Breast asymmetry is more common than most women realize. In fact, it’s perfectly normal for one breast to be slightly larger or positioned differently. However, when the difference is significant, it can affect self-esteem, clothing fit, and physical comfort.
Surgical correction of breast asymmetry is highly personalized. Depending on the case, one breast may be lifted, reduced, or augmented to match the other. Some women may need implants in one breast only, while others combine lifting and reshaping techniques for a balanced result.
During the consultation, plastic surgeons evaluate shape, volume, nipple position, and skin elasticity. From there, they create a surgical plan to achieve optimal proportion.
This procedure is often performed on young women whose asymmetry developed during puberty or after pregnancy. Recovery depends on the techniques used but is usually similar to other breast surgeries: 1–2 weeks off work, with full results visible in 2–3 months.
Correcting asymmetry can be life-changing, allowing women to feel more confident, wear clothes without pads, and regain a sense of body harmony.
