There are many degrees and combinations of breast asymmetry. Some examples of asymmetric breasts include:

• Breast hypertrophy and breast hypoplasia – one large breast and one small breast
• Asymmetric breast hypoplasia – both breasts are small, one smaller than the other
• Unilateral or asymmetric breast ptosis – breast droop, or one breast hangs lower than the other
• Breast positional asymmetry – one breast may sit higher or lower than the other
• Areolar asymmetry – differences in nipple areolar size, projection, or bulge
• Tuberous breast deformity – unusual breast shape with varying degrees of breast constriction, areolar herniation, size discrepancy, and asymmetry

In some women one, several, or all of the above described may be present. To correct breast asymmetry, Dr. Unal uses a combination of breast surgery approaches. Breast enlargement, breast reduction, breast lift, and breast reshaping techniques may be used alone or in combination for correction of breast asymmetry. The plastic surgery treatment plan that is tailored to the individual’s unique anatomic requirements and personal goals is what Dr Unal aims in breast asymmetry patients.

Breast surgery approaches used in breast asymmetry

Breast Augmentation with Implants

Discrepancies in breast size can be corrected by using breast implants. The volume, shape and projection of each breast implant is chosen carefully, allowing for the meticulous adjustment of asymmetric breasts to achieve a more symmetric and natural balance.

Breast Lift

Breast lift may be necessary for a breast with a congenital droop as well as for droop or sag that has developed after pregnancy or weight loss. The best breast lift techniques will be recommended based on your specific ptosis-related asymmetry requirements.

Breast Reduction

Breast asymmetry with large breasts can be corrected with breast reduction. Reducing breast size is only one of the aspects of breast reduction surgery; the best breast reduction results are achieved through size adjustment, balancing of breast position, and enhancement of shape and projection.

Tuberous Breast Correction

Tuberous breast deformity is almost always associated with breast asymmetry. Breast reshaping, areolar balancing, and improvements in symmetry can be achieved. The best tuberous breast plastic surgery techniques are formulated for every unique anatomic unit of the breast.

There are many different types of breast asymmetry; therefore breast size, shape, and position will vary in every woman. To be able to achieve symmetric breasts, they can be lifted and shaped, smaller breasts can be enlarged, larger breasts can be reduced, breast implants may be used in one or both breasts, or no breast implants may be required at all.
