Breast Asymmetry Chicago, IL

Introduction to Breast Asymmetry

If you have found that your breast asymmetry is significant enough that it interferes with your daily life, it is probably time to have Dr. Laurie Casas evaluate your breasts.

In Chicago and on Chicago’s North Shore, for over 35 years, Dr. Laurie Casas has been helping individuals better understand their options for correcting breast asymmetry, which can be either congenital or acquired.

In cases of congenital breast asymmetry, the individual developed at puberty, and their breasts developed with significant asymmetries in size and or shape. In cases of acquired breast asymmetry, the individual now has breasts that are very different in size and shape, possibly because of pregnancy, nursing, weight gain or loss, or previous surgery.

What Is Breast Asymmetry?

Breast asymmetry refers to a noticeable difference in size, shape, position, or volume between the breasts. While it is completely normal for most women to have slight asymmetry, some differences are more pronounced and can affect how clothing fits, how bras sit, and overall body proportions.

In more significant cases, one breast may be fuller, sit higher or lower, or develop differently altogether. This can happen during puberty, when the breasts grow unevenly, or later in life due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes, or previous surgery.

Correction may involve breast augmentation, reduction, a lift, or a combination of procedures. The goal is to bring the breasts into better balance so they appear more even in both size and position.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Breast Asymmetry?

Candidates are typically women in the Chicago area who have a noticeable difference in breast size, shape, or position that they want to correct. This can include those who have had asymmetry since development, as well as those who noticed changes after pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or prior procedures.

It is also important that breast development is complete before moving forward with surgery.

What Are the Benefits of Breast Asymmetry?

Correcting breast asymmetry improves balance between the breasts, which changes how the entire upper body looks in and out of clothing. Bras fit more evenly, tops and dresses sit properly, and there is less need to compensate with padding or specialty garments.

Uneven weight distribution between the breasts can sometimes lead to discomfort, especially in cases where one breast is significantly larger. Addressing that difference can help reduce strain on the shoulders and back.

What’s the First Step?

The first step is a consultation with Dr. Laurie Casas at Casas Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in Glenview, on the North Shore. During this visit, she examines the breasts to assess differences in size, shape, skin quality, and position.

You will go over your concerns in detail, including what you notice day to day and what you would like to change. Based on that, Dr. Casas outlines a plan. This may involve increasing volume on one side, reducing the other, lifting one or both breasts, or combining techniques to give you that balanced result you’re looking for.

What to Expect on the Day of Breast Asymmetry Surgery

General or sedation can be used so you are fully asleep and comfortable.

The exact steps depend on your surgical plan. If one breast needs more volume, an implant may be placed. If one breast is larger, tissue can be reduced. In cases where the breasts sit at different heights, a lift may be performed to reposition them. Many patients require a combination of these techniques to achieve proper balance.

Incisions are placed in locations that allow access while keeping scars as discreet as possible. Once the necessary adjustments are made, the incisions are closed, and you are monitored as you wake from anesthesia before going home to begin recovery.

Breast Asymmetry Recovery

Your Guide to Post-Breast Asymmetry Care

Recovery depends on which procedures are performed, but for the most part, patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and soreness during the first week. Clients will need to wear a supportive surgical bra to help maintain positioning and reduce swelling.

 

Any light activity can usually be resumed within a few days, but anything too strenuous, such as exercise and heavy lifting, should be avoided for several more weeks.

As swelling will decrease gradually, the breasts will start to settle into their new shape over the following weeks.

How Much Does Breast Asymmetry Cost in Chicago, IL?

The cost of breast asymmetry surgery in Chicago depends on your specific plan. Some patients need a small adjustment on one side, while others require a combination of procedures, such as a lift, reduction, or implant placement, to achieve proper balance.

Because of those variables, the total investment can range quite a bit. You will receive a clear, personalized quote during your consultation with Dr. Laurie Casas.
