Correcting Asymmetrical Breasts.
Most women have slightly different-sized (asymmetrical) breasts.
In cases where the difference in size is pronounced, correction
is often desired. The best breast augmentation procedure will depend
on several factors, including how you want to balance the breasts.
You may want to augment (enlarge) the smaller breast to look like
the larger one, or reduce the size of the larger breast to match
the smaller one. Breast
augmentation , scarless
breast reduction and traditional
breast reduction are widely performed procedures.
Typical Recovery Time: : This really varies
depending on whether a breast augmentation, reduction or uplift
was performed to even out the breasts. For the first few days after
the breast augmentation surgery you will wear a special surgical
bra to minimize swelling and support the breasts. Expect to feel
tired and for your breasts to feel tender for the first 24 to 48
hours at least. You will continue to wear one of the surgical support
bras for several weeks at all times. Most women take one to two
weeks off from work and normal activity; strenuous activity is not
recommended for six weeks after the operation. Avoid lifting and
pushing for two weeks--no heavy lifting or pushing for four weeks.
