Correction of breast asymmetry can restore a woman’s self-confidence, improve the quality of her sex life and get rid of complexes. At the Frau Klinik
Mammoplasty is performed by real professionals who have significant experience in plastic surgery, performing breast surgeries of any degree of complexity.
Severe asymmetry usually occurs for several reasons:
- hereditary predisposition,
- pregnancy and lactation, for example, when a woman places her baby more often on only one breast,
- menopause, age-related changes,
- sudden changes in weight.
This cosmetic defect can be characterized by:
- different sizes of mammary glands,
- differences in the shape and position of the nipple-areolar complex,
- uneven inframammary skin fold.
The degree of asymmetry can also vary from mild, unnoticeable to pronounced.
Breast asymmetry
No woman in the world has perfectly identical breasts, but the minimal difference is not noticeable to its owner. But what to do if breast asymmetry is pronounced and brings aesthetic dissatisfaction to a woman, making her feel embarrassed about her shape? For example, many new mothers often encounter breast asymmetry after feeding. And here every woman faces a difficult choice: live with uncertainty about her own attractiveness all her life or choose a modern method of breast asymmetry plastic surgery with the help of aesthetic medicine specialists.
Breast asymmetry. How to fix?
It is important to note that breast asymmetry comes in varying degrees, and the further method of correcting the imperfection depends on its severity. In some cases, a woman may have breast asymmetry naturally; in other situations, breast asymmetry appears after feeding or asymmetry due to hormonal disorders, as well as neoplasms. The following types of breast asymmetry are distinguished:
- Weakly expressed
- Moderately expressed
- Strongly expressed
Depending on the degree, the plastic surgeon selects the type of breast asymmetry plastic surgery.

Breast asymmetry. Operation
How to correct breast asymmetry? To this question from patients, there is a clear answer from specialists - surgery. Breast asymmetry can be corrected during plastic surgery, during which the patient’s wishes will be fulfilled. At the appointment, the specialist will clarify how the woman wants to see her neckline and select the required volume of surgery. Often a patient plans breast augmentation due to asymmetry, and this is a frequent request in modern plastic surgery. It is worth immediately reassuring many women that breast augmentation with asymmetry gives a good result, in which, when performed by an experienced surgeon, even the patient herself will not guess what the breasts were originally.
Causes
One of the factors causing breast asymmetry is breastfeeding the child. In order to avoid this, it is necessary to feed both breasts evenly, avoiding excessive stimulation of one breast. If you do not control this process, the question of how to correct breasts of different sizes will certainly arise. And it will be almost impossible to solve the problem without plastic surgery. Other reasons why one breast becomes larger than the other:
- hypoplasia is a congenital defect caused by genetics;
- circulatory problems due to injury, which may delay muscle growth;
- changes in hormonal levels - menopause occurs and can cause muscle atrophy;
- unsuccessful endoprosthesis replacement may be accompanied by displacement of the implant and the appearance of capsular contracture;
- pathologies of the mammary gland - enlargement of one of the breasts can be caused by neoplasms, mastopathy, or cysts.
What are the methods for performing the operation?
- Correction of ptosis without the use of an implant. During the operation, the doctor will perform a breast lift and, if necessary, correction of the nipple-areolar complex, which will give a noticeable result, without the use of an endoprosthesis if the woman does not want to have one installed.
- Breast augmentation using lipofilling. This method is used when breast asymmetry is weakly expressed and can be eliminated by transplanting the woman’s fat tissue into the breast, which is inferior in volume. This is a relatively new operation in the arsenal of plastic surgeons, but it has already won many fans who do not want to insert a foreign body into the breast in the form of an implant.
- Breast augmentation with an implant. This method is used when breast asymmetry is severe. because other methods, unfortunately, will not give the desired result of golden symmetry. During this procedure, implants are selected to balance the volume of the breast. If necessary, additional breast lift and areola correction are performed.
About the operation
Correction of breast asymmetry is carried out using various methods, which are discussed together with the patient. At a preliminary consultation, the degree of deformation is determined, the condition of the mammary glands is analyzed, and individual characteristics are identified. If you have chronic diseases, you must inform the surgeon about this.
Methods for eliminating asymmetry:
The endoprosthesis can be installed in different positions:
- enlargement of one of the mammary glands
involves the installation of a silicone endoprosthesis, which is located under the pectoralis major muscle or under the glandular tissue; - enlargement of both mammary glands
by installing different silicone implants, which allows you to achieve symmetry; - reduction of one of the mammary glands
is aimed at removing excess tissue and correcting the nipple-areola complex; - A lift of one or both glands
is recommended for ptosis of one or both breasts.
* Depending on the situation, the surgeon chooses one or another technique to achieve maximum aesthetic results. In some cases, a combination of several techniques or the use of alternative methods – breast lipofilling – is possible.
As a rule, surgical interventions are performed under general anesthesia; the patient first undergoes a medical examination, and the volume of anesthesia is selected.
How to prepare for breast asymmetry plastic surgery?
Preparation for surgery is no different from preparation for other plastic interventions under general anesthesia. First, you need to decide on the choice of a plastic surgeon to whom you will entrust the fulfillment of a long-standing desire. For clarity, you can show examples of mammoplasty and breast asymmetry correction work that you like. During the consultation, you will be able to discuss details in terms of choosing a surgical method and preparing for it.
After this, you will need to undergo a preoperative examination, because all manipulations are performed under general anesthesia. To do this, you need to pass Standard “M” at the Pirogov Clinic, which includes all laboratory tests and instrumental examinations. Upon completion, you will be scheduled for a consultation with a general practitioner to obtain admission to the operation and a consultation with an anesthesiologist to clarify the details of future anesthesia.
You must refrain from eating 12 hours before surgery, and you can drink some water the day before surgery. The patient is admitted to the clinic according to the operating schedule, but, as a rule, in the first half of the day.
Recovery after plastic surgery for breast asymmetry
The postoperative period takes about 4 weeks, during which the patient must wear shapewear and also follow the surgeon’s recommendations in limiting physical activity, visiting the solarium, bathhouse and sauna.
Also during this period, it is recommended to sleep exclusively on your back, so as not to injure your chest. After 1-1.5 months, the swelling will subside, and the woman will be able to evaluate the result of the work done. The rehabilitation period finally ends after 2-3 months, and the patient can return to her usual lifestyle. Make an appointment
