How is breast asymmetry handled?

Dr. Sadrian's San Diego Breast Asymmetry Correction procedure starts with a thorough consultation. Dr. Sadrian will examine your breasts and discuss your concerns, assess the breast asymmetry, discuss your medical history and listen to your aesthetic goals. Based on this initial consultation, Dr. Sadrian will recommend the best procedure or procedures to correct your breast asymmetry and achieve the balanced, harmonious breasts you desire. Possible procedures to correct breast asymmetry include a breast lift, breast reshaping, breast reduction surgery, or breast implant/fat transfer augmentation–or a combination of these procedures to achieve the most ideal results.

Breast lift
