It is a well-known truth in plastic surgery that no two breasts are perfectly symmetric. However, when the difference in size, shape, or position between the breasts is significant enough to cause distress or limit clothing options, it is classified as Breast Asymmetry.

At The Plastics Atelier in Omaha, we specialize in the meticulous correction of breast asymmetry. Dr. Hall focuses on creating a harmonious, balanced, and natural-looking result that restores confidence and proportion to your figure.

Understanding Breast Asymmetry

Breast asymmetry can manifest in several ways and often involves differences in more than one factor:

• Volume/Size Disparity: One breast is noticeably larger or smaller than the other.

• Shape Difference: One breast may be rounder or wider than the other.

• Nipple/Areola Asymmetry: Differences in the position, size, or projection of the nipple-areola complex (NAC).

• Inframammary Fold (IMF) Height: The crease underneath the breast sits higher on one side than the other, making the breasts appear mismatched. Ofthen, it’s the left fold that is about 1 cm higher than the right.

• Tuberous Breast Deformity: A specific type of asymmetry where the breasts are constricted, often presenting as a smaller breast with a narrow width, large areola, and high IMF.

Our Comprehensive Correction Strategy

Because asymmetry is rarely just a difference in size, effective correction requires a combination of techniques tailored to the unique anatomy of each breast. The goal is not simply to make both sides the same, but to make them appear balanced and proportional to your body.

Dr. Hall will develop a precise, individualized treatment plan that may combine one or more of the following procedures:

1. Addressing Volume Disparity:

• Augmentation (Using Implants): Placing a differently sized implant in each breast to equalize volume. This is highly effective when the primary issue is hypoplasia (underdevelopment) on one side.

• Reduction: Performing a reduction on the larger breast to match the size of the smaller one.

• Fat Grafting: Utilizing your own fat cells to add subtle, natural volume to the smaller breast or smooth out contour irregularities.

2. Correcting Shape and Position:

• Breast Lift (Mastopexy): Essential when there is a difference in breast height, nipple position, or degree of sagging (ptosis). A lift may be performed on only one breast, or differently on both breasts, to achieve symmetry of height and projection.

• Inframammary Fold Adjustment: Techniques to lower or raise the fold on one side to match the other, ensuring the breast tissue has a balanced foundation.

3. Refining the Nipple-Areola Complex (NAC):

• Areolar Reduction: Reducing the size of a disproportionately large areola on one side.

• Nipple Correction: Correcting inverted nipples or adjusting the projection to achieve balance.

Why Choose The Plastics Atelier for Asymmetry Correction?

Correcting breast asymmetry is one of the most challenging and rewarding areas of plastic surgery. It requires a surgeon with a keen eye for subtle proportion and the technical skill to execute multiple procedures simultaneously.

At our Omaha practice, Dr. Hall approaches every asymmetry case with detailed analysis and a commitment to precision. We invite you to schedule a consultation where we can thoroughly assess your specific concerns and outline a surgical plan designed to restore the balance and confidence you deserve.
