Surgical correction of significantly unequal breast size, shape or position — achieving balance, symmetry and confidence through individually tailored procedures.
Mild breast asymmetry is extremely common and entirely normal. Significant asymmetry — where the breasts differ markedly in size, shape, position or nipple level — can cause embarrassment, difficulty fitting clothing and self-consciousness. Correction involves one or more surgical techniques tailored to each patient: augmenting the smaller side, reducing the larger, lifting one or both, or a combination of these approaches.
Detailed assessment of breast volume, shape, ptosis grade and nipple position on each side. Pre-operative photos taken for surgical planning.
Dr. Thusay designs a tailored plan — which side to augment, reduce or lift — specifying implant size (if used) and technique for each breast individually.
Both procedures performed in a single anaesthetic where possible. Each breast addressed individually to achieve a matched, balanced result.
Surgical bra for 6 weeks. 2 weeks off work. Swelling on each side may resolve at slightly different rates — patience is important during healing.
Both breasts reach their final shape at 3–6 months. Minor residual asymmetry (a few mm) is normal and always present to some degree in all women.
Perfect mirror symmetry is an unrealistic expectation — no two breasts are ever completely identical, even after correction. The goal is significant improvement to a level where the difference is not noticeable in clothing or swimwear. Dr. Thusay is clear about achievable outcomes during consultation.
In most cases, yes — both sides are addressed in a single surgical session under one general anaesthetic. In complex cases, a two-stage approach may be advised.
Significant congenital or developmental breast asymmetry may be considered for coverage by some insurers. Cosmetic asymmetry correction is typically not covered. Our team assists with the assessment.
Tuberous (tubular) breast deformity is a specific congenital condition requiring specialised correction involving release of the constricting base, reshaping of the breast tissue and often augmentation. Dr. Thusay has experience with tuberous breast correction — it is discussed during your consultation.
Dr. Thusay plans incisions to be as symmetrical as possible regardless of what procedure each side requires. All scars are placed in bra-covered locations.
Surgery is recommended after breast development is fully complete — typically age 18 for most techniques. For adolescents with severe functional or psychological impact, earlier assessment can be arranged.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding affect breast volume and shape unpredictably. It is advisable to undergo correction after completing your family for the most lasting outcome.
This is entirely determined by Dr. Thusay's assessment of your individual anatomy during the consultation. He will clearly explain the recommended approach, the expected result and any tradeoffs involved in your specific case.
Dr. Pranav Thusay will personally assess your case and create a tailored plan.
