What is breast asymmetry and how can different sized breast implants help correct this?

Many women experience slight differences between their breasts. These dissimilarities, known as asymmetry, can range from slightly noticeable to very obvious. Asymmetry may affect the breast size, shape, or placement of the nipple.

Breast augmentation can help improve asymmetry by using different sized implants to create an appearance of breast equality and balance. If unequal amounts of breast tissue are responsible for the asymmetry, this corrective measure can drastically help patients achieve a more proportioned appearance.

Breast implants come in both saline and silicone. Empty saline implants are placed in the breasts and are filled in during surgery, while silicone implants are inserted pre-filled. Saline implants offer the distinct advantage of precise volume management, an important consideration when it comes to correcting pre-operative breast asymmetry. The amount of volume in saline implants can be adjusted individually, providing optimal control when it comes to creating smooth symmetry between both breasts.

During a complimentary consultation, Dr. Jazayeri can discuss the implant selections, as well as the choices for incision placement. Breast implants come in a variety of shapes, textures, and profiles, providing a range of options for each individual.

Please feel free to schedule an appointment at the Élan Institute for Plastic Surgery in Orange County to discuss how breast augmentation can help balance the appearance of both breasts and create greater body symmetry.
