At Zuckerman Plastic Surgery of New York City, we are proud to specialize in addressing and correcting uneven breast symmetry. Breast asymmetry is a common concern among many women, and Dr. Joshua D. Zuckerman, a leading expert in cosmetic breast surgery and renowned for his Mommy Makeover procedures, provides personalized solutions to achieve balanced and aesthetically pleasing breast contours.
Who is a Candidate for Uneven Breast Surgery?
Ideal candidates for breast asymmetry correction are individuals who notice significant differences in the size, shape, or position of their breasts. These discrepancies can often affect clothing fit and self-esteem. Candidates should be in good general health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the surgery.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Breast asymmetry correction is typically performed under general anesthesia. The specific technique Dr. Zuckerman uses will depend on the nature of the asymmetry. Options may include one or a combination of the following:
- Breast augmentation on one or both breasts
- Breast reduction on the larger breast
- Breast lift to adjust nipple height and contour
The procedure generally lasts between one to three hours, depending on the complexity and the techniques used.
Frequently Asked Questions About Breast Asymmetry Correction
Recovery varies by individual but generally, patients can expect to take one to two weeks off from work. Full recovery, including resuming vigorous activities, may take up to six weeks.
As with any surgery, there are risks such as infection, bleeding, or adverse reactions to anesthesia. Specific to breast surgery, there may be risks of scarring, changes in nipple sensation, or the need for revision surgery.
The results of breast asymmetry correction are long-lasting, but factors such as aging, weight fluctuations, and hormonal changes can affect the longevity of the results.
Dr. Zuckerman uses advanced techniques to minimize scarring, and any scars from the surgery will fade significantly over time and can usually be concealed under most clothing and swimwear.
