Correction of Breast Asymmetry?

Thank you for the question then picture. Your breast asymmetry is not unusual and can be improved upon to some degree with the use of different sized implants. Absolute symmetry should not be anticipated. Prior to proceeding with breast augmentation surgery it will be very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. In my practice I find the use of goal pictures to be very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or... more

Breast Asymmetry after Pregnancy and Breast Feeding

Breast asymmetry tends to persist after breast enhancement surgery. It is not unusual for a woman to experience a significant change in the shape of the breasts following pregnancy. In the US the average woman undergoing breast augmentation is 32 years old and has 2 children. Your right breast does appear larger than the left breast and the breasts seem to be at different positions on your chest. Your shoulders are not level in this photograph and this enhances your... more

Breast asymmetry

Minor breast asymmetry can be a bit tricky. If there is not a large difference, I will often place the same implant in each side.

Good luck.

Correction Of Asymmetry After Breast Feeding

From your photo, it certainly appears that your right breast is slightly larger than the left, but your right shoulder is significantly higher that your left making it somewhat more difficult to interpret the photo. Ask your surgeon why he/she feels that the right side needs a larger implant. You may have misunderstood the recommendation.

Breast Asymmetry After Breastfeeding

Breast asymmetry after breastfeeding is not unusual, and if there has not been significant sagging of the nipple and breast tissue below the breast fold, it can be corrected with breast augmentation. The key question is which side has the most breast tissue, not just the most excess skin, and this question is difficult to answer with photos but is best determined with a physical exam. In the meantime, one way to get some idea of which side has the most breast tissue is to see which side... more
