Asymmetric breasts

It is very normal for a woman’s breasts to be slightly different, but this is usually not noticeable. Occasionally, however, there is a significant difference with one breast being noticeably larger than the other (breast asymmetry). Naturally, this can be a source of worry and cause many women to feel self-conscious. But it is a problem we see quite often..

What does asymmetric breast surgery involve?
The aim of surgery is to try to match the two breasts in size, as closely as possible. This might entail making the smaller breast larger, or sometimes the larger one is made smaller.

Surgery may therefore involve the use of an implant on one side in combination with lifting or reducing on the other side.

The surgery will depend on your individual situation, and your surgeon will discuss the problem with you to decide the best solution for your case.

How long will I be in hospital for?
The procedure is carried out under a general anaesthetic and will require an overnight stay in the hospital before being discharged the following day.
