The human body is made up of many pairs: two eyes, two ears, two hands. Our brains are wired to think of symmetrical pairs as attractive and a sign of good overall health. Research also shows that facial symmetry is a hallmark of what people consider beautiful. When it comes to the breasts, however, perfect symmetry is rare.
In most cases, the difference in size is minimal. Still, some women feel self-conscious about uneven breasts and wonder whether anything can be done. Breast implants can help correct unwanted asymmetry—a fact that surprises many people. When planned carefully, breast augmentation for uneven breasts can look natural, balanced, and proportionate.
Understanding Uneven Breasts
Breast asymmetry is a common issue with several possible causes, but it usually develops during puberty. Other periods of significant hormone fluctuations, such as during pregnancy and breastfeeding, can also create breast imbalances. For most women, the size difference is slight and can’t be easily seen when wearing a traditional bra. However, if you find your uneven breast size is noticeable and distracting, you may want to consider a surgical solution.
How Asymmetrical Breast Augmentation Can Help
Breast augmentation involves more than just inserting implants. A trusted, board-certified plastic surgeon can create beautiful results by carefully assessing the breasts’ shape and symmetry—with the goal of restoring balance while achieving the most natural-looking breast augmentation possible.

For women with significantly uneven breasts, we use implants of different sizes to correct the asymmetry. This gives an extra boost to the smaller breast and allows both to obtain a similar shape. If you have chosen to use silicone implants for your procedure, the specific sizes will need to be selected before the procedure. If you’re using saline implants that can be filled after being inserted, the size can be adjusted during the procedure.
Other Techniques for Beautiful Results
While breast augmentation is the most direct way to address breast asymmetry, it isn’t the only option. We can also address this issue by removing a small amount of breast tissue from the larger breast. This is typically done during a breast lift or breast reduction procedure.
Fat grafting is another tool we may use during your breast augmentation. This process involves removing a small amount of fat from another area of the body and injecting it into the smaller breast. This technique is best suited for women seeking subtle, natural-looking results. Your doctor will be able to guide you toward the best solution for your needs.
Breast Asymmetry & Breast Augmentation FAQs
Is it normal to have uneven breasts?
Yes. Breast asymmetry is extremely common, and most women have some degree of difference in size, shape, or position between their breasts. In many cases, the variation is mild and considered completely normal.
How do you fix one breast bigger than the other?
The most effective way to correct uneven breasts is through a customized surgical plan. This may include:
- Using breast implants of different sizes
- Reducing volume in the larger breast
- Combining breast augmentation with a lift or fat grafting
Your surgeon will recommend the approach that best restores balance while preserving natural proportions.
Will uneven breasts even out on their own?
Breast asymmetry that develops during puberty may stabilize over time, but it typically does not fully correct itself in adulthood. Sudden or rapid changes in breast size should always be evaluated by a medical professional.
What is the most natural-looking breast augmentation?
The most natural-looking breast augmentation depends on implant type, placement, size selection, and your existing breast anatomy. Silicone implants, careful volume matching, and precise surgical technique are often key factors in achieving soft, natural-looking results.
Which doctor should I consult for uneven breast size?
A board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in breast augmentation and asymmetry correction is best qualified to evaluate your concerns and recommend appropriate treatment options.
