How to Fix Uneven Breasts

Natural Tissue Redistribution – Existing breast tissue is collected from the larger breast and transferred to the smaller one to create a better balance.
Breast Augmentation with Implants – A surgical implant can be used to increase the size of the smaller breast to match the larger one, or different-sized implants can be used in both breasts.
Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer – Unwanted fat is removed via liposuction from areas like the belly, buttocks, or thighs and transferred to the smaller breast to achieve better symmetry without using implants.
Breast Reduction – Surgery can be performed to reduce the size of the larger breast to match the smaller one, resulting in a smaller but balanced appearance.
Breast Lift – The breast’s support structures are surgically modified to adjust the resting position of the breasts, bringing them to matching positions for improved symmetry.

Regardless of the cause of your breast asymmetry, Dr. Awada will work closely with you to determine the best procedure you are a candidate for. As Michigan’s leader in plastic surgery techniques, she is highly respected by other surgeons in her field and will use her extensive experience and knowledge throughout your case.

What Causes Breast Asymmetry?

Asymmetry in the breasts is a prevalent condition, affecting approximately 50% of women at some point in their lives. It can manifest in different volumes, shapes, and positions between the breasts. While some degree of asymmetry is natural and can change throughout a woman’s life, there are several common causes:

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding – Changes in breast symmetry often become noticeable after childbirth and breastfeeding, when breasts begin returning to their pre-pregnancy size.
Natural Aging – As women mature, the breasts may change at different rates, increasing asymmetry over time.
Hormonal Changes – Fluctuations in hormone levels throughout life can affect breast tissue development and maintenance differently on each side.
Medical Conditions – Sudden or significant changes in breast symmetry should be evaluated by a doctor to rule out abnormal growths or other critical medical concerns.

Your Consultation

During your initial consultation, Dr. Awada will first attempt to understand the root cause of why your breasts are structurally different from each other. She will examine each one to determine its composition and other physical factors resulting in this disparity. Also, she will discuss what problem areas you see and the results you hope to achieve with your procedure.

What Happens During Breast Asymmetry Correction Surgery?

The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and may combine one or more of the abovementioned strategies to achieve optimal symmetry. Using her extensive experience in breast surgery, Dr. Awada ensures that the incisions are placed discreetly to minimize visible scarring. She and her surgical team prioritize patient safety and comfort throughout the procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions About Breast Asymmetry Correction

Will insurance cover breast asymmetry correction?

Insurance coverage for breast asymmetry correction varies depending on the severity of the asymmetry and your specific insurance provider’s policies. While asymmetry that causes significant physical discomfort could be covered, cosmetic alterations for minor asymmetry are typically not covered by insurance.

How long do breast asymmetry surgery results last?

The results of breast asymmetry correction surgery are typically long-lasting, provided there are no significant changes in body weight, new pregnancies, or aging effects. While natural aging will continue to affect breast tissue over time, the improved symmetry achieved through surgery generally maintains well, especially when patients keep a stable weight and follow post-operative care instructions.
