Asymmetrical Breast Surgery
Improve your breast symmetry and body confidence with breast symmetrisation surgery
Asymmetrical breasts describe a difference in shape, size, or position between the two breasts. More than half of all women have asymmetrical breasts to some degree, and minor differences don’t generally cause concern. If this is a concern for you and the difference is more significant than one cup size, you may be experiencing anxiety and distress.
But don’t worry. Help is at hand with breast symmetrisation surgery. Our expert, Mr D B Ghosh, one of the UK’s leading breast surgeons based at The London Clinic, the Harley Street Clinic, and The Royal Free London Breast Unit, can improve your breast symmetry and body confidence.
What is breast symmetrisation?
Breast symmetrisation surgery refers to procedures that create a more balanced and symmetrical appearance between the breasts.
Benefits of breast symmetrisation surgery
- Correction of size discrepancy
- Enhanced aesthetic appearance
- Improved clothing fit
- Enhanced proportionality
- Psychological well-being
- Improved posture and comfort.
Breast symmetrisation surgery can involve various techniques, depending on your specific needs. Standard procedures for breast symmetrisation include:
Breast augmentation
This procedure involves the use of implants to increase the size of one breast, bringing it into better proportion with the other. We use silicone or saline implants.
Breast reduction
If one breast is significantly larger than the other, a reduction may be performed on the larger breast to achieve better symmetry. Breast reduction surgery can remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin.
Combination of breast augmentation and reduction
In some cases, we might suggest a combination of augmentation and reduction to achieve a more harmonious balance between the breasts.
Fat grafting (liposuction)
Fat grafting involves removing excess fat from one part of the body (through liposuction) and injecting it into the smaller breast to add volume and improve symmetry.
Breast lift (mastopexy)
If sagging is an issue in one breast, a breast lift may be performed to raise and reshape the breast, creating a more symmetrical appearance.
Nipple and areola adjustment
If there are differences in nipple and areola size or position, we can adjust to achieve better symmetry. Adjustments may involve repositioning, resizing, or reconstructing the nipple-areola complex.
Revision surgery
In cases where a previous breast surgery has resulted in asymmetry, we might suggest revision surgery to correct and improve the balance between the breasts.
