Achieve Balanced Breasts: Expert Solutions for Asymmetry

Building on the teachings of renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Maxwell and his clinical studies using 4-D imaging, it is evident that all women experience some degree of asymmetry. While subtle differences between breasts are completely natural, Dr. Unger uses this understanding to guide surgical planning, addressing these nuances to help achieve your desired aesthetic goals.

When family traits, changes during pregnancy, or trauma have left your breasts looking dramatically different from each other, this imbalanced shape can damage your self-confidence and sense of well-being. Dr. Unger is highly skilled and experienced in evaluating and treating these conditions.

Breast Asymmetry Correction Can:

  • Restore a more even shape, volume, and position to the breast mound
  • Refine the shape and dimensions of the breasts
  • Address discrepancies in the position of the nipple or breast crease
  • Correct imbalances resulting from mastectomy, family traits, physical trauma, or another surgeon’s unsuccessful surgery
  • Help make activities like clothes shopping more enjoyable

Planning Your Procedure

Dr. Unger’s patients benefit significantly from the teachings of NPSI’s founder, who was the inventor/creator of the most advanced 4-D breast imaging system available, the designer of the newest line of form-stable “teardrop” implants (the Natrelle 410 or” gummy bear implant,” as well as the entire “Natrelle Collection” of implants), and an innovator in effective new breast enhancement techniques. The surgeons at NPSI are uniquely skilled and experienced in offering procedures that pay special attention to both aesthetic appeal and surgical precision.

Each breast asymmetry patient in Nashville is unique, so Dr. Unger will carefully examine your medical history, your current breast shape, and your desires before recommending a specific, personalized approach focused on your goals in order to help you plan a procedure that creates the appearance you want.

Typical choices involved in breast asymmetry correction include the following:

  • Implant type and placement: Our founder’s vast experience in designing, developing, and applying breast implants for asymmetry correction allows us to offer a wide range of implant options. These include saline, traditional silicone gel, and form-stable (“teardrop” or “gummy bear”) silicone gel implants, ensuring personalized solutions for every patient. Under Dr. Unger’s expert guidance, a detailed analysis will determine not only the implant that best suits your needs but also the most appropriate incision and surgical technique tailored to your unique anatomy. During your consultation, Dr. Unger will thoroughly discuss the benefits and considerations of each option, empowering you to make an informed decision that aligns with your goals and body.
  • Combination approaches: Due to the many variations of breast asymmetries, some patients require a more complex approach to achieve satisfying results. In some cases, implants with slight or greater size or shape differences may achieve the desired results. In other cases, it will be necessary to reposition the nipple, refine the areola, or adjust the position of the breast mound through a breast lift, which may also include an enlargement as well.
  • Special considerations: Some women are born with breasts that never develop, chest muscles that are missing, or chest bone shapes that are uneven and unsightly. This can become a physical and emotional burden during the teenage years when breasts are normally developing. Childhood surgical procedures or trauma can also keep breasts from developing normally, and for mature women, disease or cancer can result in partial or total breast removal and possible negative changes from radiation treatment. Reconstructing the breast mound after breast cancer or other conditions requires the highest level of care and skill. Dr. Unger, a renowned authority in this area, offers breast reconstruction in Nashville, TN, using the world’s most sophisticated techniques customized to your specific needs, desires, and personal situation. After careful analysis of your condition, he will be happy to recommend an approach designed specifically to fit your goals. Dr. Unger utilizes state-of-the-art techniques and facilities for each of the procedures so that the patients can rest assured that their safety and results are the utmost priority. Many of these procedures will be performed in the NPSI OR Suite located in his private clinic. Others will be performed at the nearby Baptist Hospital or Baptist Surgical Outpatient Center (Surgicare). Hotels are conveniently located for out-of-town patients.
