It’s common for women’s breasts to have slight differences, but sometimes the imbalance is noticeable enough to affect both breast appearance and self confidence. Breast asymmetry occurs when one breast is significantly larger, shaped differently, or positioned higher than the other. These differences can develop during puberty, after pregnancy, or due to hormonal changes, weight fluctuations, or even breast cancer treatment. For some, these differences are mild and easily accepted. But for many women, asymmetrical breasts cause frustration, clothing challenges, and a loss of self-esteem. At Zuri Plastic Surgery in Miami, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Alexander Zuriarrain offers modern solutions to help create balance and restore natural-looking results.
Breast asymmetry correction surgery is highly individualized because no two patients have the same anatomy or goals. Treatment options may include:
For patients who have undergone breast cancer treatment, breast reconstruction may also play a role in restoring symmetry. Dr. Z carefully tailors each treatment plan to the individual, ensuring every option is carefully explained before moving forward.
Correcting uneven breasts is about more than appearances. It’s about comfort, self-assurance, and reclaiming confidence in your body. Patients often share that, after surgery, they feel more comfortable in clothing, more balanced physically, and more confident in intimate and social situations.
Ideal candidates for breast asymmetry surgery are women in good overall health who are bothered by the size, shape, or contour differences in their breasts. Most patients seek surgery when one breast is visibly smaller or when larger breast tissue causes discomfort. Candidates should:
Many patients come from South Florida and Fort Lauderdale to see Dr. Z because of his reputation for artistry and compassion.
Your initial consultation is where everything begins. This is your time to talk openly about your concerns, whether you’ve lived with uneven breasts since adolescence or noticed changes after pregnancy or surgery. At Zuri Plastic Surgery, you’ll never feel rushed. Dr. Z listens carefully, examines your breast tissue, and discusses the best treatment options to help you create symmetry and reach your desired size. You’ll also go over your medical history, lifestyle, and healing considerations such as blood circulation and scar care. The goal of the consultation is to make sure you feel confident in your surgeon and understand every aspect of your surgical procedure.
The exact procedure depends on your unique anatomy. For some, breast implants or fat grafting are used to increase the smaller breast, while for others, breast reduction or a breast lift may be performed on the larger breast. In many cases, a combination is the best way to create balance. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia at one of Miami’s best hospitals or at our accredited surgical center. Procedures generally last two to three hours, depending on complexity. Dr. Z’s meticulous approach ensures minimal scarring and natural looking results.
The recovery process varies depending on the type of breast surgery performed, but most patients can expect to return to light activity within one to two weeks. Swelling and bruising are normal, and a surgical bra or compression garment may be recommended to support healing. As healing progresses, results become more refined. With proper care, a healthy lifestyle, and avoidance of significant weight fluctuations, your outcome will be long-lasting. Patients often describe the results as life-changing, bringing not only better breast appearance but also renewed self confidence.
Because breast asymmetry correction is tailored to each individual, pricing varies. Factors include whether you need breast augmentation, breast reduction, or a combination approach, as well as the type of implants, anesthesia, and facility fees. Costs also cover the surgical team, post-op care, and follow-up visits. At your consultation, Dr. Z will provide a detailed quote so you understand exactly what’s included. Financing options are available to help patients achieve their goals without added stress.
