i have uneven breasts and im thinking about getting surgery to fix them however im not really keen on getting implants to correct this. Are there any other options?i was also thinking about getting a aerola reduction because they are quite large, but if i was to get pregnant in future would this be ruined?
Answer: Lift is a great choice! The breast lift operation allows for correction of asymmetry from left to right. In fact it is a much more powerful operation in this regard than breast implants. The areolar reduction is an integral part of the lift operation, so that would be accomplished at the same time. You probably should be fine after lift with pregnancy, although it is impossible to guarantee

Answer: Mastopexy Can Correct Breast Asymmetry Most women actually have some degree of asymmetry of the breasts. If you also experience ptosis, or sag, you may be a good candidate to undergo a breast lift. As part of that operation, I do often correct breast asymmetry. Also as part of a mastopexy, I can trim a portion of the areola to decrease its size.

Answer: Breast Lift / Breast Augmentation/ Breast Implants/ Anatomic Gummy Bear Implants/ Silicone Implants Thank you for your question. Photos would be helpful to best answer your question. A breast lift will bring the breasts up and reduce the size of the areola. The type of incision needed is best determined by physical exam.I perform a liposuction breast lift/reduction known as Breast LipoLift®. This specialized technique spares more nerves and blood supply as well as removes tissue from the areas you don't want such as near the armpit and the lower portion hanging near your stomach. Once I use this to shape the breast, I then remove the excess skin to tighten the breast and create a more proportional silhouette with better cleavage. This procedure is also more accurate than traditional breast lifts or reductions since I use 3D measurements to uncover size asymmetries. During the procedure I remove exactly whatever is more from the larger side to get as close to symmetry as possible. Since I perform this less invasively the recovery time is faster and drains are not necessary. Over 90% of my patients are out to dinner the next evening taking only Advil and Tylenol if even needed. The size would depend on the proportion with your body versus going for a cup size. It has been proven to have less complications than traditional breast reduction (please see my Breast LipoLift® page web page) and should not affect nipple sensation, mammograms, cancer risk or breast-feeding. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in breast plastic surgery. Best of luck!

Answer: Correcting breast asymmetry without implants The best treatment for asymmetric breasts depends upon your own anatomy. Significant breast asymmetries do make getting good results more complicated so it's important that you go through all your options with your surgeon beforehand to come to the best decision for you. It is certainly possible to improve the symmetry without implants by using a combination of reduction and uplift surgery, provided you are happy with the size of the smaller of your two breasts. Whether or not this would be suitable for you is impossible to say without examining you in person though. If you would like a degree of augmentation as part of your symmetrising surgery then an option would be fat transfer or lipofilling as an alternative to an implant. This is usually the best way of increasing volume if you want to avoid silicone implants and can often be done as part of the same operation, though it may well require additional procedures. If you get pregnant after an areola reduction then it is possible some of the benefit may be lost, depending on how much your breasts change with the pregnancy, but it is rare to lose all of the benefit of your previous surgery. Indeed if your areolas do stretch a little, they would almost inevitably have done so more without surgery. Do your research well, chose a surgeon that you trust and good luck with it all!

Answer: Fixing breast asymmetry without implants it is very possible to fix breast asymmetry without the use of implants. In order to re-position the nipple complex, a mastopexy is needed. Depending on the degree of droopiness, one nipple can be lifted higher than the other and one breast can be tightened more than the other. This allows us to fix asymmetries between the two breasts without utilizing implants. Sometimes one breast will require a small breast reduction as well to match the other side.
