Breast Asymmetry Correction Overview

Causes range from genetics and hormonal changes to pregnancy, breastfeeding, or previous surgeries. Breast asymmetry correction, offered by Dr. Joshua B.

Breast Asymmetry Q&As 

Will my results look natural even if one breast needs more work than the other?

Can breast asymmetry correction help with uneven nipple height or shape?

If I’m self-conscious about my asymmetry but haven’t had children yet, should I wait?

Will one side heal differently or faster than the other?

What if I’ve had prior surgery and now have new or worsening asymmetry?

Will my results look natural even if one breast needs more work than the other?

Absolutely. One of the most rewarding aspects of breast asymmetry correction is creating balance while respecting your natural anatomy. I often use a combination of surgical techniques—such as a lift on one side and a reduction or implant on the other—to create symmetry. The goal is never to make your breasts identical but rather to achieve natural-looking harmony that complements your overall physique. Each patient’s anatomy is different, so I customize the approach to ensure the outcome is as balanced and beautiful as possible.

Can breast asymmetry correction help with uneven nipple height or shape?

Yes, it can. Nipple position, size, and projection are crucial elements in achieving a symmetrical breast appearance. During surgery, I carefully assess and, when needed, reposition the nipple-areolar complex for improved alignment. Whether one nipple sits higher or points in a different direction, I incorporate fine adjustments that contribute to a more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing result.

If I’m self-conscious about my asymmetry but haven’t had children yet, should I wait?

That’s a very personal decision, and I help patients navigate it during consultation. If the asymmetry is significantly affecting your confidence or comfort, there’s no strict need to wait. However, pregnancy and breastfeeding can alter breast size and shape, so I’ll walk you through how your goals may evolve with future life stages. Together, we can decide on a surgical plan that balances your current desires with long-term flexibility.

Will one side heal differently or faster than the other?

It’s not uncommon for one breast to feel or appear slightly different during the initial healing phase, especially if different techniques are used on each side. However, this typically evens out with time. I monitor healing closely and provide tailored aftercare to support both sides equally. My team and I are always here to answer questions and offer reassurance during your recovery.

What if I’ve had prior surgery and now have new or worsening asymmetry?

That’s something I treat regularly. Whether you've had a prior breast augmentation, lift, or reduction, I can help correct asymmetry caused by implant shifts, scar tissue, or natural body changes over time. Revision procedures can be very effective when done with precision and a thoughtful approach. During our consultation, we’ll review your history and imaging, and I’ll explain the safest and most effective options for correction.
