Breast Asymmetry IN LOS ANGELES, CA

Reclaiming Balance, Quietly and Precisely


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.

What is Breast Asymmetry?


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.

How Breast Asymmetry isTreated


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:

  • Breast augmentation using breast implants (saline or silicone) to match size and shape
  • Breast reduction of the larger breast to restore proportion
  • Breast lift (mastopexy) to address sagging and improve nipple symmetry
  • Fat transfer to sculpt subtle volume differences
  • Breast revision surgery if previous surgeries contributed to unevenness

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.

Breast Asymmetry Treatment Benefits


Correcting uneven breasts isn’t purely cosmetic. Many patients report improvements in physical comfort, mental health, and clothing confidence.

Benefits include:

  • Improved breast shape and position
  • Better fit in bras and swimwear
  • Reduced self-consciousness and emotional discomfort
  • Restoration of a more balanced appearance
  • Correction of asymmetry due to weight fluctuations, hormonal changes, or previous surgeries
  • Can be combined with reconstructive surgery after breast cancer

Even though perfect breast symmetry is rare in nature, small corrections can lead to a dramatically enhanced overall appearance.

Breast Asymmetry Treatment Candidates


Most women have some degree of breast asymmetry. But candidates for breast asymmetry correction surgery are those whose unevenness is noticeable enough to affect their clothing fit, confidence, or comfort.

Ideal candidates typically:

  • Are in good health with a stable weight
  • Are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Have realistic expectations about symmetrical breasts
  • Are emotionally ready for cosmetic or reconstructive surgery
  • May have had previous surgeries or radiation treatment

Some patients may also have asymmetry due to breast cancer treatment and are seeking restorative balance through breast revision or combined breast procedures.

Consultation and Preparation


The initial consultation includes:

  • A detailed evaluation of your breast volume, nipple position, and overall symmetry
  • 3D imaging to visualize possible outcomes
  • Review of your medical history and breast tissue health
  • Discussion of implant vs. breast lift vs. reduction options

Patients are encouraged to:

  • Maintain light movement in the days before surgery
  • Pause certain supplements or medications
  • Arrange for post-operative care support at home
  • Review all instructions related to pain medication prescribed and activity limitations

Your Breast Asymmetry Correction Procedure


This surgical procedure typically takes one to three hours, depending on whether implants, breast lift, or reduction techniques are involved. Our doctors use general anesthesia in a fully accredited facility.

During surgery:

  • Adjustments are made to one or both breasts, using tailored incisions
  • Saline implants or fat transfer may be used to enhance volume
  • Excess skin or tissue may be removed from a larger breast
  • Nipple sensitivity is preserved whenever possible
  • Minor scarring is carefully hidden in natural folds or along the nipple position

The result? A more balanced appearance that aligns with your frame and aesthetic goals.

Results, Recovery, and
Aftercare

Most patients notice visible improvement immediately, with final results settling over the next 6 to 12 weeks.

  • Expect mild swelling and soreness for several days
  • Return to desk work within a week, light movement permitted early
  • Avoid vigorous exercise for three to four weeks
  • Follow instructions for scar care and incision protection
  • Pain medication is prescribed to manage discomfort

The healing process varies by procedure, but your team provide ongoing patient care to ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery.

How Much Does Breast Asymmetry Correction Cost?

Breast asymmetry correction cost in Los Angeles varies depending on whether implants, lift, breast reduction, or revision techniques are used.

Pricing typically includes:

  • Surgical and anesthesia fees
  • Facility and equipment use
  • Pain medication and surgical garments
  • All post-operative care and follow-up visits

As a boutique practice, we offer transparency and detailed estimates during your consultation. If you’ve had previous surgeries, revisions may increase complexity and affect the final cost.

As with any surgical procedure, risks include infection, poor scarring, or changes in nipple sensitivity, though these are rare with proper care.

Results are considered long-term, especially with a stable weight and no major hormonal shifts or future breast procedures.
