Custom approach to asymmetry

This is an interesting question with a variety of answers and possibilities. The simplest and best surgical answer would be a lift (mastopexy) and small direct reduction of breast tissue on the right side only which could equalize the actual volume and position of both breasts. This would probably stay the most equal over the long run. If minimizing scars is the goal then liposuction of the right breast would reduce its volume somewhat (though not predictably) and would only... more

Fixing breast asymmetry

That depends on which one you like more. It is certainly easier to make the right smaller and more like the left than vice versa. If you do not mind the mild drooping you could just liposuction the right breast. You could liposuction from the right and inject some of that fat into the left breast. You could put an implant in the left etc. There is no single best way. The best way for depends on what specific goal you want to achieve (symmetry as a goal is not specific enough) and your budget... more

Breast Asymmetry

The best way to improve the symmetry of your breasts with the least amount of scars would be to increase the size of the left breast with an implant. The scar is only a little more than an inch long and can be hidden in your breast crease. If you want your breast shape and nipple position improved, you would need a lift instead which can have more scaring but will look great. Good luck!

Incisions are required for improvement of your breasts

Unfortunately, any surgery that involves incisions involves scarring so having no scarring for you would be impossible. Not only are your breasts asymmetrical but they are also droopy and clearly they would need to be lifted (a mastopexy) in order to appropriately correct and rejuvenate them. The most common approach for this is an inverted T scar though there are some other variants. Implants could be placed dependent on the exact look and size that you would desire but their insertion... more

Correcting Breast Asymmetry

The procedure which would correct your asmmetry with the least scarring would be a small reduction of your larger breast, but you would need to be happy with the volume on the smaller side and accept the sagging that you have. If not, it would be difficult to achieve symmetry and correct the sagging without the potential for some significant scarring.

Breast asymmetry is corrected nicely, for you with lollipop scars..

Hi. 1) You look like an ideal candidate! 2) Just going by your picture, I would do a lift of your left breast and a lift with a small reduction of your right breast. 3) How a lift and reduction are done is very important. The vertical technique (also called Lejour or Hall-Findlay) is best because it does not rely on pulling the skin. Instead, it re-shapes and lifts the breasts INTERNALLY, and this produces much more long lasting result. Also,... more

This has to be individualized

In looking at your photo, if I had my choice, I would probably do a small liposuction on the larger breast to equalize the size and then do a small mastopexy to raise the nipple and get rid of some of the extra skin. No matter what you do, there will be some scarring. I would NOT reccomentd adding fat to the left breast to make it bigger.

Fat Grafting For Breast Asymmetry

Most women have some differences in size and shape between their breasts. When the difference is large and you want to balance it, there can be several good choices. The first choice is size. Would you like to make the big one smaller or have both breasts be the size of your smaller? After deciding that, it is important to review options. Your breast can be made larger with an implant or with fat grafting. Fat grafting leaves... more

Fixing assymetrical breasts

I would need to listen to your goals to be able to give you advice. are you happy with the appearance of the breasts other than the size difference or do you want them lifted and not hang as much? which size do you like better? you can uplift both breasts with a small reduction of the bigger breast. you can inject fat into the smaller breast to make larger but still they will hang, I do not like that idea as much. i suggest you think about those basic questions and look on line for... more

I have another alternative.

If you have some areas where there is excess fat, the fat can be harvested with liposuction and injected into the smaller breast for a natural, no-implant way to correct the asymmetry. There would be almost no visible scarring (Just tiny needle marks, that would be hard to find after a while.) If there is a big difference in size the procedure may need to be done more than once. Best wishes

You could try liposuction.

Hello, As I see it you have a right breast that is larger. Probably the easiest minimal scar operation would be a liposuction reduction of the right breast to approximate the volume on the left side small breast. Another option is body liposuction and fat grafting to enlarge the left breast to approximate the volume on the right side larger breast. There are pros and cons to these operations but they meet the needs of minimal scarring. I would recommend... more

Breast asymmetry correction

Thank you for the question and picture. There are a variety of different ways to improve the symmetry of your breasts. Exactly the procedure that is performed depends on your goals in regards to size, shape, superior pole volume etc. For example you may benefit from mastopexy (breast lifting) of both breasts along with breast reduction on the larger side. There is no good way to do this with “little or no scarring”. Based on experience, I... more
