San Diego board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Robert Kearney, MD, FACS, specializes in breast augmentation and has extensive experience in correcting breast asymmetry using advanced surgical techniques, including endoscopic methods for a quicker recovery. Dr. Kearney combines artistry and precision to create natural, symmetrical results tailored to each patient.
Understanding Breast Asymmetry
Most women have some level of breast asymmetry, but in cases where the difference is more pronounced, it can affect confidence and clothing fit. Asymmetry may be due to genetics, hormonal changes, weight fluctuations, or past surgeries.
How Breast Augmentation Can Help
Breast augmentation is one of the most effective solutions for correcting asymmetry. Your surgeon may recommend:
- Different Implant Sizes: If one breast is smaller than the other, implants of different sizes can create a more balanced look.
- Fat Transfer Augmentation: For subtle asymmetry, fat grafting can add volume to one side for a more natural correction.
- Implant & Lift Combination: If asymmetry is due to sagging, a breast lift (mastopexy) on one or both breasts can give a more even appearance.
Choosing the Right Approach
During your consultation, Dr. Kearney will evaluate factors like breast volume, nipple position, and skin elasticity to create a customized plan. The goal is to correct asymmetry and ensure natural-looking proportions that complement your body.
What to Expect After Surgery
Recovery from breast augmentation typically takes four to six weeks, with swelling and bruising gradually subsiding. Results will continue to refine as the implants settle into place. A follow-up visit will help ensure your outcome meets your expectations.
