Breast asymmetry correction is a collection of different procedures that correct the appearance of uneven breasts. While it is natural for the breasts to develop unevenly or imbalanced, a significant or noticeable difference can lead to concerns such as ill-fitting clothing, physical discomfort, and diminished self-confidence. By undergoing breast asymmetry correction, you can achieve more proportionate and shapely breasts that flatter your natural figure rather than detract from it.

Dr. Michael J. Yoo is a double board-certified plastic surgeon known for his natural, seamless results. He truly has a passion for what he does and has undergone a considerable amount of perfecting his craft. He has trained under the most renowned plastic surgeons in the United States, as well as some of the leading hospitals in Seoul, South Korea, a global leader in aesthetic surgery.

About breast asymmetry correction

Breast asymmetry correction includes several procedures that enhance the uniformity of the breasts.

For many women, breasts symbolize femininity and play an important role in self-image. When the breasts are visibly different in size, shape, or fullness, it can create a sense of discomfort, make them feel less attractive, or lead to a negative self-perception, causing them to refrain from wearing certain garments, avoid social situations, or shy away from intimate relationships. With breast asymmetry correction, you can address each of these concerns with ease and restore a more attractive, shapely, and even appearance across the breasts.

Available procedures

Dr. Yoo offers several different breast-enhancing procedures that can correct asymmetry and unevenness. Depending on your circumstances, he may also suggest combining multiple procedures within the same treatment plan.

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation enhances the size, shape, fullness, and symmetry of the breasts using breast implants. (1) Dr. Yoo can place either silicone or saline breast implants, both of which he offers in different sizes, textures, and shapes, to help you restore a more uniform and proportionate appearance across your chest.

Breast Lift

A breast lift elevates the position of the breasts on the chest wall to address deflated-looking breasts, as well as a loss of skin elasticity. Dr. Yoo can perform this procedure to address any imbalanced contours, correct skin laxity, reshape the breasts, and achieve a more uplifted and perky appearance overall. (2)

Breast fat transfer

A breast fat transfer uses your body’s natural fat to enhance the volume, shape, symmetry, and appearance of your breasts. This procedure uses autologous fat grafting, wherein Dr. Yoo uses liposuction to take fat from one area of the body before purifying and reinjecting it into the breasts. (3) It offers much more subtle results than a breast augmentation procedure, but because it uses your own tissue, the results look and feel more natural.

Ozempic breast

Ozempic breast consists of a collection of different procedures that Dr. Yoo can perform to address the lasting effects of GLP-1-induced weight loss. This rapid weight loss process can result in significant skin laxity across your body, including your chest and breasts, leaving them uneven and lax. With specialized Ozempic breast treatments, you can easily address these concerns and elevate your breast symmetry, shape, and fullness.

Nipple and areola reduction/reconstruction

Dr. Yoo can perform a nipple and areola reduction/reconstruction to address concerns affecting your nipple-areola complex (NAC). This procedure may reduce its size, reposition it to a more central position on the breast, or reduce its protuberance. By undergoing this procedure, you can easily achieve a harmonious appearance between the breast, areolas, and nipples. (4)

Candidates

It may be time to consider breast asymmetry correction if you have found yourself frustrated by an uneven or imbalanced appearance across your breasts. To qualify, you should be in good general health and possess realistic expectations regarding the results. You must also lead a nicotine-free lifestyle or be willing to quit smoking.

Your eligibility is at the discretion of Dr. Yoo and his team, and he will finalize his decision during your consultation.

Personal consultation

Before proceeding with your breast procedure, you will need to attend a personal consultation at either our Beverly Hills or Newport Beach offices. During this visit, Dr. Yoo will meet with you to discuss what breast procedures he offers, their differences, their benefits, and their limitations. He will then hold an open conversation to review your medical history, learn about your aesthetic goals, and perform a physical examination.

Dr. Yoo will then use each of these details to finalize your candidacy and create a tailored course of action. He will explain each aspect of your procedure, including any preparation steps and post-operative guidelines he may provide. He will also take the time to answer your questions and quell your concerns. Dr. Yoo values honesty and integrity and will only provide you with guidance and advice that ensures both your safety and aesthetically pleasing results.

Preparation

Before undergoing your breast asymmetry correction, you will need to make certain changes to ensure a safe and successful procedure. To help, Dr. Yoo will provide you with a set of detailed pre-operative instructions, which may include:

  • Avoiding any medications or supplements that may contain blood-thinning properties
  • Preparing time away from your professional responsibilities and personal commitments to give yourself time to recover
  • Undergoing any required labs or testing, which may include receiving a baseline mammogram
  • Arranging transportation home after your procedure from a trusted family member or friend
  • Picking up any medications or supplements you will need as you heal
  • Ceasing any nicotine or alcohol consumption in the weeks leading up to your procedure

Recovery

After your procedure, Dr. Yoo will release you to recover in the comfort of your home. During your initial healing phase, you may experience some initial swelling, bruising, or general tenderness around your breasts. These effects will subside on their own, but you may also manage them using prescribed medications and plenty of rest. Dr. Yoo may also have you wear a supportive bra to maintain the new contours of your breasts as your tissues heal.

You may return to each of your daily activities after resting for a few weeks, but you will need to continue avoiding any strenuous or physically demanding activities until Dr. Yoo has approved your return. He will give you additional instructions, guidance, and advice once he has met with you in person.

Results

You will be able to enjoy the full results of your breast asymmetry correction once you have fully recovered. Your results will vary, but you can expect to enjoy more even, symmetrical, and full breasts, as well as more central and balanced nipples. These effects can contribute to a greater sense of self-confidence and body positivity, as well as improve the way your garments look and fit.

Cost of breast asymmetry correction in Beverly Hills

The cost of your breast asymmetry correction will vary depending on the details of your treatment plan, such as the type of procedure you undergo and the extent of your corrections. Once Dr. Yoo has met with you to discuss each of these details, he will also converse with you about your financial obligations.
