Breast Asymmetry Sydney

About the treatment

Breast asymmetry is a common clinical presentation, often due to natural developmental differences. Other contributing factors may include hormonal changes, breastfeeding, or certain medical conditions.

Asymmetry may involve differences in:

Shape
Position
Volume
Size
Areola or nipple placement

Specialist Plastic Surgeon Dr Ania Smialkowski (MED0001668109, FRACS) offers surgical procedures intended to address breast asymmetry. The surgical approach is tailored to individual anatomy and clinical needs, with the aim of improving overall balance between the breasts. Outcomes vary between individuals.

Results

In cases of breast asymmetry correction, patients may opt to increase the size of the smaller breast to achieve better symmetry. Alternatively, some patients may choose to reduce the size of the larger breast.

Dr Smialkowski (MED0001668109 FRACS) can perform these procedures as standalone treatments or in combination with breast augmentation or reduction, depending on the individual’s clinical needs and aesthetic goals.
