Breast Asymmetry

Nearly all women have some degree of asymmetry between their two breasts. Some women have more pronounced differences, whether in shape and/or cup size, that can make it difficult to wear a bra, fit into clothes comfortably, or feel confident.  

Asymmetry Correction

Some women have a significant disparity in the size of their breasts, sometimes even several cup sizes different.  

This is often noted at puberty, but the difference can become more dramatic with changes in weight or with pregnancy and breast-feeding.

Tuberous Breast Correction

"Tuberous breasts" is a variation some women are born with. Defining characteristics of tuberous breasts include an enlarged (or "puffy") areola, a narrow width to the breast with wide spacing between the breasts, a short distance from the nipple to the bottom of the breast, and droopiness of the breast. Even severe cases can be transformed into a more traditional appearing breast with a well-thought out plan for correction and reconstruction. This may require implants, areolar reduction, and a modified lift. Most patients with tuberous breasts find that more than one surgery is necessary to achieve their ultimate goals for shape and size.

Personalized Surgical Plan

Because each breast asymmetry case is unique, a variety of different surgical techniques may be used to achieve improved symmetry.  This carefully tailored surgical plan may include implants, a lift or reduction, and liposuction.
