My breasts have a very large size difference one just stopped developing. The small side has little breast tissue and has much smaller areola. The small size stopped developing when I was 13 or 14 and hasn't changed much since except for I put on some weight. The other side continued to grow and develop normally. What causes this and what surgical procedure do you recommend and do you know any surgeons who specialize in asymetry like this. I'm not really wanting reduction to the small size
Answer: Asymmetry common. Hello and thanks for the post. Asymmetry is common, but in your case your breasts are very different. No one knows exactly why this happens. There are lots of surgery options for you including saline, silicone and MemoryShape breast implants. Best wishes, Dr. ALDO.

Answer: Fixing Breast Asymmetry Hello,The most successful way of improving symmetry is a two stage process that Dr. Mackenzie mentioned. Your breasts don't just differ in volume, they differ in skin surface area as well. Because of the degree of difference, it's best done in two stages. The first is to reduce the volume and skin excess of the larger breast. This is very important so that the larger breast can respond to the increased volume of the implant in the same way that the smaller implant does in a second operation. Also, minor revisions can be performed on the formally larger breast during the second operation if necessary so that the best symmetry can be obtained.Best of luck!

Answer: Different options for correction of breast asymmetry. If you are okay with the volume of your right breast one possible solution would be to augment the left side to match the volume of the right and then perform a mastopexy on the right side to adjust the diameter in position of the areola.

Answer: Major breast asymmetry Hi... thank you for the question...and photos... the treatment of these asymmetry, a breast augmentation with anatomical implants and a mastopexy of the other side to take them to the most simmilar as possible

Answer: Major breast asymmetry. One side just stopped growing. What causes this and what surgical procedure do you recommend? Every woman that I see in consultation, think that they are the only ones with breast asymmetry. Matter of fact, in over 22 years of practice, I'm still waiting to see the perfectly symmetrical breasts on a woman. If you like the larger size and shape, then I would consider fat graft breast augmentation on the smaller side to achieve more symmetry in shape and size. This will give you the most natural result both in static and dynamic conditions. If you consider just augmenting the smaller side, without or with a breast lift on the larger side, you will continue to have asymmetry, especially with movement. If you move your arms up the breasts will look even more asymmetrical, since the implant will need to go in a submuscular pocket and tends to go up higher. See a board certified plastic surgeon for an in person consultation/evaluation to decide what is the best option for you based on your wishes and what is anatomically possible to achieve. Good luck.
