Breast asymmetry correction
Most women have a slight difference between left and right breasts. This is natural and to be expected. The old adage ‘sisters not twins’ is fitting here.
Some women experience a difference in breast size and shape that is more significant and causes concern as well as difficulty getting clothes to fit.
In these situations Mr Molajo would assess and discuss options to create improved symmetry.

About Breast asymmetry correction
Symmetry is improved by either increasing the size of the smaller breast (augmentation); reducing the size of the larger breast or increasing both breast sizes by different amounts (differential breast augmentation) Uplift procedures may also be employed if required.
Breast asymmetry correction is available at our Bolton, Blackburn and West Yorkshire locations.
Many breast asymmetry patients chose to stay in hospital overnight but some choose daycase surgery. You may wish to allow 1-2 weeks to recover following surgery depending on your occupation. Mr Molajo recommends wearing a surgical bra 24 hours a day for 6 weeks. Additionally, he also requests that you avoid heavy lifting and activities that cause bouncing for 6 weeks.
1 week: wound check
6 weeks: return to most exercises
6-12 weeks : breasts will soften and continue to improve for the next 12 months
The decision to have breast asymmetry surgery is very personal, but empowering. Mr Molajo will discuss the different options with you and devise a plan to help you achieve your desired result. There are situations where this may not be right for a patient. Mr Molajo will always be open and honest if he feels this is not right for you.
Breast asymmetry surgery usually produces high satisfaction, however, certain risks need consideration. They include risks common to all surgery including but not limited to; infection, bleeding and unpredictable scarring. Nipple related issues including sensation changes and implant related risks including rupture, capsular contracture, BIA-ALCL and breast implant illness. Mr Molajo will discuss risks and benefits during the consultation.
