Asymmetrical Breasts Correction Surgery
Uneven or different sized breasts are very normal, more than half the female population has asymmetrical breast development during teenage years. A disparity in breast size is also common post-adolescence, with as much as a 15 to 20% difference between breasts, but this is usually not noticeable.
Occasionally, however, there is a significant difference with one breast being noticeably larger than the other (asymmetric breasts). Naturally, this can be a source of worry and cause many women to feel self-conscious. You can also have asymmetrical breasts as a result of micromastia and while this condition is not uncommon, it can have an enormous impact on a woman’s self-esteem and confidence.
There are many ways uneven breast size can be treated and your surgeon will discuss all available options at your first consultation.

FAQs
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.
The risks associated with Asymmetirc breast surgery are dependent on your specific procedure, whether that be breast enlargement or breast reduction. You can discuss this with your surgeon to see which is best suited to you.
While it is normal for women’s breasts to be different from each other, occasionally this difference is very noticeable. In such situations the aim of surgery is to try to balance the breasts. There are a variety of techniques that may be used and the choice will depend on a number of factors including whether or not an increase in overall breast size is required. Examples of operations to symmetrise the breast include:
The augmentation of the smaller breast to match the larger one
The reduction of the larger breast to match the smaller.
The use of different sized implants in each breast.
Or a combination of the above.
