Due to unfortunate hereditary conditions, some women develop asymmetrical breasts, a condition in which one breast may be too small while the other is too large. Unwanted sagging of one breast may also be an issue, or there may be a tubular appearance and/or constriction to the breast shape, with nipple areolar deformities. Sometimes there are underlying skeletal issues as well. Surgical correction for asymmetrical breasts can help teens and women improve the symmetry and shape of their breasts, boosting their self-confidence in the process.
Techniques used include breast lift, breast reduction, breast augmentation with implants, and/or fat transfer breast augmentation. Sometimes surgery needs “refreshing” within years due to recurring processes that caused the asymmetry in the first place. Surgery is individualized, and Dr. Shermak will meet with you in private to discuss all options that may benefit your appearance. To learn more about how breast asymmetry surgery can benefit you, reach out to Dr. Shermak’s office in Baltimore and set up your initial consultation.

The ideal candidate for breast asymmetry correction can fall into just about any group. You’re an ideal candidate if you desire better breast symmetry and improved breast contours, are in good physical and mental health, and have reasonable expectations for your results (improvement, rather than perfection, in other words).
Scars have to be tolerated, and the scars involved will be explained and demonstrated through work on previous patients. Dr. Shermak understands that younger girls may not be accepting and understanding of scars and works with every patient to ensure that they understand what to expect from the procedure. Additionally, it’s important that breast development be complete before one considers breast asymmetry correction.
Many patients come to Dr. Shermak wondering if their breast asymmetry correction can be covered by insurance.
The short answer is “sometimes.” We recommend checking in with your insurance provider to see if they may cover this procedure. More often than not, the procedure is an out-of-pocket expense and is considered to be cosmetic in nature.
Breast asymmetry correction surgery is performed on an outpatient basis. After your surgery, you may experience temporary discomfort, swelling, or numbness. Most women resume light activity within a week and drive within 10 days.
More vigorous activity should wait for one month. Dr. Shermak will meet with patients over time to assure optimal scarring results, and will ensure that you’re given a clear timeline of your recovery period in advance of your surgery.
