Breasts don’t always match. For some women, the difference in size, shape, or position is barely noticeable. For others, it’s a defining feature that affects clothing choices, posture, and self-image. At Marina Plastic Surgery in Los Angeles, breast asymmetry correction is approached with precision, artistry, and respect for individuality.
The procedure is performed by board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Justin Perez and Dr. Osita Obi, each bringing advanced surgical expertise and an eye for balance. Perfect mirror-image symmetry isn’t the objective—natural, harmonious proportions and restored confidence are.
In this guide, we’ll explore the common causes of breast asymmetry, the surgical options available, and what you can expect from a treatment plan tailored to your anatomy and goals.
Breast asymmetry refers to a noticeable difference in size, volume, position, or shape between the two breasts. While subtle differences are extremely common, more pronounced asymmetrical breasts can cause physical discomfort, issues with clothing fit, or emotional discomfort, especially during pivotal periods like adolescence, pregnancy, or menopause.
Differences may result from breast tissue density, hormonal changes, developmental variations, or changes after breast cancer treatment or previous breast procedures. Some women notice that one breast sits significantly lower, or that the nipple position varies in a way that’s difficult to disguise.
There’s no single solution. Breast asymmetry correction is always tailored to your anatomy, goals, and unique breast profile. Depending on the cause and presentation, treatment may include:
Each case may involve addressing one or both breasts, depending on your desired level of breast symmetry. Dr. Perez and Dr. Obi work closely with you to develop a comprehensive consultation and treatment plan, considering your medical history, current breast tissue condition, and personal aesthetic preferences.
