Breast Asymmetry in
San Diego & La Jolla
Breast asymmetry is a common condition where a woman’s breasts differ in size, shape, or position. For many women, this natural variation is minimal and barely noticeable. However, for others, the asymmetry may be more pronounced, affecting self-confidence and comfort in clothing. At True Beauty, we understand that achieving balance and symmetry in your appearance is important to feeling your best. Fortunately, various surgical options can help address uneven breasts and restore harmony to your figure.
Types of Breast Asymmetry
Breast asymmetry can take different forms, which may be observed in the following ways:
- Size Discrepancy: One of the most common forms of breast asymmetry occurs when one breast is noticeably larger or smaller than the other. This difference may be minor or more significant, leading to concerns about appearance in fitted clothing or swimsuits.
- Shape Variation: Sometimes, the breasts may differ in shape, with one breast being rounder or fuller while the other appears more elongated or flatter. This type of asymmetry can be noticeable in both the upper and lower breast regions.
- Position or Nipple Height: Some women may experience differences in the height or position of their breasts or nipples, which can create an uneven appearance. This type of asymmetry may also involve variations in the location of the inframammary fold (the crease beneath the breast).
Plastic Surgery Options for Correcting Breast Asymmetry
For women who are self-conscious about uneven breasts, several surgical options are available to create a more symmetrical and balanced appearance. At True Beauty in San Diego and La Jolla, Dr. Brian personalizes treatment plans based on your unique needs and goals.
- Breast Augmentation: If one breast is significantly smaller, breast augmentation can help achieve a more even size. This procedure involves the placement of implants to increase the volume of the smaller breast, bringing it into proportion with the other.
- Breast Reduction: For women with one breast that is larger than the other, breast reduction surgery can be performed to decrease the size of the larger breast. This can help create a more balanced silhouette while alleviating any discomfort caused by excess breast tissue.
- Breast Lift: A breast lift, or mastopexy, may be recommended for women who experience differences in breast position or nipple height. This procedure involves removing excess skin and reshaping the breasts to create a more youthful, even contour.
- Combined Procedures: In some cases, a combination of breast augmentation, reduction, or lift may be necessary to achieve the desired results. Dr. Brian will work closely with you to develop a customized plan that addresses your specific concerns and delivers natural-looking results.
