Possible to have only one surgery for uneven breasts?

Uneven breasts are routine. However, the larger the asymmetry the more difficult it is to get them to look close to the same. They will NEVER look exactly alike.  Without a formal examination it is impossible to even suggest what could be done for you.  Making one smaller or bigger to match the other... more

Hello, Doing things all at once is possible but the chances of getting a good match is less than if you plan it in two operations. Trying to predict the final result of a breast reduction is tricky. I would see a few good doctors and go from there.

This is a very difficult problem and I would recommend seeing a plastic surgeon that feels comfortable with this procedure.  I have dealt with this issue many times and it is possible to perform the surgery in one shot.  But I do always tell my patients the chances of revision surgery is a lot higher... more

Hellokitty333: Since most women have some differences, a single operation is the most common method, but there are women in whom two procedures can give a more even result. If you have found an experienced surgeon, and had an in-person consultation / evaluation, I suspect you would benefit from the two-stage... more

Most feel that the breast is even and symmetric on most individuals because of our experience with fashion media. The truth is that most women have a subtle unevenness to the breast, one being slightly larger than the other, or being of a slightly different shape. As a cosmetic surgeon I encounter this daily... more

 Asymmetric breasts have many reasons for the asymmetry. Some of the reasons include: size of the breast tissue, location of the nipple, location of the inframammary fold (crease under the breast), congenital deformities (Poland syndrome), previous biopsies that have reduced the size of the breast, etc.... more

Hi! Uneven breasts can be corrected in one surgery.  Most often, something different is done to each breast, but at the same time. Of course, without seeing your anatomy, I cannot say what each breast needs.  But I would encourage you, because most women are very happy after correction of breast... more

If you have uneven breasts there are many surgical options to improve them.  Usually they can be done in one stage but sometimes more than one surgery is needed to get the best result.  If you are in Pittsburgh, you might consider seeing Dr. Ken Shestak who is a superb breast surgeon. 

In general, since the breasts are paired structures, it is better to do similar procedures to each breast to achieve symmetry. You generally do not want to end up with an implant on one side but none on the other. It might be better to reduce each breast to symmetry and then augment symmetrically ,but each... more

You clearly need another opinion. Reduction followed by an implant would be unusual to say the least. Very few breast procedures which don't involve cancer need to be done in stages. If you have significant differences between the two breasts you may require a second smaller touch up procedure but this... more
