Due to unfortunate hereditary conditions, some girls have asymmetrical breast development. One may be too small while the other is too large. Unwanted sagging of one breast may also be an issue. 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 can help teens and women improve the symmetry and shape of the breasts. Techniques include breast lift or breast reduction, and breast augmentation with implants and/or fat. 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.
Good candidates are females of a broad spectrum of ages who desire better breast symmetry and improved breast contours. Candidates should be in good physical and mental health, with reasonable expectations for improvement rather than perfection. Scars have to be tolerated, and the scars involved will be explained and demonstrated through work on previous patients. Younger girls may not be accepting and understanding of scars. Additionally, breast development should be complete.
Surgery is performed on an outpatient basis. One 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.
The way you look and feel directly affects your self-confidence. In addition to treating Baltimore congenital breast asymmetry patients, Dr. Shermak takes care of many Baltimore abdominoplasty, liposuction, and body lift patients. Please visit these pages to learn more.

This is a new day, with new safety protocols. Our goal is to keep everyone safe and respect the continued concerns COVID-19 may present.
The state of Maryland is now fortunately downgraded to Yellow Status. COVID stress on the medical system has lessened and most areas in the state no longer mandate masks.
Currently in our office we are maintaining sterile surfaces and compulsive cleaning protocols – as always. We are requesting information about vaccination status, to particularly better help us prepare for patients interested in surgical procedures.
We are not mandating masks. We do respect our patients’ wishes and will wear a mask when requested to do so. We want our patients to be absolutely comfortable. All of our staff are vaccinated.
This is certainly an evolving issue and we will continue to pivot as COVID statistics change – hopefully for the better! Thank you!
