What is Breast Asymmetry Correction?
Breast asymmetry refers to a difference in size, shape, or position between the breasts. It is entirely normal for most women to have some degree of breast asymmetry, but when the asymmetry is significant and causes physical or emotional discomfort, it can be corrected through surgical intervention.
What applications is this used for?
- Physical Discomfort: Significant breast asymmetry can lead to discomfort, difficulty finding well-fitting clothing, and challenges with body image.
- Psychological Impact: Breast asymmetry can cause self-consciousness, embarrassment, and dissatisfaction with one’s appearance, impacting self-esteem and quality of life.
- Desire for Symmetry: Many women desire breast symmetry for aesthetic reasons, wanting breasts that are similar in size, shape, and position.
The Procedure
- Consultation: Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with Dr Jeevan. During this session, you’ll discuss your goals, medical history, and any questions or concerns you may have about the procedure.
- Assessment: Dr Jeevan will assess the degree of breast asymmetry, considering factors such as breast size, shape, nipple position, and chest wall anatomy.
- Treatment Plan: Based on your goals and the assessment of your breast asymmetry, Dr Jeevan will develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
- Surgical Approach: The surgical approach for breast asymmetry correction will depend on the specific nature of the asymmetry and the desired outcome. Common techniques may include:
- Breast Augmentation: Using breast implants to increase the size of one breast to match the other.
- Breast Reduction: Removing excess tissue from one breast to reduce its size and match the other.
- Breast Lift: Reshaping and repositioning the breasts to improve symmetry and contour.
- Combination Techniques: Dr Jeevan may combine different surgical techniques to achieve optimal results.
- Recovery: Following surgery, you will undergo a period of recovery, during which you will need to follow Dr Jeevan’s post-operative instructions carefully. This may include wearing a surgical bra, avoiding strenuous activities, and attending follow-up appointments.

What is the recovery time ?
Initial Recovery Phase (1-2 Weeks)
- First Few Days: Expect some discomfort, swelling, and bruising. Pain can be managed with prescribed medication. Most patients are able to move around the house but should avoid strenuous activities.
- First Week: Many patients can return to work within a week, especially if they have a desk job. Physical activities should still be limited.
- Incision Care: Follow your surgeon’s instructions for caring for your incisions and wearing any recommended support garments.
Intermediate Recovery Phase (3-6 Weeks)
- Activity Level: Gradually increase your activity level, but avoid heavy lifting, intense cardio, or chest exercises.
- Follow-Up Visits: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing and monitor for any complications.
Long-Term Recovery (6 Weeks and Beyond)
- Resuming Normal Activities: By 6 weeks, most patients can resume normal activities and exercise routines, but it’s essential to follow your surgeon’s guidance.
- Final Results: Swelling continues to decrease, and the final shape and size of your breasts become more apparent. Complete healing can take a few months.
Tips for a Smooth Recovery
- Follow Instructions: Adhere strictly to your surgeon’s post-operative instructions.
- Rest: Get plenty of rest, especially in the initial weeks.
- Hydrate and Nourish: Maintain a healthy diet and stay hydrated to support healing.
- Avoid Smoking and Alcohol: These can interfere with the healing process.
what patients say
Supportive..
Mr Jeevan is considerate and conscientious. He always makes time for his patients and goes above and beyond to make sure that they feel supported. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Exactly what I had hoped for...
My final results are exactly what I had hoped for. I feel youthful and light again. They look lovely and the scars are barely visible and diminishing nicely. The 12 month check up aftercare has been brilliant. There’s nothing negative I can say. I’ve never had any kind of surgery before and the whole experience has been so reassuring. If you’re looking for a surgeon who gives great care and great results, look no further.
Perfect end result...
I recently had a breast augmentation with Mr Jeevan and it’s been the best decision I ever made. The end result is perfect and has give me some much needed confidence. Now let’s start with Mr Jeevan himself, he has been amazing throughout my Journey. From start to finish he really couldn’t do enough. From the very first consultation, he advised me on sizing, procedure and give me some much needed reassurance (I was a very nervous and squeamish patient). He has been very professional, approachable and accommodating
