Symmetry is considered one of the essential elements of beauty, and scientific studies have shown that people respond more positively to symmetry of the face and body. While some degree of breast asymmetry is normal and expected, significant differences in breast size or shape can lead to feelings of self-consciousness or embarrassment.

Breast asymmetry can be corrected using breast reduction on the larger breast, breast augmentation on the smaller breast, or a combination of both to ensure that breasts are more similar in size and shape. Contact Dr. Placik, the top rated breast augmentation surgeon Chicago today to see what is right for you.A breast lift can be performed to correct sagging in either breast. Other breast deformities can be corrected at the same time, including constricted or tuberous breasts (often incorrectly referred to as tubular breasts) and inverted nipples, while large nipples can be improved using nipple reduction. Many women also request correction of asymmetrically enlarged areolae.
No matter what the causes of breast asymmetry, Dr. Placik can work closely with you to develop a customized approach toward treatment that resolves your specific concerns.
Breast asymmetry is when the look of one breast differs significantly from the other. This can be related to size, shape, or position. Although no woman has breasts that are completely identical, the difference of a cup size or more or a significant variance in shape between breasts can cause problems with self-image, as well as concerns over practical issues like shopping for bras or swimsuits.
Both scientists and artists agree that symmetry is a major factor in determination of beauty. Faces and bodies are recognized as more beautiful when symmetrical qualities exist. While even Hollywood stars may have minor asymmetry, a larger, more conspicuous difference between sides can lead to feeling uncomfortable and self-conscious in ways that undermine your confidence.
Numerous factors can influence breast development and result in unevenly sized or shaped breasts:
Yes. The risk of cancer development in women with breast asymmetry increases 1.5 times for each 100 ml increase in asymmetry.
No. Women with breast asymmetry should regularly undergo cancer screenings. For women who choose to correct their asymmetry through breast augmentation, Dr. Placik can place the breast implants below the pectoral muscles to increase mammogram accuracy. In one Danish study, breast reduction did result in a lower risk of cancer.
Since Dr. Placik may take one of any number of different approaches to improve existing breast asymmetry, the cost of surgery will vary from patient to patient.
