About Breast Asymmetry
Breast asymmetry is by itself not uncommon. Symmetry (evenness) is, in fact, not usually the norm. But when the difference becomes obvious, certain psychological problems may result.
Breast asymmetry can have many causes, including 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 cause. Augmentation (breast implants) or 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 with great success for 15 years, and considers it a rewarding part of his practice.
