Breast Augmentation for Asymmetry Correction | Fix Unevenness & Lopsidedness

Breast asymmetry is far more common than most women realize. Almost every woman has some degree of unevenness between her breasts — whether in size, shape, position, or nipple alignment. In many cases the difference is subtle, but for some women, noticeable asymmetry can affect confidence, posture, clothing choices, and even intimacy.

Fortunately, today’s advanced breast augmentation techniques allow for precise correction of breast asymmetry, restoring balance, harmony, and confidence. At Feel Beautiful Plastic Surgery in San Diego, Dr. Steve Laverson has dedicated his career to helping women achieve natural, proportionate, and long-lasting results with a meticulous approach that prioritizes artistry, safety, and individuality.

Understanding Breast Asymmetry

Breast asymmetry can present in many different ways:

• Size differences – one breast noticeably larger or smaller than the other.
• Shape differences – one rounder, fuller, or differently contoured.
• Nipple/areola position – uneven height or projection.
• Chest wall irregularities – rib cage shape influencing how breasts appear.

For some women, the asymmetry is mild and only noticeable when viewed closely. For others, it can be dramatic and cause self-consciousness in swimsuits, bras, or fitted clothing. Addressing these differences is not simply cosmetic — for many patients, it’s about reclaiming balance and confidence in their daily lives.

What Causes Breasts to Develop Unevenly?

Several factors contribute to breast asymmetry:

• Natural development & genetics: Breasts rarely develop in perfect symmetry, and differences often become more pronounced with age.
• Hormonal changes: Puberty, pregnancy, and menopause can all cause uneven growth.
• Weight fluctuations: Changes in body composition may affect one breast differently than the other.
• Medical history: Previous surgery, injury, or trauma can result in unevenness.
• Underlying conditions: Developmental differences such as Poland syndrome or tuberous breasts.

Understanding the cause helps guide the best surgical solution for each patient.

How Breast Augmentation Restores Balance

Breast augmentation is one of the most effective methods of correcting asymmetry. The procedure can:

• Correct size differences by placing a different volume implant in each breast.
• Improve shape and contour for a natural, harmonious result.
• Restore proportion so the breasts align with the patient’s frame and body type.
• Enhance confidence by reducing visible unevenness in clothing and swimwear.

Augmentation can also be combined with additional procedures such as a breast lift (to adjust nipple position or sagging) or breast reduction (to match a smaller breast).

Dr. Laverson’s Approach – Why Time and Detail Matter

One of the most important distinctions in breast asymmetry correction is the surgeon’s approach. While some surgeons prioritize efficiency, Dr. Steve Laverson is known for taking extra time to achieve precise, natural-looking results.

• Custom design for each patient – Dr. Laverson doesn’t believe in cookie-cutter surgery. He tailors the operation to your anatomy and goals.
• Meticulous technique – Multiple layers of suturing for stability and scar concealment, closure under magnification, and nerve visualization to preserve sensation.
• Intraoperative adjustments – He repositions patients upright during surgery to check symmetry in real time, making refinements until balance is achieved.
• Artistry and craftsmanship – With a background as an artist and decades of surgical expertise, Dr. Laverson blends science with aesthetics to create natural contours.

This careful, deliberate process means operations may take longer than average, but the payoff is results that last — both structurally and aesthetically.

“Because it’s the only result you’ll ever have and will be part of you forever, it must be a spectacular production. We do more for you, so it takes longer — but the result is worth it.” – Dr. Steve Laverson

Ideal Candidates for Corrective Breast Augmentation

Not every woman with asymmetry needs surgery, but ideal candidates often include:

• Women with noticeable differences in size or shape between breasts.
• Those whose unevenness affects self-image, posture, or clothing fit.
• Patients seeking proportional balance rather than dramatic enlargement.
• Individuals in good health with realistic expectations for outcome.

During your consultation, Dr. Laverson listens closely to your concerns and works to fully understand your vision. His goal is not just to correct differences, but to create results that feel uniquely yours.

What to Expect During and After Surgery

Consultation & Planning
Your journey begins with a private consultation where Dr. Laverson evaluates your anatomy, discusses your goals, and designs a tailored surgical plan. He uses his 30+ years of experience and more than 50,000 procedures performed to recommend the safest, most effective options.

During Surgery
The procedure is performed under anesthesia at an accredited surgical facility. Using advanced techniques, Dr. Laverson carefully places implants — sometimes of different sizes — and makes adjustments until both breasts appear balanced and natural.

Recovery & Healing

• Most patients return home the same day.
• Swelling and discomfort peak within the first few days, improving steadily thereafter.
• Light activity is resumed within a week, with exercise and full recovery taking several weeks.
• Results are long-lasting, with many women enjoying improved symmetry for decades.

Alternative & Complementary Procedures

Breast implants are not the only solution for asymmetry. Depending on your needs, Dr. Laverson may recommend:

• Breast Lift (Mastopexy) – Corrects nipple/areola position and sagging for better alignment.
• Breast Reduction – Reduces the larger breast to match the smaller, creating balance.
• Fat Transfer – Uses your own fat for subtle contour adjustments or to refine implant results.

These procedures may be performed alone or in combination with augmentation for optimal balance.
