Achieving Symmetry: Breast Asymmetry Correction Surgery Explained

Breast asymmetry is a common occurrence among women, and it can cause feelings of self-consciousness and dissatisfaction with one’s appearance. While no two breasts are perfectly identical, significant differences in size, shape, or positioning can lead to discomfort both physically and emotionally.

In this blog, we’ll delve into the details of breast asymmetry and how breast asymmetry correction surgery can help restore balance and boost self-confidence.

If you’ve ever wondered about the causes of an asymmetrical breast or the options available to address this concern, read on to learn more.

Understanding Breast Asymmetry

Breast asymmetry refers to a significant difference between the size, shape, or position of a woman’s breasts. It’s important to note that mild asymmetry is entirely normal, as absolute symmetry is rare in nature.

However, when the asymmetry becomes more pronounced and affects a person’s self-esteem or comfort, it might be worth considering corrective measures.

There can be various reasons behind breast asymmetry:

Developmental Factors: During puberty, breast tissue develops at different rates in each breast, leading to size disparities. Hormonal imbalances, genetics, or other developmental factors can contribute to this. Whilst breastfeeding the weight of breast milk can cause a breast to sag.

Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and hormonal changes over time can lead to alterations in breast size and shape. Sometimes, these changes might result in noticeable asymmetry.

Trauma or Surgery: Injury to the chest or previous breast surgeries can impact the appearance of breasts, causing them to become asymmetrical.

Addressing an Asymmetrical Breast Through Surgery

For those seeking a more balanced breast appearance, asymmetry correction surgery is a viable option. It’s important to remember that every individual’s case is unique, and a thorough consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon is essential to determine the best course of action. Here’s what the procedure generally involves:

Consultation: Our plastic surgeon will discuss your concerns, medical history, and aesthetic goals. They’ll examine your breasts and breast mass, possibly using imaging techniques (breast MRI), and recommend a tailored approach.

Surgical Plan: The surgical plan will be personalised based on the severity of the asymmetry. It might involve breast augmentation or breast enlargement (using implants or fat), breast reduction, breast lift or a combination of both to achieve a harmonious look.

Procedure: The surgery is typically performed under general anaesthesia. Incisions are made according to the surgical plan, and the necessary adjustments are made to achieve the desired symmetry. Our surgeon is here to ensure natural-looking results.

Recovery: After the surgery, a recovery period is necessary. You’ll be advised on post-operative care, including wearing a supportive bra and avoiding strenuous activities for a few weeks.

Results and Confidence: Over time, as the healing progresses, you’ll notice your breasts becoming more symmetrical and aligned with your goals. The aim of this surgery is not only physical change but also an improvement in self-confidence and body image.

Uneven breasts can cause individuals to feel embarrassed and lack self-confidence – breast asymmetry surgery offers a solution to get back your confidence.
