Correction of Uneven Breasts
There isn't a single best way to correct breast asymmetry. In general the size discrepancy can be corrected by either augmenting the smaller breast, reducing the larger breast, or some combination of both.
It gets a little more complicated when there are significant differences in the shape and position of the breasts. Correcting this will usually involve a lift being done on the more droopy side. Your surgeon can give you specific alternatives after an examination.

Breast symetry
If the breast are different , they can be improved with surgery and general look much better after surgery than before. If you are looking at results that are "horrible" I would like to see what you consider horrible, sometimes expectations have to be worked on before the breast are.

Asymmetry breast surgery is difficult.
Breast surgery to correct asymmetry can be very difficult depending on the reasons for the asymmetry. In some cases, it can take multiple surgeries to achieve a relative symmetry. Absolute perfect symmetry does not exist and expectations of perfection should be avoided. The primary goal is to achieve balance in clothing and to improve self-esteem. Also, as one ages, a correction which was great in one's 20's may be asymmetric again in their 60's. I recommend a candid discussion...

Breast assymetry
I understand your concern.Obviously you can choose to do nothing or research and go to a board certified plastic surgeon who has experience in breast Reconstruction.Almost ,even all, women are not symmetrical but some have a greater difference than others.Be diligent do some research and go for it.

Breast surgery to correct asymmetries
Breast surgery to correct asymmetry can be a challenging procedure. Usually if the proper combination of augmentation, reduction, and/or lifting is done there can be a substantial improvement. A great deal of this is technique dependant so make sure that your surgeon is confident that he/she can deliver what you want.

Correcting breast asymmetry can be difficult but is also extremely rewarding surgery for our patients.
Almost all women have some degree of difference between their breasts, and in discussion with my patients I usually point out that the two breasts are sisters, not twins. Having said that, many women have more significant asymmetry between their breasts and the surgery to improve the situation can be more complicated. Sometimes, a staged approach using expanders in a planned two operation approach is the surest way to correct the problem. I wouldn't want you to be too...

Breast asymmetry correction
Correction of breast asymmetry is a bit more complicated but very common in my practice. Yesterday, I had a patient with about a cup size difference in size and the shape was different. I did an uplift on both sides but more on the droppier side and put a larger implant, after placing sizers, on the smaller side. She will not be perfect but definitely better. Asymmetry can also be corrected without implants by doing a reduction on one side or a combination of this and an uplift. I...

Asymmetry or Congenital Deformity?
All women have breast asymmetry to some extent. I have yet to meet a female patient with exactly symmetrical breasts. Correcting minor breast asymmetries is usually fairly straightforward. However, correcting severe deformities (i.e. as occurs with Tuberous Breasts) is more complicated. Many of the tuberous breast deformities that I have fixed require a breast lift to some extent, which usually translates into slightly more surgical scars.

Permanent scars are a part of any and all breast surgery to make a better shape and lift the breasts. You have to do your research and find a good plastic surgeon in your community.

Correcting Breast Asymmetry
Correcting breast asymmetry can be very challanging, but it can aloso be very rewarding. The results will vary greatly depending on the degree of asymmetry. Without seeing your pictures, it is difficult to give you specifics. I would recommend seeing someone who specializes in breast surgery.

Breast Asymmetry
Breast asymmetry surgery is more complicated than a primary breast augmentation because there are many more variables in effect. It is not just a matter of the breasts being different sizes, but typically there is a difference in the quality of the skin, the position of the nipple, and the relationship of the breast tissue to the overlying skin. In fact, in some breast asymmetry cases two completely different operations are being performed on the breasts in order to get them to look the same...

Correcting breast asymmetry.
Depends on the method of correction and also the surgeon and his/her experience. Normally a PS will let you know if your expectations are realistic before doing the surgery.

Breast Asymmetry Surgery
Your question is very hard to answer properly. It is unaccompanied by any photographs and yet contains severe dissatisfaction with your breasts as well as those you have seen in the internet.
Since the vast majority of breasts ARE asymmetric, all breast surgery, in effect is asymmetry surgery. The type of surgery would depend o the nature of asymmetry: difference in size, different in size and location on the chest walletc. It may require augmentation with different implants, different...

Correcting breast assymetry
In order to achieve the results you would like it is important that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the best and safest options for you. Procedures and incisions involved will depend on the severity and complexity of your case. Many patients seek plastic surgery to correct assymetry of the breasts and to improve the size and shape of the breasts. Each patient is unique and it is crucial that you communicate your goals with your surgeon prior to the surgery. It...

Breast Asymmetry
Thanks for the question.
Correction of breast asymmetry has several variables which contribute to final outcome. These include but aren't limited to, baseline asymmetry (how bad is the asymmetry), surgeon experience, quality of breast tissue, native volume of breasts. My recommendation is to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who has a vast experience with this type of surgery. Ask to see plenty of before and afters so you can get an idea of what your expectations should...

Breast surgery
Some procedures are difficult - and patients don't always understand that. The other issue is that it can be difficult to predict the quality of scars. When they heal well, we probably get more credit than we deserve. When they heal poorly, probably more blame. The key is to understand that they are not invisible, and where they will be.

Breast assymmetry options
If you're sagging or asymmetrical, and are looking for perkiness, you'll need a lift--or, if you also want more volume, a lift and implants. A breast lift raises droopy breasts from one to several inches and excess skin is removed. If you just want to go bigger, the only way to do that is with implants. The great thing about these techniques is that they can now be down with minimal scarring and performed as an outpatient procedure without the need for general anesthesia.

How will my breasts look after surgery for asymmetry
It is really hard to answer your question without knowing what degree of asymmetry you currently have and what procedures you would need to undergo to address that asymmetry. That being said, fixing asymmetry breasts is far more challenging than a straightforward augmentaiton and really does require an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who specializes in this area.
My recommendation is to get more than one opinion, ask for before/after results, and talk to your surgeon...

Fixing breast asymmetry
Surgery for severe breast asymmetry is one of the hardest procedures to get an optimal result and a happy patient. Even if the result looks good the patient is often unhappy because one breast may have an implant and the other does not so they fell very different. If one breast needs a lift and the other does not then the requisite scars will be on the lifted breast but not the other breast. Without photos or a face to face examination it is impossible to comment on your specific situation....

Keep looking for a Breast surgeon who can show you good photos of before and after breast surgery
There is no shortage of bad results with breast surgery. Asymmetry is a very common problem with women's breast. With out photos and with out understanding what your goals are it is hard to make a recommendation. If your breast are both too big and asymmetrical then a reduction mammoplasty would be the operation of choice. If you breast are both too small for your taste, the an asymmetrical augmentation mammoplasty may be the right choice. If one of your breast is the right size and the...

Assymetric Breasts
Breast Assymetry can be very challenging to correct. Often there is both a size and shape issue that needs to be corrected. Depending on your degree of assymetry, you may not be able to obtain ideal symmetry. It is important for your surgeon to discuss the limitations of a surgical procedure, such that you have a realistic expectation of what your end result will be. I recommend that you consult with at least 3 board certified plastic surgeons such that you make...

Breast Asymmetry
Correcting breast asymmetry can be challenging for both the patient and the surgeon. Much of it depends on the degree of your breast asymmetry and if the breasts are "constricted" or "tubular" (meaning that they did not develop properly). It is not unusually to require more than one procedure to achieve a good result but in some cases, perfect symmetry may not be possible due to a person's specific anatomy. For example, if there is an underlying deformity of the rib...
