How to Fix Uneven Breasts

First decide if you like one of your breasts as it is now. If you like the right breast, then you would benefit from a Spectrum implant placed in the left. This is a postoperative adjustable implant from Mentor. If you like the left breast, then you would need a reduction of the right side. If you do not like either breast then decide what you want, larger, smaller, or in between. An experienced plastic surgeon can do a variety of things to make your breasts more... more

Best way to approach breast asymmetry

I think the best way to approach correcting breast asymmetry is to have realistic expectations as to what can be achieved. Although no one can expect to achieve perfection, realizing that significant improvement can be achieved should be the goal. Sometimes, breast asymmetry is approached in a staged fashion. First you should decide which breast you like best and discuss with your plastic surgeon how you can best get your opposite breast to match. This may require an implant, reduction,... more

Correcting Uneven Sized Breasts

The key to successful surgery is an agreed upon goal. First, pick the size / volume (not shape) of the breast you would like. - If you are happy with with the size of the Left breast, then the right breast needs to be reduced to that size.- If you are happy with the size of the Right breast, we need to augment the Left breast to the size of the right breast- if you would like an in between size, we would first need to augment the left breast to that size and then reduce the right breast to... more

Asymmetry of breasts

I think it is great that you realize that the two breasts are very different, and it would be impossible to make them exactly the same. On the other hand, they can be matched up fairly well. I think the right one needs to be lifted a bit. One or both can be augmented depending upon what you desire.

Breast Asymmetry options

You need to first decide on the size you like. You will likely need a lift or small reduction on the right and an augmentation on the left. Other options may also be available.

Options to improve breast symmetry

Your condition is quite common but you do want to consult with a surgeon who has experience with this type of case because they can be more difficult than they seem. One procedure that I have found very useful in cases like yours is using what is called an expander implant (Spectrum from Mentor). This would be put in on the smaller side, whether or not you choose to enlarge the other side, and it has what is called a fill port which you would see as a little bump under the skin below the... more

Natural look for uneven breasts

You need a series of surgeries. The first in my opinion is an implant on the right and a donut or l-shaped lift on the left. If there is still differences than a revision surgery to address those issues. Hopefully you will need only 2 operations. Regards.

Options for asymmetric results

I tend to agree with a stepwise approach. Here is a simple outline that I would propose: Step 1: Which is your favorite breast, I assume the right Step 2: Measure the degree of nipple sag on the right. This will determine the type of lift to perform Step 3: Do you want the right breast larger? If yes, place uneven implants in both. If no, place an implant in left I have also attached links to a... more

Correction of breast asymmetry

Seeing a picture is helpful but as you would imagine cannot take the place of a formal in-person consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. The procedure you would have depends on what your goals are. If you didn't want to change the right breast, you could undergo a left-sided augmentation with possibly a peri-areolar lift on the right to try to achieve nipple height symmetry. If you wanted both breasts enhanced, you would need different sized implants which would be finally... more

Breast asymmetry correction

Determine what your end point is. Do you want more symmetric smaller breasts or more symmetric larger breasts? Do you want your breasts to look more like your left breast, right breast, or neither? One option is to lift and reduce the right side to most closely match the left, then augment both. But your final decision should be made with an experienced surgeon in a couple of face-to-face consultations with a meticulous examination.

Examination needed to determine which breast surgery is best

There is no doubt that your breasts are asymetrical -- however, you need to be examined and measured. Probably a small implant on the right with a larger one on the left -- you may need a small lift on the right -- but a personal visit is needed to determine that.
