"I was so embarrassed by my body! One breast was
normal and the other wasn't even there. I couldn't wear a bathing suit,
sundresses, tank tops. wouldn't even change into my gym clothes in
school. My life has totally changed since my surgery! I can wear what I
want, and I'm never embarrassed anymore. I feel so much better about
myself now!"

Breast Asymmetry FAQ's
- Will my breasts be perfect after the surgery?
When correcting breast asymmetry, the goal is to achieve maximum
improvement. The degree of asymmetry will determine the likelihood of
achieving a perfect, a near perfect, or simply an improved breast
symmetry and contour.
- If my asymmetry is corrected by different sized implants, and then I become pregnant and breastfeed, will some form of asymmetry return?
Probably it will. In order to correct any resulting asymmetry we would
have to adjust the implants to again balance the breasts. An
alternative would be to have your gynecologist suppress milk
production, although this is not something that I would recommend. It
is possible that if you start with relatively small breasts, the size
difference between the breasts may be minimal and not require any
additional treatment.
