Dr. Saber’s Blog
While some people may be surprised to hear it, most women have some degree of natural breast asymmetry.
However, some women can have breasts of distinctly different sizes or shapes. Asymmetric breasts can be caused by genetics, injury, medical conditions, cancer, or even just natural changes from breastfeeding!
In truly unfortunate circumstances, breast augmentation surgery can go wrong and cause your breasts to be uneven or different sizes.
If uneven breasts are impacting your self-confidence or impacting your ability to confidently wear bras or swimwear, there are solutions available. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Saber excels in cosmetic surgery procedures to correct breast asymmetry.
As previously mentioned, most women don’t have perfectly symmetrical breasts. Unless your asymmetry is the result of a medical condition or a warning sign of cancer, there is no medical risk caused by breast asymmetry.
That being said, finding a good-fitting bra is hard enough as it is; having breasts of different cup sizes can make it almost impossible to find comfortable bras and swimsuits. Many people also feel self-conscious about their differently-sized breasts.
Patients who come to us looking to correct asymmetry in their breasts are generally looking to boost their self-confidence and improve how they look and feel in their clothes. During your consultation with Dr. Saber, she’ll go over your concerns and goals to create a treatment plan that matches your needs.
Depending on the cause of your breast asymmetry, the appearance of your breasts, and your appearance goals, there are many surgical options we can choose from.

If you’d like to reduce your larger breast to match the smaller one, breast reduction might be what you’re looking for. We can remove excess skin and breast tissue and use liposuction to extract fat from the larger breast.
If one of your breasts has begun to sag, a breast lift can bring it back into balance with its partner. A breast lift removes excess skin to tighten up the breast and return it to a more perky position. While a breast lift actually makes your breast smaller, it can restore a youthful fullness.

As previously mentioned, many patients feel self-conscious about their uneven breasts. And there are tons of changes that can occur over the course of a lifetime that can cause asymmetry.
The big changes are: age, pregnancy, and weight changes. These changes can cause your breasts to grow or shrink. While your body is pretty good at keeping itself balanced, weight loss might cause one breast to lose more volume than the other or one breast may grow more during pregnancy.
When body changes don’t affect your breasts equally, you can end up with asymmetry.
