What is the breast asymmetry procedure?

You will be given a general anaesthetic. The surgeon will make an incision in the breast crease (the natural crease just under the breast). He/she will use a combination of the techniques used in breast uplift, breast augmentation or breast reduction surgery.

The surgery can last from 1 hour to 4 hours depending on the techniques used. Everyone is different and some people will take longer than others.

The aim is to balance the shape and size of the breasts so that they appear the same. This surgery can also tighten sagging breasts.
