Many women come to Dr. Robert Kearney, who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery, with this complaint.
Minor differences in size, shape, or position are normal. However, significant asymmetry can impact confidence and comfort.
The good news is that a breast lift or mastopexy can correct this issue and create a more balanced appearance.
What Causes Breast Asymmetry?
Breast asymmetry refers to noticeable differences between the breasts. This may include variations in size, shape, or how the breasts sit on the chest.
This problem can be due to natural development, changes following pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or aging. For many women, significant differences in breast shape, size, or position can create dissatisfaction and a desire for a more balanced look.
How a Breast Lift Can Improve Symmetry
A breast lift raises and reshapes the breasts, making them look more youthful and proportionate. The surgery involves:
- Removing excess skin
- Repositioning breast tissue
- Enhancing breast contour
During the procedure, Dr. Kearney will take careful measurements and make adjustments as needed to ensure both breasts align as evenly as possible. He may also reshape the areola and nipples for a balanced final appearance.
Who Is a Good Breast Lift Candidate?
An ideal breast lift candidate is a woman who:
- Is generally healthy and experiencing breast sagging
- Has realistic expectations for the procedure’s outcomes
- Is a non-smoker
- Is looking to improve breast shape and position without significant volume changes
Women with considerable asymmetry or additional volume concerns can also combine a breast lift with other procedures, such as augmentation or reduction. This tailored approach helps patients achieve an even, proportionate look that matches their aesthetic goals.
