Understanding Breast Asymmetry
Breast asymmetry occurs when one breast differs in size, shape, or position compared to the other. This variation can be due to genetics, hormonal changes, pregnancy, or previous surgeries. While some degree of asymmetry is normal, noticeable differences may lead to self-consciousness or discomfort when choosing clothing or undergarments.
Breast augmentation offers a solution by using implants or fat transfer to create a more balanced and symmetrical appearance. The procedure is tailored to address your specific concerns, whether it involves increasing volume in one or both breasts, improving shape, or correcting nipple position.
How Breast Augmentation Corrects Asymmetry
Breast augmentation can help correct asymmetry by:
- Enhancing Volume – If one breast is smaller, an implant can be placed to create balance.
- Refining Shape – Implants or fat grafting can improve contour differences between the breasts.
- Adjusting Positioning – In some cases, a combination of augmentation and a breast lift can improve alignment.
- Creating Proportional Symmetry – The procedure ensures both breasts have a natural, harmonious look.
During your consultation, Dr. Walden evaluates your anatomy and aesthetic goals to determine the most effective approach. She provides a detailed surgical plan, selecting implant type, size, and placement to achieve optimal symmetry.
What to Expect from the Procedure and Recovery
Breast augmentation is typically performed under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis. The procedure lasts about one to two hours, with incisions placed discreetly to minimize visible scarring. Depending on your specific needs, implants may be placed under or over the chest muscle.
Recovery involves some swelling and discomfort for the first few days, with most patients returning to normal activities within a week. Full results become more apparent as healing progresses, revealing a more balanced, proportionate appearance.
