Breast Asymmetry

About Breast Asymmetry

Breast asymmetry is by itself not uncommon. Symmetry (evenness) is, in fact, not usually the norm! But when the difference becomes large, then it can lead to certain psychological problems.

Breast asymmetry can have many causes. These include congenital (from birth) or acquired (breast cancer, complications from breast augmentation, or other surgery, trauma, infection).

Correction of the asymmetry can be challenging depending on the type of asymmetry. Augmentation (breast implants), reduction (making breasts smaller) can be performed on one breast or both.

Results of correction are frequently successful and patients are satisfied. Dr Javaheri has been performing these specific cases for more than 15 years and has enjoyed much success and considers it a very rewarding part of his practice.
