NYC Breast Asymmetry Correction

The price for breast asymmetry correction surgery depends on the type of procedure you need and if you are combining your breast asymmetry correction with another procedure, like a breast lift. After your initial consultation with Dr. Maman, our specialized surgical coordinators will provide you with an itemized price quote.

Although meeting with Dr. Maman is the best way to determine if you are a good candidate for a breast asymmetry correction procedure, patients who are generally healthy, non-smokers, with fully matured but significantly uneven breasts see excellent results.

You may have numbness and a loss of sensitivity in your nipples immediately after your surgery, but this situation will likely resolve within a few months. If nipple sensation is important to you, make sure you bring it up in our consultation with Dr. Maman. He can make sure your surgical procedure plan uses techniques more likely to preserve feeling in your nipples.

If you were able to breastfeed before your correction surgery, even with your asymmetry, you should be able to breastfeed afterward. It is important Dr. Maman knows if you are hoping to breastfeed in the future, as that will impact your surgical plan.

Dr. Maman usually performs breast asymmetry correction surgeries at an in-office, AAAASF-certified facility or an outpatient ambulatory surgery center (ASC). He also has operating privileges at Mount Sinai Hospital, Lenox Hill Hospital, New York Eye & Ear Infirmary, and Englewood Hospital. We work with you to select the best facility for your needs.

Your surgery can last between two and four hours, depending on your clinical presentation. Combining your correction with another procedure like a breast lift or tummy tuck will increase your time in the operating room.

While it depends on what type of procedures you are hoping to combine, the answer is generally yes. Combining procedures can minimize overall recovery time and reduce costs. Dr. Maman will work with you to find the best way to achieve your cosmetic goals with the least amount of operating time so you can get back to living your life.

Recovery from breast asymmetry surgery is similar to recovery from other cosmetic breast procedures. Bruising, soreness, and swelling are all to be expected. You will likely be able to return to work after a few days, but your results will be better if you closely follow the postoperative activity restrictions and guidelines Dr. Maman provides.

While you will notice an immediate difference in your bustline, it can be several months before you see your final results. Since breast asymmetry correction is a major surgery, it is normal for swelling to take as much as 12 weeks to fully subside.

You can go back to light, lower-body only exercise like spinning or walking after two weeks. Workouts that involve your upper body, like yoga, weight lifting, and swimming, should be avoided for four to six weeks after your surgery.

It is important to remember that feeling recovered is not the same as actually being healed. Easing back into your fitness regimen will reduce the risk of complications and protect your results.

Dr. Maman will provide you with detailed scar treatment protocols, medical-grade creams, and tapes to minimize your scarring.

Because we value our patients’ health and satisfaction above everything else, we do not charge for post-operative visits, whether they are part of your detailed follow-up plan during the first year after surgery or the annual visits that we recommend to ensure your final results are maintained.
