Recovery After Breast Asymmetry Correction
Yes – it’s extremely common for women to have slightly different-sized or shaped breasts. Significant asymmetry, however, can affect self-esteem or cause practical issues and may benefit from correction.
Yes. If one breast is smaller, an implant can be used in the smaller side only. However, in some cases, using implants in both breasts ensures better long-term balance and symmetry.
No one’s breasts are exactly symmetrical – even after surgery. The goal is to create natural-looking balance, not artificial perfection. Mr Milligan focuses on proportion, position, and contour to achieve the best result for your frame.
Breast development should be complete before considering surgery – usually after age 18. Some patients may be referred earlier if the asymmetry is severe and causing distress.
