Although it is natural for women to have a mild condition of breast asymmetry, it can become a bothersome trait if the difference in size is significant. Due to various reasons, the breasts may be uneven in size and/or shape. Some of the common causes of asymmetry include hormone imbalance, trauma, breast cancer, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and/or massive weight fluctuations.

While some women may opt to create the illusion of a balanced bustline, others may choose to undergo breast augmentation surgery. In order to determine the best surgical plan, it is important to first meet with a qualified and trained plastic surgeon. During a visit, patients are examined and the cause of breast asymmetry is discussed. Based on the degree of asymmetry, either one or both breast will have saline or silicone gel filled breast implants placed. If there is sagging in the breasts as well, your surgeon may recommend the addition of breast lift surgery. Those who have suffered from breast cancer may have the option of undergoing enhancement at the same time as breast cancer surgery (“mastectomy”).
