As a board-certified plastic surgeon in Richmond, I’ve helped many women address breast asymmetry. One particularly memorable case involved a young patient who drove several hours with her family to see me about her breast development concerns.
While some degree of breast asymmetry is normal, significant differences can affect physical comfort and emotional well-being.
Whether you were born with asymmetry or developed it over time, modern surgical techniques offer effective solutions for creating better balance and harmony.
How We Approach Breast Asymmetry Correction
When you visit our Richmond office for a consultation, we’ll spend time understanding your specific concerns and goals. Every woman’s anatomy is unique, and successful treatment requires a customized approach.
Through careful measurements and assessment, we create a surgical plan that addresses your individual needs.
Today’s surgical options for correcting breast asymmetry include:
- Customized Implant Selection: We can use different implant sizes and profiles to create symmetry between breasts. This approach allows us to achieve natural-looking results while maintaining proportion with your body.
- Breast Reduction: For patients with one breast significantly larger than the other, a reduction can help create a better balance. This procedure can also improve comfort and reduce strain on your neck and shoulders.
- Breast Lift: When asymmetry involves different positions of the breasts on the chest wall, a lift can help create better alignment and symmetry.
Recovery and Results for Breast Asymmetry Correction
The recovery process after breast asymmetry correction typically follows this timeline:
- First Week: You’ll need to rest and limit arm movement. Most patients can return to light activities within a few days, though you’ll need to wear a supportive sports bra.
- Weeks 2 to 3: Swelling continues to decrease, and you can gradually return to normal activities. Many women feel comfortable returning to work during this time.
- One Month and Beyond: By this point, your results will begin to take shape as the swelling continues to resolve. Your final results will develop over the next few months as your tissues settle.
How Does Breast Asymmetry Correction Affect People?
As shown in the video above, correcting breast asymmetry can profoundly impact a person’s confidence and quality of life.
My young patient is now thriving in college, enjoying a more active lifestyle, and feeling confident in her appearance.
