Should I Get Surgery to Correct Asymmetry? (photo)

I'm 19. One breast is a B and one is a full C according to measurements. Should I wait a few years to see if they even out, or is it highly unlikely? I am so distressed by this that I have recently lost my appetite and lost 5 pounds, have been feeling depressed and am ashamed to appear in a bathing suit. My parents won't pay for surgery. How much would surgery cost? Is the difference large enough that surgery is appropriate? If I got one implant, would the other breast eventually sag?

It would be difficult to correct your condition with a single implant on one side.

Breast Augmentation can improve asymmetry

All women have differences between their breasts. In your case there is a cup size difference between the two. This can be improved with breast augmentation. Usually I recommend augmenting both breasts but will use implants of different sizes to improve the size difference. Augmenting both breast permits a better match in the shape of the breasts as well as the volume.

Breast Implants would help tremendously

Yes. If you have implants placed in different sizes, this will significantly improve your asymmetry. It is a simple one hour procedure that is performed in the office OR. Prices and can be discussed at a free consultation. Remember that most women do have a degree of asymmetry.

Breast Asymmetry

Breast asymmetry such as yours if fairly common. I doubt that you will even out over time unless your breast have not finished growing. Surgically, you will probably benefit the most from a breast augmentation with different volumes to improve your symmetry. Even with this, absolute symmetry may not be attainable, but based on your photographs, you should get breast that are fairly even. I also want to touch on your emotional state. While I can understand that... more
