One of my breasts sits higher than the other. I would like a breast augmentation but am worried that an augmentation will make the asymmetry more pronounced. Can anything be done to either raise the breast that is currently lower or lower the breast that is currently higher? How realistic is desiring this kind of symmetry?
Answer: Breast asymmetry Would breast augmentation surgery help minimize asymmetry? Absolutely. In most cases, breast augmentation can be an amazing solution for correcting breast asymmetry. Inserting two different sizes of implants allows us to create more even and symmetrical breasts. In some cases, we remove a bit of fatty tissue from the larger breast as well. Good luck.

Answer: Breast augmentation will help to solve the asymmetry problem. Thank you for your question. Currently, breast augmentation surgery can be performed while improving the asymmetry of the chest.The difference in nipple level and asymmetry can be improved by changing the level of dissection of the pectoralis major muscle of both breasts when creating a dual plane pocket; the difference in inframammary fold (IMF) level would be fixed to the chest wall when closing the IMF incision. You can raise or lower the IMF while doing it. The asymmetry of IMF level can be corrected by raising one IMF and lowering another. If there is a difference in breast size, it would be corrected by inserting implants of different sizes on both sides.

Answer: Implants Yes, one could be raised, or easier to lower the other breast. Measurements are needed to see which way would be best. This can be discussed during the consultation.

Answer: Possibly; see the link below for some examples of results for women with a similar concern I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants, and they choose what looks right for them. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Breast augmentation and asymmetry thank you for your question and posting appropriate pictures. You seem to be a very good candidate for breast augmentation and adjustments in your fold is certainly needed and wanted to achieve symmetrical results. This is an advanced procedure and needs to be done expertly. I see that you are in Denver, one of my recent fellowships graduates is Dr. Hasan who practices in Denver and will be able to help you with this. You should go for a consultation.
