Can I get a lift to correct asymmetry? (Photo)

Question

Hi I am 23 I am 5’8 and weigh 160 I have an athletic build and am pretty fit, I have always had assymetrical breasts and the less fat I have the worse it looks. I have a plan to get liposuction on the left breast but do you think that’s the best option or should I get a lift and implants, my question is, is liposuction necessary or can I get away with a lift and implants or would liposuction and a lift be fine?

Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest that your plastic surgeon be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.

Your breasts are asymmetrical in volume, shape and position.  The technique I recommend is a mini lift.  Using a circumareola incision, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.  If you want the larger breast to match the smaller one, you can undergo liposuction.  If you want the smaller breast to match the larger breast then fat transfers can be performed or a small implant.

Hi Alli98,
In looking at your situation, you have to decide whether you would like both breasts to look like the left side or the right side since there is a size discrepancy. The best way to get the symmetry would be to do a small lift on the left side while adding fat to the right side after liposuction. This allows you to do the minimal surgery with least amount of scars while providing you with the best desired outcome.

For the breasts I would be breast implants and perhaps only a one sided breast lift?  There are minimally invasive treatments for breasts lifts from InMode via the BodyTite treatment as an alternative to a breast lift; an in-person consultation would help decide between those options.  I like lipo 360 for torso shapes like yours to help contour the body and really accentuate your athletic look.  Best Wishes!!

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. Based on these photos, I think that you may be a better candidate for breast augmentation using differential sized implants without a lift or liposuction. I hope this helps.
