Breast lift for asymmetry?

That's a great question! The bottom line is virtually all of us are asymmetric, and virtually all women have some asymmetry from one breast to the other.

Breast Lifting?

Breast lift vs breast augmentation

Hello, You photo did not upload. A breast lift is designed to reshape the breast, a breast augmentation is designed to increase the size of the breast, and a a breast resuction of course is to reduce the breast. Uneven breasts that have similar volumes can be improved by a breast lift, uneven breasts with different volumes can be improved by either augmentation, reduction, or both. Often a breast lift is also added if the areola location is not ideal or dramatically... more

Breast lift

A breast lift and different size implants can improve uneveness. The photo did not show up. It is not possible to evaluate you without an examination. A consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon would be your best bet.
