to improve the appearance of your breasts but before proceeding you must make several decisions. You mentioned that you intend to have children but no one can predict how your breast will change after pregnancy. Your areola could be lifted and made smaller but they may widen after pregnancy. Your primary problem is breast shape and you would require some type of Mastopexy and possibly implants if you are unhappy with your size. These procedures will... more

Breast options

Your areola are medialized, and that may be difficult to change too much. It also looks like you probably need some sort of a lift as well as an implant if you want to be fuller.

Evening Out Breasts

I believe that a lift with a vertical component to it would be beneficial. The breast can be shaped internally to achieve more fullness and symmetry. Dr. ES

Breast Asymmetry

Thanks for the question and the photo! From what I see, breast asymmetry with constricted lower poles with tubular appearance and resultant ptosis (sagging)....I know implants sound daunting, but they will provide excellent upper pole volume as well as contour improvements along the base of each breast. Correction of the ptosis and tubular breast issue to give you better symmetry and an rejuvenated breast look would be a lift or a mastopexy. A vertical or lollipop lift would place a scar arou more

BREAST ASYMMETRY WITH MINIMAL SURGERY

In my opinion, a right sided peri-areolar (crescent) or circumareolar (donut) lift would even out the areola level and use of liposuction would achieve closer proximity in the appearance of the breast with the least amount of surgery. see video

Breast asymmetry can be corrected without breast implants.

Hi. 1) From your picture, you will do well with an asymmetric breast lift, with circular scars around your nipples. Your nipples need to point out a little more. 2) You need more of a lift and a tiny reduction on your right breast. 3) The areolas should be made a little smaller, specially the right one.

Breast asymmetry

Your nipples are disproportionately large and off-centered. The only way to correct this is with a type of breast lift, probably a vertical lift with a lollipop scar. The size difference can be adjusted at the same time with or without implants depending on what your goals are for breast shape and size.

Breast lift for you

You simply need a breast lift to elevate and reshape both breasts and make them more symmetrical. You don't need implants if you don't want to be bigger.

Breast asymmetry can be fixed with a combination of a lift with a reduction or implants

From your photos, it appears as though you may benefit from a vertical mastopexy to make both breasts perkier and more symmetric. Depending on your desires, one breast may need to be reduced a little or the other augmented with an implant. Either way, the scarring heals very well with incisions around the areolae and straight down from the 6 o'clock position. Good luck!

Many options for breast asymmetry

There are many options for breast asymmetry which span the full spectrum of breast lifts, augmentation procedures, and even reduction depending on patient preferences. For some one such as yourself who is not fond of the idea of breast implants, your best option may be an around the nipple breast lift to reduce and position the nipple areola to better match the other side. The scar is the least, and should not interfere with future pregnancy and breast feeding. Best of luck... more
