Surgical Procedures to Address Breast Asymmetry
While there are other ways to address asymmetrical breasts, cosmetic surgery is the only real way to properly address the issue and give patients a tailor-made solution to their issues. After undergoing these procedures, patients feel more balanced and confident in themselves.
For patients who find that their breasts have pronounced asymmetry, or would like to experience an increase in volume or size, a breast augmentation procedure is a great way to help patients reach their goals. Dr. Balinger can achieve these changes by placing an implant into one breast to match the size of the patient's larger breast or two implants of differing sizes can be employed in order to achieve even volume.
In cases of less severe asymmetry, or if the patient wishes to taper their larger breast to be the same size as their smaller one, breast reduction procedures are a great solution. Dr. Balinger can accomplish this by removing tissue from the larger breast so that it is in line with the size of the smaller one.
In cases where one breast has seen a reduction in elasticity compared to the other and appears to sag or droop more, a breast lift may be the best way to address the asymmetry. Beyond that, this treatment can be performed in tandem with a breast reduction, ensuring that the changes in volume don't lead to unwanted sagging. Dr. Balinger removes excess tissue while tightening the skin to achieve firmer breasts.
