Good Candidates

You may be a candidate for breast asymmetry correction if:

  • One breast is noticeably larger or smaller than the other
  • Differences in nipple or areola position affect symmetry
  • You have difficulty achieving balanced clothing or bra fit
  • Asymmetry developed during puberty, pregnancy, or after prior surgery
  • You are in good overall health and have realistic expectations

A consultation allows your surgeon to evaluate your anatomy and determine appropriate options based on both medical and aesthetic considerations.

Surgical Options for Breast Asymmetry

Correction of breast asymmetry is highly individualized. In many cases, treatment may involve surgery on one or both breasts to improve proportion and balance. Surgical options may include:

  • Breast augmentation of the smaller breast using an implant or, in select cases, your own tissue
  • Breast reduction of the larger breast
  • Breast lift (mastopexy) to improve position and symmetry
  • Adjustment of the nipple-areola complex when needed

Often, achieving optimal balance requires addressing both breasts. For example, if the smaller breast is augmented, the larger breast may require lifting to improve overall symmetry. If volume differences are minimal but nipple position varies, a more limited procedure may be appropriate.

The goal of surgery is improved symmetry and proportion. While breasts are never perfectly identical, surgical correction can significantly reduce visible imbalance. Your surgeon will review all options and recommend a plan based on your anatomy, goals, and desired final size.

Medical Services Plan (MSP) Coverage

In certain cases, the Medical Services Plan (MSP) may provide coverage for asymmetry correction. Typically, MSP covers only one component of the procedure—either augmentation of the smaller breast or reduction of the larger breast—when criteria are met.

If balancing requires surgery on both breasts, patients may choose to proceed with additional procedures privately to achieve optimal symmetry. Coverage eligibility and documentation requirements will be discussed during your consultation.

Despite the common need for surgery on both breasts for overall better balancing and aesthetics, a Medical Services Plan (MSP) often covers surgery on only one breast. Specifically, they will usually only cover either an augmentation to make the small breast bigger or a reduction to make the larger breast smaller. For that reason, some women decide to pay privately for surgery on the other breast if needed.
