Procedure to Fix my Uneven Breasts Without Implants?

Hello! I'm a 21 year old girl who is pretty fed up with having uneven breasts. My left breast is about a 34D, while my right looks like it could be a B cup at best. Since I've heard breasts are pretty much done growing by age 21, I'm trying to look for an alternative. What would be a procedure I could use where I don't have to get implants, but can still keep a relatively good size, if at all possible? If implants are a must, I'll get them, but right now I guess I'm trying to keep costs low.

Your Photos Suggest That You Would Benefit From A Unilateral Left Sided Breast Reduction

Breast asymmetry occurs to some extent in every patient. Mild asymmetry of the breast is almost considered a normal finding in most patients. Occasionally breast asymmetry can be severe and surgical correction is necessary. In your case your photos suggest that you would benefit from a unilateral left sided breast reduction. This procedure would reduce the size of your breast, reduce the size of your areola, and lift your breast into normal position. In some cases... more

Uneven Breasts

Hi SybilVane, Based on your posted picture, I suggest you not expect perfect symmetry from whatever procedure you proceed with. In your case, reasonable options would include: a left breast reduction with a vertical technique +/- liposuction fat grafting the right breast + a breast reduction on the left to achieve symmetry implant augmentation on the right with a reduction on the left for symmetry do nothing If you have any symptoms from... more

Correcting breast asymmetry without implants

The larger breast can be reduced. The size of your left breast is too large for liposuction of the breast to be successful. Even if the nipple is relocated, the shape of the breast will not match the smaller, right breast. See a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in breast reduction surgery. Fat transfer procedures to the breast do not have enough of a track record in terms of lasting effect and there is insufficient information as to the risk of fat necrosis or resorption for... more

Fat injections can help correct uneven breasts.

You can reduce the larger breast with a lift and liposuction or you can enlarge your smaller breast with fat injections.

Breast assymetry in a young person

Correction of asymmetry without an implant can be achieved as long as perfect symmetry is not expected.  I would recommend leaving the right breast alone and creating a tighter and smaller breast on the left .  I would recommend a Vaser lipolysis to reduce volume followed by a revision of the nipple to put it in proper position.

Correction of breast asymmetry with out implants

The best way to correct breast size asymmetry with out implants is to make the larger breast, smaller to be more matched to the smaller side.  By your photo I would suggest liposuction breast reduction on the left side.  Liposcution can be effective in most people but some ladies can have such dense breasts that the fat is not able to be removed.  If liposcution does not seem to be possible after an exam then you will need to consider a surgical reduction... more

Thanks for the photo. I recommend by your guidelines a left reduction/lift ONLY. This keeps fees lower and only operating on one breastt to try to achieve symmetry.

Implant Alternative

without an exam, and given your goals, my sugestion is to consider a unilateral left sided lift/small reduction.  This should not only even up the size and shape, lighten your chest, it will even the position of the nipples.  To my eye, your right breast is at least a C cup, but this will vary with brand of Bra.

Uneven breasts

It all depends upon what you are looking for. If you want the smaller one to match the larger one, you will need an implant.  If you want the larger one to match the smaller one in size, you will need some sort of a reduction on the larger one.

Asymmetric Breast correction without Implants

From your picture, it appears that the right breast is of adequate size and has no droop. If that is the case, and you are happy with the size of the right, then you need only a left reduction of the amount of difference. This will also set the nipple up to match the right.
