BREAST ASYMMETRY
Understanding and Addressing Uneven Breasts
Breast asymmetry—a difference in size, shape, or position between the breasts—is extremely common. In fact, around 95% of women have some degree of asymmetry, though for many, it's barely noticeable. For others, especially where there is a difference of one cup size or more, it can affect confidence and comfort in clothing, swimwear, or day-to-day life.
What are the causes of breast asymmetry
- Congenital: Conditions such as unilateral underdevelopment, accessory nipples, or Poland Syndrome, which may also involve chest wall or hand abnormalities
- Acquired: Due to developmental changes, trauma, or surgery
- Differences can involve volume, nipple position, breast shape, or even rib cage structure
Treatment options for breast Asymmetry
Correction techniques vary based on the type and extent of asymmetry, and may include:
- Volume enhancement (implants or fat transfer)
- Tissue reshaping or reduction
- Nipple repositioning (areola)
- Combination procedures tailored to your unique anatomy
While some techniques may involve more noticeable scarring, others may subtly improve symmetry without major changes to breast shape. It’s important to remember that results may change over time due to aging and gravity.
Mr Mark Ho-Asjoe is highly experienced in breast reconstruction and asymmetry correction. After a thorough consultation and examination, he will recommend the most suitable approach for your individual needs and goals.
Aftercare and recovery
Following breast asymmetry surgery, proper aftercare is essential to support healing and optimise your results.
- Wear a sports bra (without underwire or side support) day and night for six weeks
- Avoid physical activity, including running, heavy lifting, or strenuous work during this period
These guidelines help reduce swelling, support the reshaped tissue, and ensure the best possible outcome.
