- Take certain medications or adjust your current medications
- Get a baseline mammogram before surgery and another one after surgery to help detect any future changes in your breast tissue
- Stop smoking
- Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding

- Organize your affairs and schedule so that you can completely relax and rest after surgery.

Although breast asymmetry (one breast is a different size and/or shape than the other) is extremely common, it can cause many challenges. Many women feel self-conscious or have difficulty getting clothing to fit properly. Others live in fear of becoming intimate with someone and having to expose their mismatched breasts. In severe cases, breast asymmetry can be truly disfiguring.
There are numerous types of breast asymmetry and degrees of difference in breast size, shape, and position, and there are an almost equal number of unique individual desires.
Breasts can be lifted and shaped, smaller breasts can be enlarged, larger breasts can be reduced, breast implants may be used in one or both breasts, or no breast implants may be required at all.
Because there are many different permutations of what uneven breasts can consist of there are also lots of different ways to correct them as well. It’s important to remember that every type of correction surgery for asymmetric breasts is tailored to your individual needs, and while one person may require implants, another patient might end up having a reduction.
For the most part, corrective options involve either one (or a combination of) the following:
- Breast Lift
- Breast Reduction
- Breast Augmentation
- Inverted Nipple Correction
- Fat Transfer Augmentation

Q: What size can I increase my breasts?
A: Your surgeon will discuss with you the cup size you would like to achieve from your breast enlargement. This is normally a maximum increase of two to three cup sizes.
Q: What does breast asymmetry correction involve?
A: Breast augmentation involves inserting different sized implants behind the breast. The procedure is carried out under general anesthetic and requires no more than an overnight hospital stay.
Q: What should I know before I decide to go ahead with breast asymmetry correction?
A: Before you decide to go ahead with corrective breast surgery, it’s vital to have a thorough one-to-one medical consultation with a surgeon who specializes in such surgery. We will explain the improvements you can realistically expect, taking into account your age, skin texture and the existing shape and position of your breast tissue and nipples. It is important to understand that perfection is rarely achievable, but differences can be dramatically reduced. In addition, if there are large differences, additional incisions, for example around the areola, may be suggested to equalize differing sizes.
Q: Are there any risks to breast asymmetry correction surgery?
A: Complications as a result of breast enlargement surgery are extremely rare, but this will be discussed with you in detail at your consultation. The modern implants used by Allure Medspa ensure that the risk of capsular contracture (or encapsulation) has never been so low.
Q: Will my breasts look and feel natural?
A: Yes. During the first few weeks, your breasts will feel firm and swollen, but pert. Once the breasts have settled, they’ll soften to a more natural appearance and feel.
Q: Will I experience any pain?
A: Most women experience some tenderness (rather than actual pain) following breast enlargement surgery and take pain relief for up to one week afterward.
Q: How long should I take off work?
A: Normally you should take 7–10 days off work. You may be advised to take more time off if your job involves any lifting or carrying.
Q: Can I expect aftercare?
A: We take special pride in our excellent levels of post-operative support and aftercare. To monitor your progress, we will invite you back to Allure Medspa at prescribed intervals after your breast enhancement surgery for follow-up examinations with your surgeon or our nursing staff.
Q: How much does breast symmetry surgery cost?
A: For an estimate on how much a breast augmentation may cost or to arrange a call Allure Medspa on +91 8291863159
