Breast Asymmetry Correction Surgery: The Solution to Uneven Breasts

What causes breast asymmetry?

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.

Is breast asymmetry bad?

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.

What breast procedures can address asymmetry?

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.

Breast Asymmetry Correct

Breast reconstruction for asymmetric breasts

Dr. Saber is skilled in cosmetic procedures, but also highly trained in reconstructive surgery. If your breast asymmetry is a result of injury, breast cancer, or surgery, breast reconstruction can restore your breast symmetry.

Breast augmentation to correct breast asymmetry

If you’d like to equalize your breast size by matching your smaller breast to the larger one, breast enhancement might fit your needs. Using breast implants or fat transfer, we can enhance the smaller breast to restore symmetry.

Reduction breast asymmetry surgery

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.

Breast lifts and breast asymmetry

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.

Why do people get breast asymmetry correction surgery?

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.

    I was fortunate to find Dr. Saber after researching board-certified surgeons who specialize in breast cancer reconstruction revision surgery. I knew I was in good hands from the moment I spoke with the lovely and efficient Marlene, Dr Saber's office manager. Dr Saber patiently listened to my concerns and, after examining me, explained what I could realistically expect the outcome to be from another surgery. She also explained to me that she would need to review my previous surgery notes before we could discuss a possible further surgery, which I found comforting and highly ethical. I also discussed a couple of other procedures that I would like done, including fat removal from my large upper arms that had caused me great embarrassment for several years. Dr. Saber is an excellent surgeon who is incredibly kind and genuine. She truly understands the female body and the emotional aspect of body insecurities yet, she is transparent about what can and cannot be done and takes time to discuss realistic expectations and outcomes. My breast reconstruction revision surgery will take place in the New Year, but in the meantime, I have the most fabulous upper arms that I recently flaunted in a strapless dress (something I have not done in years). Dr Saber is truly one of a kind, and I still cannot believe how fortunate I am to have found her. I highly recommend Dr Saber.

    I don’t have enough wonderful words to describe Dr Saber and Marlene! I had a tummy tuck done this year and from start to finish the entire experience was amazing. Marlene is always so helpful and works so hard to make every detail a breeze for you. When I had my consultation with Dr Saber I was at a point of complete agony with my body. She instantly took that stress and frustration off my shoulders! As a woman not being heard by doctors for years I left that consultation with happy tears knowing I had finally found my Dr. It was a major surgery and I felt completely zen and at peace going in because she really does make you feel that safe. I didn’t think I would ever look the way I do now! She gave me the gift of having the body I kept fighting for. I will never stop recommending her.

    I saw Dr. Saber when I broke my wrist. I ended up having to have surgery. She did an excellent job and I am healing nicely. She was very professional, but was also very kind and compassionate. I would highly recommend her!!

    I LOVED DR SABER!!! There are a few reasons why I chose her. One was because she’s a female Doctor that was my goal who also did a good job (which I was able to confirm with all her before and after photos) and what sold me was my safety in mind. She made me feel like I was in the best hands ever along with Marlene who coordinated everything THANK YOU LADIES! Dr Saber helped me get back the body I have always desired. I had a lot of stomach fat from weight gain and I lost weight so a lot of my weight was in my front lower and upper abdomen. Now I have a super beautiful curvy body like an hourglass after a tummy tuck and lipo she did. She understood the assignment hahaha . I’m 32 years old no kids just wanted to enjoy my younger body looking and feeling beautiful and she really took good care of me. Even after hours I had an emergency due to my fault but she was there and got back to me very quickly and I’m very grateful. I also think her work says a lot because I stopped taking pain medication on the 3rd day after surgery and was fine with very minimal pain I was able to tolerate the healing process. Highly recommend going with her I just had a wonderful experience and would do it all over again if I had too. Maybe after I have kids. Thanks Dr Saber and team <3

    Dr.Saber is by far one of the best plastic surgeons. I love how she takes her time to explain any procedure to the patients understanding. She always makes sure to answers any and all questions.From fillers to body contours she’s the one you want.

    Dr Saber is amazing! She is caring and very informative. I went in for fillers and she explained procedure step by step. I highly recommend her and look forward to future visits.

    Dr. Saber was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. She took time to listen, answer all my questions and was forthright in her recommendations. Her staff was friendly and helpful. I was very happy with the results and plan on going back. If you are looking for a first rate professional experience look no further she is the doctor for you!

    Dr. Saber is one of a kind plastic surgeon with a heart of gold. She is a well verse plastic surgeon that puts her patient's needs before anything else. She genuinely cares about every single patient, and her work speaks for itself. I notice every post-operative result on her Instagram (@saberplasticsurgery) the patients have this glow that radiates through. I have been going to Dr. Saber for my Botox for the past 3 years, and love the results every time. I know who I will be going to for any future plastic surgery needs, and will confidently refer family and friends to Dr. Saber for any Botox, fillers, and plastic surgery consultations.

    I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Saber! I am so pleased with my results from a breast augmentation she performed on me back in late June! She answered all my questions and concerns before and after my surgery. She’s very easy to get in contact with and she’s so nice. She made feel so comfortable throughout the whole process. 100/10 Lover her work!!

    Dr Saber is hands down the best surgeon! She took her time answering my questions and explained procedure in detail. After doing liposuction six months ago, I am extremely happy with my results and I appreciate her so much.

    Dr. Saber is so kind and thorough with her patients! She is an amazing doctor and genuinely cars about everyone she comes in contact with. I would recommend her to anyone for any hand surgery or cosmetic procedure.
