It can enhance your appearance and confidence. Exploring how breast asymmetry treatment works can help you prepare for the procedure.
How Breast Correction Surgery Works
Breast correction surgery encompasses various techniques to address the specific type of asymmetry. The choice of technique depends on the individual’s anatomy, goals, and the surgeon’s recommendations.
- Breast augmentation: The first option for symmetry treatment is breast augmentation. Silicone or saline implants can increase the size of one or both breasts to create symmetry. Implants come in various shapes and sizes, and you can customize them to match the desired look.
Augmentation can also happen via fat transfer. Fat from another body part, such as the abdomen or thighs, can be transferred to the breast to achieve symmetry. This method provides a natural feel and avoids the use of synthetic implants.
- Breast reduction: For women with one breast significantly larger than the other, breast reduction surgery can reduce the size of the larger breast to match the smaller one. This involves removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin.
- Breast lift (Mastopexy): A breast lift can address asymmetry caused by sagging or differently positioned breasts. The procedure involves removing excess skin and reshaping the breast tissue to create a more youthful and symmetrical appearance.
- Procedure and recovery: Breast correction surgery begins with a detailed consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Dr. Walker will assess your breasts and discuss your goals.
The surgical procedure is then performed under general anesthesia and can take several hours, depending on the complexity. Your recovery times may vary, but most patients can return to normal activities within a few weeks.
