Breast Augmentation for Correcting Asymmetrical Breasts

Breast augmentation is one of the most common procedures performed in the US. While the majority of women undergo  simply to increase the size of their breasts, some women look to breast augmentation to improve the appearance of their asymmetrical breasts. Breast asymmetry is a difference in breast size or shape or both. In some cases, the difference is unnoticeable and does not need surgical attention. However, there are a number of women who’s breasts are so different in size, surgical intervention is needed. Breasts that differ one cup size or more in size are generally considered to be asymmetrical breasts needing surgical correction.

Skilled cosmetic surgeons may offer a variety of options to correct breast asymmetry including breast augmentation. Depending on the severity of the asymmetry, breast reduction and  may be used. In all cases, the goal is to create breasts that are symmetrical and also in proportion to the body. For some, this means using breast reduction surgery on one breast and breast augmentation on the other to deliver optimal results. When breast augmentation alone is used, many surgeons perform  on both breasts to ensure the breasts are not only the same size but also the same shape.fmcx20121113
