Los Angeles Breast Assymetrical Breast Repair

Correcting Asymmetrical Breasts
Most women have slightly different-sized (asymmetrical) breasts. In cases where the difference in size is pronounced, correction can be achieved. There are several ways to go about a correction for assymetrical breasts. Some want to augment (enlarge) the smaller breast to look like the larger one. Some want to 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, and nipples can also be altered to make them more symmetrical.

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.

Above set: Asymmetric breasts were repaired with periareolar dual plane breast implants. Saline 390 cc (moderate profile) used on right, 225 cc (low profile) used on patient's left breast. The result is a more balanced, natural look.

Above (2 sets): Dr. Svehlak. Removal of 20-year old silicone implants, removal of calcified capsular contracture, replacement with saline implants, and small periareolar uplift.
Above (2 sets): Dr. Svehlak. Patient had deflated right implant and capsular contracture on the left, with assymetry. She had implants replaced and release of capsular contracture.
