Breast Asymmetry Correction

Breast asymmetry, a condition where a woman’s breast differs in size or shape from the other, can have significant emotional and psychological effects on those who experience it. It is important to recognize that although breast asymmetry is relatively common, it can still be distressing and impact a woman’s self-esteem. For many women, having breasts that are visibly different in size or shape can lead to feelings of self-consciousness and a negative body image.

He has helped countless Beverly Hills and West Hollywood women regain confidence and achieve their desired breast symmetry.

All About Breast Asymmetry Correction

Breast asymmetry is quite common, with most women having some degree of variation in size, shape, or position between their breasts. ^[1] Genetics plays a significant role in determining breast size and shape. It is not uncommon for one breast to develop differently than the other during puberty, leading to noticeable differences in size or shape. Hormonal changes throughout a woman’s life can also contribute to breast volume and symmetry changes. ^[2]

Pregnancy and breastfeeding can change the breasts both temporarily and permanently. As the breasts go through the process of lactation and postpartum recovery, they may experience asymmetrical growth and changes in position due to hormonal fluctuations and variations in milk production or consumption. These changes can persist even after breastfeeding has ended.

Weight fluctuations can also impact breast symmetry. Gaining or losing a significant amount of weight can affect breast volume, with one breast being more affected than the other. As women age, breast tissue density, elasticity, and skin laxity changes can contribute to asymmetry.

Depending on the specific requirements of your case, Dr. Younai will determine the most appropriate technique to address the asymmetry; this may involve

Preparation

Dr. Younai may require a comprehensive medical evaluation before the surgery. This evaluation may include blood tests, mammograms, or other imaging studies to assess your breasts’ health and ensure no underlying issues contribute to your breasts’ asymmetry.

If you are a smoker, it is strongly advised to quit smoking well in advance of the surgery. Smoking can significantly impair healing and increase the risk of complications. Dr. Younai may require you to refrain from smoking for a certain period before and after the surgery to ensure optimal results.

Patients should also plan for post-operative care and support during their recovery period. This may include arranging for someone to drive you to and from the surgery and having a support system to assist with daily activities during the initial recovery phase.

How Is Breast Asymmetry Correction Performed?

Dr. Younai will prioritize your comfort and safety by administering general anesthesia to begin your breast asymmetry correction. Once you are comfortably sedated, he will proceed with a carefully planned surgical approach.

Using a small incision, typically placed along the lower edge of the areola, Dr. Younai gains access to the breast tissue. To achieve the most natural and harmonious outcome, it is common for adjustments to be made to both breasts during the procedure. 

For instance, if you opt for a reduction of the larger breast, Dr. Younai will typically perform a reduction on both breasts, with the larger one being reduced to a greater extent. Similarly, if you choose to enhance the smaller breast with an implant, Dr. Younai will carefully select different-sized implants for each breast to attain perfect symmetry and a highly natural appearance.

Once Dr. Younai has sculpted the breasts to achieve a balanced size and shape, he will pay attention to the finer details. This includes adjusting the nipple height and areola width to ensure absolute symmetry between the breasts. By meticulously refining these elements, Dr. Younai will create uniform breasts that will leave you thrilled.

Throughout the procedure, Dr. Younai’s expertise and attention to detail are evident as he strives to achieve optimal patient outcomes. By customizing the surgical approach to your specific needs and incorporating techniques to promote symmetry, he aims to provide you with breasts that are balanced, aesthetically pleasing, and in line with your desired appearance.

Recovery After Breast Asymmetry Correction

During the initial phase of your recovery, having a trusted companion, such as a friend or family member near is recommended to ensure your comfort and safety. It is normal to experience certain post-operative discomfort, which can be managed with the pain medication prescribed by Dr. Younai.

In the first few days, you can anticipate pain, discoloration, redness, and swelling in the treated area. Your breasts may feel tight and sensitive to touch, and you might find it challenging to raise your arms. It is important to note that these side effects are most intense during the initial 48 hours and will gradually diminish as time progresses.

In terms of physical activity, engaging in light movement, such as walking, is crucial immediately after the surgery. This helps stimulate the healing process and reduces the risk of complications. 

For the first two weeks following the procedure, it is advisable to limit physical exertion, avoiding activities that strain the breasts and upper body, including lifting, bending, and strenuous exercise. Dr. Younai will provide specific guidelines during your post-operative appointments regarding the appropriate timing to resume more vigorous activities based on your progress.

Following these instructions and attending your scheduled follow-up appointments can ensure a smoother recovery and optimize the long-term results of your breast asymmetry correction. Dr. Younai’s guidance and expertise will be instrumental in providing you with comprehensive care throughout the recovery process.
