Breast Asymmetry Correction

Introduction to Breast Asymmetry Correction Surgery

Research shows that approximately 90% of women have some form of asymmetry of the breasts. Of that 90%, approximately 25% have at least one cup size variation between breasts, while 5-10% demonstrate a larger or more apparent discrepancy. Asymmetry can also be the result of the shape and/or the position of the chest. Breast asymmetry correction surgery can help alleviate this imbalance and achieve a more symmetrical figure. East Coast Advanced Plastic Surgery has made the ECAPS Center for Breast Reconstruction the focus of our practice since its inception. If you are considering a procedure like breast asymmetry correction in the New Jersey and New York areas, the surgeons at ECAPS will offer you exceptional knowledge, experience, and understanding at every stage of the process.

What is Breast Asymmetry Correction Surgery?

Breast Asymmetry Correction Surgery is a corrective procedure that aims to match the size and shape of both breasts. The patient chooses one of their breasts as the model breast, and the surgeon matches the other breast to it, either doing a breast reduction, a breast lift, or a breast augmentation with implants or fat transfer. Breast asymmetry is a common condition in which one breast is of a different size, shape, or position compared to the other. This condition can result from a variety of factors, including developmental issues, hormonal changes, and previous surgeries. Other contributing factors may include genetics, trauma, or medical conditions that impact breast tissue growth. Women with breast asymmetry may notice a difference in the appearance of their breasts, such as uneven nipples, noticeable size discrepancies, or an uneven position on the chest. This condition is typically diagnosed through a physical examination by a qualified plastic surgeon. Additional imaging tests, such as mammograms or ultrasounds, may be used to evaluate the breast tissue further.

What Are the Benefits of Breast Asymmetry Correction Surgery?

Breast asymmetry correction surgery in the New Jersey and New York area offers multiple benefits:

  • Enhanced Appearance: Achieve a more balanced and harmonious breast appearance, which can significantly boost self-confidence.
  • Improved Clothing Fit: Clothing and swimwear fit more comfortably, providing a more flattering appearance.
  • Symmetry Restoration: Correct uneven breasts to improve the overall aesthetic and achieve your personalized aesthetic goals.
  • Customizable Options: Choose from a variety of breast procedures, including implants, reductions, or lifts, to achieve the desired outcome.

Who Are the Best Candidates For Breast Asymmetry Correction Surgery?

You may be a good candidate for breast asymmetry correction surgery in the New Jersey and New York areas if one or more of the following are true:

  • Your breasts are fully developed.
  • You are in good physical condition and can withstand major surgery
  • The asymmetry of your breasts bothers you
  • Your nipples are not located in an equal position on your chest
  • One of your breasts is noticeably larger than the other

What’s the first step?

The first step in getting a Breast Asymmetry Correction Surgery in the New Jersey and New York areas is to schedule a consultation with one of our expert surgeons at an ECAPS office close to you. During your one-on-one consultation with a surgeon, you will go over these considerations to ensure that your surgery is a success: your full medical history, including any medical conditions, previous surgeries or treatments, drug allergies, current medications, and use of alcohol, tobacco, or illegal substances.

There are many ways to correct breast asymmetry. In some cases, breast implant surgery to augment the smaller breast may be necessary. In other instances, breast reduction surgery on the larger of the two breasts may be a better option. During your consultation, your skilled cosmetic surgeon will help you determine the best type of corrective surgery for you, taking into account your body shape, breast tissue, and your goals for your body.

Breast Asymmetry Correction Considerations

The following factors are also important to consider before undergoing breast asymmetry correction surgery:

  • Weight Loss: If you plan to lose a significant amount of weight, you should inform your plastic surgeon. Changes in your size may affect your results, so weight loss is recommended before surgery.
  • Age: Breast asymmetry procedures can be performed on a patient of any age, but East Coast Advanced cosmetic surgeons recommend that you wait until breast development has stopped before planning any correction surgeries.
  • Pregnancy: Pregnancy can cause unpredictable breast changes that could affect the long-term results of your surgery, so it is important to tell your doctor about any plans you have to conceive. It is also important to note that certain breast symmetry surgery techniques have better results than others for those planning to breastfeed in the future.

What to Expect on the Day of Breast Asymmetry Correction Surgery

On the day of your Breast Asymmetry Correction Surgery in the New Jersey and New York areas, your surgeon and their medical staff will welcome you to the facility at ECAPS and get you settled in the procedure room. You will review the treatment plan again if you have any final questions and/or concerns. Once you are ready, an anesthetist will administer anesthesia so that you are pain-free.

Once sedated, your surgeon will begin the procedure as previously decided during the consultation. Depending on which breast you decide to match, your surgeon might have to do either an augmentation, a reduction, or a lift to the other breast. For augmentation, if you opt for fat transfer, they may also need to perform liposuction to extract the fat from a predetermined harvest area of the body.

Depending on the complexity of the surgery, it typically takes between one and three hours to complete.

Breast Asymmetry Correction Surgery Recovery

Breast asymmetry correction is typically performed as an outpatient surgery under general anesthesia. You should be permitted to go home within one day, and you will be able to walk immediately following surgery.

Your breasts will likely be wrapped in gauze dressings or a surgical bra. These gauze dressings will be removed within several days, and you may then be required to wear a supportive garment to protect the area. Swelling and discoloration may occur but are expected to improve within approximately three weeks. It is essential to remember that not all recovery processes are the same, and your experience may vary depending on your specific circumstances. Following your surgery, you will be sent home with detailed care instructions to ensure a successful recovery process.

Your East Coast Advanced Plastic Surgery surgeon will be there to support you through every step of the process, from initial consultation to recovery.
