Breast Asymmetry Correction
Breast asymmetry, where one breast is a different size or shape from the other, is very common. When the difference is noticeable, surgery can help create better balance.
What is it?
Breast asymmetry refers to a noticeable difference in the size, shape or position of the two breasts. It can be developmental or the result of previous surgery.
Why might someone consider it?
- One breast is noticeably larger than the other
- Your breasts have developed with different shapes
- Previous surgery has left you with asymmetry
- Asymmetry is affecting your confidence or clothing choices
What happens during your consultation?
Miss Dua will assess both breasts and discuss what can be achieved. The approach may involve reducing the larger breast, lifting the smaller breast, or a combination.
Treatment or surgical process
Surgery is tailored to your specific asymmetry. This may involve reduction on one side, uplift on the other, or a matching procedure.
Recovery
Recovery depends on the procedures performed, typically one to two weeks.
Results
The aim is to achieve better symmetry and balance between the two breasts.
Scarring
Scarring depends on the technique used on each breast.
Risks and considerations
- Perfect symmetry is not always achievable
- Scarring
- Changes in nipple sensation
- Asymmetry may change over time with weight or age
Miss Dua's approach
Miss Dua assesses each breast individually and plans surgery to achieve the best possible balance, using oncoplastic techniques for natural results.
