Options for Correcting Uneven Breasts

    LOS ANGELES, CA, April 24, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- All women have uneven breasts, but the difference can be so pronounced in many women as to create difficulty finding bras and clothes that fit properly. Extreme breast asymmetry can also lead to feelings of insecurity and depression about your appearance.

The difference between breasts can be subtle in some women, dramatic in others; it can also include corresponding conditions such as uneven nipples, varying areolas or differently shaped breasts.

The causes of uneven breasts can also differ. Asymmetrical breasts can be genetic in nature or brought about by hormonal fluctuations, such as one breast beginning to develop before the other during adolescence or fibrocystic changes in breast tissue. Pregnancy and hyperplasia can also cause variations between breasts.

Women with minor breast asymmetry may find bra padding or bras with adjustable sizing a suitable solution. But if you have excessively uneven breasts, you may want to consider cosmetic surgery.

In many cases, the larger breast can be reduced or the smaller breast augmented to give your breasts a more proportionate appearance. Surgery procedures may include breast augmentation, a breast lift, breast reduction or breast implants either singly or in conjunction with another procedure.

The decision to undergo breast augmentation surgery to correct uneven breasts should be based on your individual goals and a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic surgeon experienced in the procedures used to treat uneven breasts. Your surgeon can make recommendations based on your goals and specific condition.

You must be at least 18 for most breast surgery procedures to ensure your body is fully developed and that your breasts have reached maturation. You must be at least 22 to undergo breast augmentation with silicone breast implants.
