Breast Asymmetry

Asymmetric breasts occur in a lot of women. It is a common condition where one breast is smaller or larger than the other. Women with asymmetrical breasts often have difficulty finding clothing, a bra, or even a swimsuit that fits perfectly. While it’s not something that is life-threatening, it can make women feel self-conscious – but there is a way to address this problem. Corrective breast surgery can create more evenly shaped and sized breasts that can help with their self-confidence.

Before a breast asymmetry procedure, the patient will undergo an initial consultation with a plastic and reconstructive surgeon. The doctor will assess the patient, and provide recommendations to address the issue. Depending on what is required, the surgeon may decide to insert an implant to fill out the smaller breast and match the size of the other, but this might not be necessary and depends on the individual client.

The surgeon will discuss with the patient how the procedure will be carried out. When an implant is to be used, the doctor will determine the shape and size of the asymmetric breast prior to the surgery. He or she will explain the different implant types that are best suited for the case.

Another solution might be to reposition the areola and nipple of the smaller breast to match the other breast. However, it is important to understand that no two breasts are identical. As the saying goes, “they are sisters, not twins”. There will always be slight differences between two breasts. The surgeon will do what he or she can to make the asymmetric breast shape and size to look more alike.

The procedure is normally conducted under a general anaesthetic. The time the surgery takes should be discussed with the patient by the surgeon during the pre-surgery consultation. It is crucial to ask as many questions as possible before the procedure to ensure you understand the whole process.

What happens during recovery

The patient may feel fatigued right after the surgery. It is normal to feel some soreness around the area, and the breasts may feel tender. The surgeon may also prescribe medications to help the patient manage the pain and discomfort. A surgical bra may be worn to support the breast – some surgeons choose not to recommend a surgical support bra – it’s a personal thing.

Rest is highly recommended during the first few days following the surgery. The patient may also feel faint for several days post-procedure, and this is perfectly normal as the body is healing.

Swelling and/or bruising may be seen around the breast. It is recommended that the patient stay home to recuperate for as long as needed (usually at least a week or so). The patient might feel ready to gently return to normal activities a week or more after surgery.

The newly-shaped breast will gradually “settle” into its natural position during the healing process.

Risks and Complications

Asymmetry breast procedures are comparatively safe with extremely rare complications. As with any type of surgery, developing an infection or an adverse reaction to anaesthesia may occur. Such instances are rare, but the surgeon and their team should monitor the patient’s condition and treat the reaction or infection.

7 Top Tips for a Great Recovery After Breast Augmentation by Dr Craig Rubinstein July 20, 2022 - Recovery after Breast Augmentation with Dr Craig Rubinstein, Specialist Plastic Surgeon and Breast Expert in Melbourne Did you know that around the world, more than 70% of women are unhappy with how their breasts look? Many women consider breast cosmetic surgery as the logical solution – and for good reason. Not only does a breast augmentation make your breasts larger, it can also make them look perky and fuller. Here are some tips for recovery after breast augmentation. Below are Dr Craig Rubinstein’s tips to ensure you have the best possible recovery, allowing you to enjoy great results – as soon as possible! Breast Augmentation is a procedure that is done under general anaesthesia. According to Dr Rubinstein, the first week, especially the first three to five days, can be the most uncomfortable. Pain, bruising and swelling is at their peak during this time. After a week, any sutures or drains (if used) will be removed, and you’ll start to notice that most of the pain, bruising, and swelling have reduced significantly. “Most women are comfortable enough to return to office work and light duties at the 7 to 10-day mark.” In the few weeks following your Breast […]

What to look for in a Breast Surgeon by Dr Craig Rubinstein April 29, 2022 - What to look for in a Breast Surgeon – Find an Experienced Specialist Choosing a surgeon for any breast surgery can be a little overwhelming. How do you know that you’re choosing the right one? It’s a lot of money to spend on yourself, especially if you aren’t happy with the final outcome. We chatted to one of Australia’s most respected specialist plastic surgeons, Dr Craig Rubinstein from Coco Ruby Plastic Surgery in Hawthorn Victoria, to ask him what to look for in a breast surgeon to help make your decision a little easier. Qualifications and Training The first thing you want to ensure is that your surgeon is a Specialist Plastic Surgeon, not a Cosmetic Surgeon. Any doctor can call themselves a Cosmetic Surgeon, but you want one that has done the specialist training required to perform Plastic Surgery. The difference in your results and experience will almost certainly be significant. You increase your risk by choosing a doctor or “Cosmetic Surgeon” over a Specialist Plastic Surgeon. Dr Rubinstein says, “Cosmetic Surgeons can be GPs, Dermatologists and in some cases Dentists! You are trusting someone to alter your appearance and operate on you under an anaesthetic. You need to […]

Dropping and Fluffing – What to expect post Breast Augmentation with Dr Kumar April 13, 2022 - What is Dropping and Fluffing after Breast Augmentation? If you are looking at getting breast implants you might have heard of the term “drop and fluff” . You might not have. Either way, if you are planning to have or have had a breast augmentation you need to know what it is. It’s a term used to describe what your breasts and new breast implants do after a breast augmentation. To tell us more about dropping and fluffing and what to expect post-breast augmentation, we spoke to Dr Rohit Kumar, Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon in Sydney NSW. Dropping and Fluffing is a completely normal part of breast augmentation recovery After all your planning, anticipation and then actually having the procedure, you’re super excited about checking out your new boobs only to wake up from the anaesthetic and look down and see some overly high-riding boobs that feel super tight as though they might pop out of your chest. Your muscles will feel tight, you will have swelling and you might freak out a little because you think they don’t look at all like you expected. Relax. You’re not alone. There are a few things that need to happen to your new […]

Options for Breast Augmentation Revision Surgery with Dr Nick Moncrieff April 5, 2022 - A number of women who have undergone Breast Augmentation may find – especially after many years / weight fluctuation / or pregnancy that they are not 100% happy with their breasts. The good news is something can be done for a majority of these women. According to Hunter Plastic Surgery’s Dr Moncrieff, the solutions vary from patient to patient. For instance, when it comes to removing or replacing breast implants, “everyone woman is different and may or may not seek revision at different points in time. As a general rule, it reasonable to expect 10 or more years from a breast augmentation procedure. After that is when women start looking at a change for reasons more closely related to changes in their body shape post weight changes and babies, than problems with their implants.” “While some patients may seek a revision before the 10-year mark, we have known other patients who have gone decades happily with their original implants,” added Dr Moncrieff. Complications which may arise after breast augmentation include implant rupture and capsular contracture, which will require an implant removal revision surgery. If you are experiencing complications, it is suggested, where possible, you contact your original surgeon or an […]

What is the Inframammary Fold, and how does it affect breast surgery? with Dr Miroshnik January 9, 2022 - So, what is the Inframammary Fold (IMF), and how does it affect breast surgery? You may or may not have heard of the inframammary fold but it plays a big part in any type of breast surgery. It is considered one of the most important aspects to the aesthetic appearance of the breast. You also may or may not be aware of the terms “upper pole” and “lower pole” which refer to the fullness of the upper or lower breast and is largely affected by the positioning of the inframammary fold. Dr Michael Miroshnik, Plastic Surgeon based in Sydney NSW took time out of his day to help us understand what these terms mean, why your surgeon should be talking about them with you at your consultation and how they affect what your final breast surgery results will be. The Inframammary Fold (IMF) Dr Miroshnik says the IMF is always on the agenda at every industry breast meeting including the Breast Masters Symposium held at the end of 2018. “The inframammary fold is always a big topic because it defines the lower pole of the breast and we all know any problems will involve the inframammary fold in one way […]

Elizabeth’s Breast Augmentation in USA December 16, 2021 - I had my breast augmentation in December 2013, at Georgia Plastic Surgery in Atlanta Georgia. I am 23 years old (I was 22 when I had surgery) and 5’11” tall weighing 160 lbs. The surgery was a graduation gift to myself as I had graduated from college in May 2013 with my nursing degree. I have always been a very active person. I have been a dancer ever since I was 5, and danced all through my childhood and continued on my college’s competitive dance team. While I really liked the tall, thin, body with a little wider frame, my small breasts always bothered me. I was basically flat chested all through high school, until the middle of my senior year. At that point I had already made up my mind that I wanted to get my breasts done. Once they started to grow, I wanted to see how big I would get before having surgery. My breasts slowly grew over the next year to be a 36 medium A. By now I was busy with college and decided to wait for surgery. Finally senior year of college came around, and I started to work out more than in the […]

What is Capsular Contracture? Dr Jeremy Hunt explains… November 30, 2021 - Capsular Contracture will develop in a small percentage of women who have breast implants. About three quarters of these will happen in the first two years after breast augmentation surgery. It can also happen as a result of implant rupture any number of years after the implants are inserted. Dr Jeremy Hunt, Plastic Surgeon from Wollongng and Edgecliff NSW, can help us understand what is capsular contracture and how to deal with it. What is Capsular Contracture? Capsular contracture is the hardening of the collagen layer that normally forms around a breast implant. All implants will develop a capsule, and the problem is when this capsule becomes thickened and feels firmer – this is capsular contracture. Scar tissue forms a lining around every breast implant; saline or silicone; as a natural reaction to what is a foreign material within the body. This lining is called a capsule, and it is when this capsule of scar tissue contracts and tightens onto the breast implant that capsular contracture occurs. It can be caused from a few triggers such as infection, trauma to the implant, the implant being too big without enough skin to cover it, radiation exposure and other reasons; however, sometimes […]

Jess’ Patient Story – Body Lift & Breast Surgery after Massive Weight Loss November 18, 2021 - Patient Story – Body Lift & Breast Surgery after Massive Weight Loss Before I had my Gastric Sleeve surgery in 2011, I asked the opinions of friends and family. What did they think of the surgery, would it help me, was it appropriate for me, could I do something so drastic, could I lose weight, could I stick to a healthy diet? I genuinely wanted to know what the people I cared about most thought about my future. After careful research, most of them were really positive and encouraging. Some told me that I was a cheater, and that I was taking the easy way out. I didn’t listen to those negative and nasty people. If they preferred me sick or dead because of my weight than me having surgery to help myself, then there was no longer room for them in my life. You find out who your real friends are when you are going through a tough time. As hard as it is, it’s best to wipe these people from your life. A lion doesn’t lose sleep over the opinions of sheep. If I had listened to those people and what they wanted, I would still be morbidly […]

Diane’s Story – Breast Augmentation / Tummy Tuck with Dr Mark Moore November 11, 2021 - Diane had struggled with her weight for years. She always had trouble doing her jeans up at the waist. After having her first child at the age of 23 Diane’s weight started spiraling out of control, and by the time she was 47 years of age Diane reached her maximum weight of 119.3kg. Just 165cm in height, with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 44, this made Diane morbidly obese. In January of 2013, Diane decided she’d had enough and had her first Sleeve Gastrectomy (Gastric Sleeve) done. By October of that year, Diane had lost 38kg! However, this is where things started to get complicated. After losing the first lot of weight, Diane hit a plateau and no matter what she did couldn’t lose any more weight. She changed diets and dieticians, watched what she ate down to the calorie, and continued with a healthy exercise plan. However, no matter what she did she could just not lose any more weight. Diane went back to her doctor, who did a few tests and agreed that it did not look or feel right, based on where she should be at this stage after the first Gastric Sleeve procedure. He sent […]

How Long do Breast Implants actually last? Dr Gavin Sandercoe answers October 28, 2021 - The Lifespan of a Breast Implant When you are considering a breast augmentation and start looking at all the information regarding breast implants on the internet it can be overwhelming trying to sort out the truth from the misinformation. A common question asked is, “how long do breast implants last?” This can be a difficult question to answer and indeed you find varying answers on the web. Every patient is different and depending on the implants, your surgeon and you; it can vary. There seems to be a lot of reports that they only last approximately 10 years but in reality most implants last a lot longer. Dr Gavin Sandercoe, Specialist Plastic Surgeon from Bella Vista in NSW says, “Until a few years ago, patients may have been led to believe that breast implants would last a life time. In a response to this criticism, breast implant manufacturers have begun to be more proactive in informing patients that any implanted device should not be considered a lifetime device. Most reputable manufacturers suggest that ten years should be the time until consideration prior to implant assessment, and sometimes replacement. This is based on the CORE studies that report an incidence of […]

Elle’s Breast Augmentation Surgery with Dr Jeremy Hunt in Sydney October 11, 2021 - Elle had a breast augmentation with Dr Jeremy Hunt, Plastic Surgeon in Sydney and she looks absolutely amazing. I chatted to her about her journey and she shares heaps of valuable info about her experience. Trish: Hello listeners. Well, I’m here today with the lovely Elle. And Elle is actually from … I presume she’s from Sydney. But Elle just recently had a breast augmentation surgery with Dr Jeremy Hunt, Specialist Plastic Surgeon in Sydney.

Elle: So a few years ago I was really quite overweight. And after losing about 30 kilos, I also lost my […]

Breast Asymmetry with Dr Jeremy Hunt – Different Sized Breasts? October 6, 2021 - There’s lots of attention on making breasts bigger with augmentation or making them smaller with a reduction, but there’s many women who’d settle for just having their breasts the same size. Whether it’s because of breast feeding, or they might have always been lopsided, having uneven breasts can be a cause of embarrassment and have many side effects such as insecurity in the bedroom. Dr Jeremy Hunt, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon based in Edgecliff NSW performs loads of breast procedures each year to even up asymmetrical breasts and talks to us about what’s involved. Why are some boobs and nipples different sizes? Firstly, it is estimated that over half the women around the world have asymmetrical or uneven boobs or nipples. So, you’re in good company! It’s perfectly normal and most humans have some sort of body asymmetry whether it’s unmatching fingers, toes, boobs or anything else. So most of the time the cause of asymmetry is just nature. Sometimes it may become more pronounced or obvious with hormonal changes during puberty, breastfeeding, because of benign lumps or even breast cancer. Don’t be alarmed by this last one though, as the majority of women just have uneven boobs and nipples […]

Jess’ Breast Augmentation Patient Story with Dr Eddy Dona October 2, 2021 - Breast Augmentation Patient Story Jess has been through a total of 4 breast augmentation procedures. Size was a question she asked herself. How big is big enough? She was 21 when she first went in for her first procedure. Growing up she always had a small bust as a B cup. She says of her first breast augmentation procedure she had implants of 350 cc that took her up to a D cup. “At the time I was a bit naïve, I didn’t think there was much difference between a cosmetic surgeon and a plastic surgeon – and if I had known it would have saved a lot of headache”. Explains Jess. “This first surgeon I went to was really, really crap – one of my boobs was a lot higher than the other one and the other one had deflated. So obviously he had to do another surgery, but after that they still just didn’t look right. One was still way higher and this surgeon kept telling me – “they’re not twins, they’re sisters” but they were very far off from even being sisters. Now looking back at the photos- they were terrible. By about 2cm my right one […]

Bridalplasty – Pre Wedding Plastic Surgery June 29, 2021 - Considering Plastic Surgery before the Wedding? Every bride wants to look her very best on her wedding day and there couldn’t be a better way to look like a million bucks than a little nip tuck and minor cosmetic enhancements. Great candidates for plastic surgery, brides-to-be are most likely to be young, healthy and highly motivated. ‘Bridalplasty,’ as this phenomenon is now termed, has caught on like wildfire. However, it’s not just the brides who are opting for chemical peels, microdermabrasion, laser hair removal or the all-time favorite Anti-wrinkle injections, but also the grooms and the mothers and fathers of the couple-to-be, and in some instances, the whole wedding entourage as well. Bridalplasty – Pre Wedding Plastic Surgery Pre-wedding plastic surgery procedures including breast augmentation, liposuction, a tummy tuck, etc. are also quite common nowadays. After all, which bride wouldn’t want to look pretty on her special day; the milestone event which means the end of “singleness” for many young women? With the busy wedding season already around the corner, there is a massive increase in the number of people who make appointments for cosmetic procedures. Bridalplasty procedures help people appear more youthful, contour their bodies, and give them an […]

Eliza’s Story – I’m having my breast implants taken out May 1, 2021 - Eliza’s story is one that every woman thinking about breast implants should read. She has bravely decided her implants are not for her and she is in the process of having them taken out. “I have implants and I’m having them completely taken out.” Eliza got her breast implants when she was 23 years old. She was a competitive runner for most of the early years of her life. With weight and fitness taken into account she was completely flat chested and opted to have a breast augmentation that would take her boobs up to a 12DD. “At 23 I decided I wanted to give up competitive running and change my looks, get a boyfriend and the whole shebang. I would say that it is something that I did rush into” explains Eliza. Eliza is now 27 and is going into surgery to have her implants taken out. “I was at a stage in my life where I was completely lacking in confidence. I just thought that getting breasts would perhaps make me feel better. Since I had the boob job four years ago my confidence has grown a lot, but the kind of guys that are attracted to me […]

Chloe’s New Nose and Breasts with Dr Jeremy Hunt April 24, 2021 - Chloe had a rhinoplasty and breast augmentation with Dr Jeremy Hunt in Edgecliff, NSW. Her journey was ultimately successful, however Chloe has some awesome insights that might help others looking at similar procedures. Having a highly regarded surgeon such as Dr Jeremy Hunt played no small part in ensuring Chloe had the outcome she had dreamed of. We asked Chloe some questions about her experience. PSH: What prompted you, or was your motivation to have plastic surgery? Chloe: My nose is something which has bothered me ever since I was in primary school. It was hooked and lacked femininity. I have always been self conscious about it and this sounds very cliche, but I would daydream a lot about what it must be like to be a girl with, not even a perfect nose, just one that wasn’t so overpowering on my face. My breasts were less of a worry for me. I had always thought if I had the chance, I would make them larger, and adjust the asymmetry. They weren’t the driver for having the surgery – my nose was; but since I would be going under the knife anyway, I thought why not. Did your plastic surgery […]

Are Compression Garments Necessary after Plastic Surgery? – Dr Gavin Sandercoe April 13, 2021 - Postoperative care is crucial to a full recovery after any plastic surgery procedure. Following the surgeon’s instructions will help reduce the risk of complications and ensure you get your desired results. Part of post-surgery care often involves compression garments, which are worn during the recovery period. Not everyone is aware of their importance or even what they do. So, are compression garments necessary after plastic surgery? We asked respected Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon Dr Gavin Sandercoe, from Bella Vista in NSW to weigh in on the subject. What are compression garments? A compression garment is a wide, elastic strip of material that hugs a certain body part to apply constant and even pressure. This band comes in various forms to meet the body’s needs for quick recovery. For example, a patient who has undergone a tummy tuck must wear a compression garment that looks like a single band that compresses the abdominal area. Another design for tummy tuck patients looks like a girdle or a pair of briefs. This garment is an important part of the recovery process, and provides numerous benefits to the user. Benefits This garment can help improve your recovery and has various purposes. These are: To […]

Belinda’s Breast Augmentation with Dr Scott Turner March 14, 2021 - After a few months of researching doctors for my breast augmentation I decided to have a consult with Dr Scott Turner. From the first contact I had with his office which was with Ghislaine his receptionist I knew I was going to be in the right hands. I had numerous questions about the surgery, fees, implants etc. This was all before actually having met with Dr Turner. When I first met Dr Turner in November last year, I immediately felt comfortable and knew I was in the right place. I had done a bit of research myself online, but as we all know its best to get the answers direct from the someone whose job it is to know all of this. As with any surgery there are always risks involved and therefore I wanted to make sure I was in the most qualified hands I could be. Yes there are cheaper options out there for breast implants, however if you are willing to be cut open and go under the knife, to me its more important to be taken care of by someone who has done the right training and has the proper accreditation and this was the type […]

Kaiya’s Mummy Makeover Journey with Dr Gavin Sandercoe February 27, 2021 - So often, it’s easy to look at someone else and think they look amazing and should be happy with their body. However, this is not the way it works. We all have to be comfortable in our own skin, and just because someone might be super fit, does not mean they don’t have something they want to change about themselves. For some women having smaller breasts can often cause feelings of self-consciousness, and even if you have a partner who is happy with your body and your boobs you can still want more to feel more “voluptuous” or sexy! Kaiya is a woman who although she has a supportive and loving husband and family had always thought it would be awesome to have some more boobs! Kaiya shares, “I had always been unhappy with my ‘less than an A-cup’ sized breasts. I loved the size that I became when breastfeeding so it was my intention that once I was done having babies and breastfeeding, I would eventually have breast augmentation done. Shortly after my 4th baby’s first birthday I started to get back into my fitness pretty seriously. I was attempting to run 8+kms 3 times a week and doing short sessions […]

Amelia has a Breast Augmentation as part of her transition February 23, 2021 - BEFORE THE SURGERY Trish: So I’m here today with Amelia. Amelia is transgender and today is the day that she’s having her breast augmentation so it’s a massive day for her today. So I just want you to introduce to Amelia and she can tell us a little bit about what is happening today. Trish: So, Amelia, are you excited? Amelia: Yes! I’m over the moon. Trish: Fantastic! Amelia: I’m nervous but I’m excited. It’s a long time coming. Trish: Great. So tell us what are you actually having done today? Amelia: So today I’m having a breast augmentation. I’m having 520cc high profile over the muscle – silicone cohesive gel; and I’m also having a little bit of lip filler as well. Trish: How important is this on your journey? Amelia: Oh my goodness, it’s so important. So for me, I’ve been planning to get my boobs done since I was 16, probably like a lot of girls. But for me it’s so important with part of my transition it’s helping me with my confidence. It’s helping me feel more womanly. I’m a curvy girl. And I’ve only got curves on the lower half of my body. I want […]

Boob Job helps Amelia with her female transition February 18, 2021 - I recently spent the day with one of the funnest, funniest, loveliest, sweetest souls, Amelia, and her amazing boyfriend Josh. Already in such a short time, they’ve both captured a part of my heart. Amelia identifies as a transgender female, as she is currently undergoing her transition from male to female. Her breast augmentation is a huge step for her in her transition. The day started with us contemplating what this surgery meant to Amelia. While some women may not be happy with the size of their breasts, through puberty they have natural breast growth. Although Amelia has always known she was a female trapped in the wrong body, she did not grow breasts like most females do, even after being on hormones for over two years. Because of this, having a breast augmentation was always going to be on the cards for her. Amelia wanted breasts from the time she was 16 years old, she says “like most girls”. I can’t even imagine the frustration in life when you feel the ‘outside’ doesn’t match the ‘inside’. I can only relate to something similar feeling when I sometimes look in the mirror – I feel like I’m still in my […]

Post Pregnancy Mummy Makeover with Dr Patrick Briggs – I want my body back! February 9, 2021 - Many Mothers have said “I want my body back” after pregnancy, childbirth and breast feeding Pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding are usually a wonderful time for a woman. It fulfils her biological drive and the strength of emotions experienced helps confirm her biological identity. The anticipation of pregnancy leads to the joy of childbirth and continues with the incredible feeling of bonding while breastfeeding. For most women this time in their life is one that they remember fondly. Psychologically these powerful feelings of caring for a helpless, joyful and beautiful being offset the changes that may have occurred in the biological journey. I am often asked by women who have not yet had children what will happen to their bodies after the sequence of pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding. Unfortunately this is an almost impossible question to answer, for not only does the individuality of genetics play a very significant role but also other factors will add or detract from the eventual outcome. Some women only have one pregnancy, “carry small” during pregnancy and do not breastfeed.
