Is it bad to only want to have a lift on one breast even though the other one is also drooped below the fold?

It would be nice to see some pictures to understand the current asymmetry a little better. However, if you are happy with the way one of your breasts looks, having an intervention on just one of them could be considered. I encourage you to seek a second opinion by another board certified plastic surgeon and see if any other options are available. I do have to agree that if both breast are tubular and symmetry is the goal, a procedure involving both breasts may provide better results, specially if you need an implant. Best of luck.

Hard to give opinion without at least photos to see what the problem is and how severe. However, when doing a breast lift with asymmetry, you can usually get a better more balanced result to operate on both breasts. So in principal I agree with your surgeon but if need be get a second in person opinion from another plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Dear Sulgunwhale,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello @Sulgunwhale, thank you for your question. It is important that the patient discusses this with their treating physician so that together, you can come up with a solution that meets the patient's expectations as far as surgery can go, in order to improve the patient's condition and provide long term results. For more information and recommendations is best to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

If only the one breast bother you, then just have surgery on the one breast. They may not be exact, but can be more similar.

It is difficult to give an opinion without photos or an examination. If both breasts are tubular you will want to have both corrected. You will likely achieve better symmetry overall if both breasts are addressed. I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon. It also is fine to get a second opinion from a board certified plastic surgeon.

Hello and thank you for your question.
You are very much entitled to ask for a one sided procedure... though it might be very difficult to make your left breast look even partly similar to the right one.I understand they have a size difference, which has to be addressed by a reduction on the left. The technique is designed to produce a shape that is wide based and projected and will probably not give a result that is similar to the right side. I suppose this is why your surgeon wanted to address both in order to be able to get closer to a similar shape.
But you should consider a few other opinions ... and come forward and tell plainly that you are willing to accept a small asymmetry provided this, this and that!
Hope it helps
