My left breast is roughly half a cup size smaller than my right breast - is this difference significant enough to justify some kind of corrective surgery? And if so, which option would most likely correct the asymmetry? I both to be the same size as my right breast. I think my breast shape is fine and don’t care to make them any bigger. I’d like to avoid implants if possible, but ultimately would go for whatever has the highest chance of success.
Answer: Fat transfer? I can see the asymmetry in the photo. The right breast has more volume AND more ptosis with the breast shape slightly more relaxed with a lower nipple position. The problem with addressing the asymmetry with adding volume to the smaller, tighter side is we can actually exacerbate the asymmetry as the breast will become more tight and higher while the other breast will remain looser and lower. Perhaps the best direction would be to perform a small vertical lift on the right side to correct the underlying soft tissue excess. Having said that, your comment "to justify some kind of corrective surgery?" is valid as your breasts are natural and overall with good shape and volume. It may behoove you to wait until after having children and growing older when things will change more and there will be more reason to operate. Thank you for sharing.

Answer: If it bothers you! First off, no woman's breasts are entirely symmetrical--there are always slight differences in shape and/or volume. That being said, it is entirely up to you if the difference is enough to warrant a procedure to get them closer in volume. For a lot of women who I have treated, they notice volume differences both in the appearance of their breasts and in how they fit in clothes/bras/swimsuits/etc, and do appreciate the improved symmetry after a procedure. Fat transfer is a great way to correct small differences, especially when one breast is at the desired size.

Answer: Does your surgeon know your BMI? It’s unusual that your surgeon has scheduled your preop despite your BMI being over what they recommend. Does your surgeon know your BMI? Please let your surgeon know before your preop. If they already know, they may have determined that it’s okay to proceed.
