Breast asymmetry
What is it?
Breast asymmetry is common. When it is marked or bothersome, several techniques can rebalance the two breasts: augmentation on one side, reduction or lift on the other, or lipofilling.
Who is it for?
It concerns people bothered by a difference in volume or shape between the two breasts.
How it is done
Precise analysis during the consultation, a strategy adapted to each breast, procedure usually as a day case.
Anaesthesia
Usually general anaesthesia.
Recovery
Variable depending on the procedures performed on each side.
The result
The aim is better harmony; perfect symmetry does not exist naturally.
Risks
Like any procedure, this one carries risks that are rare but real (infection, haematoma, healing problems, asymmetry, reaction to anaesthesia...). They are explained in detail during the consultation, with written information.
Frequently asked questions
Is it covered by insurance?
In France, some major asymmetries may be covered by the national health insurance after approval; this is assessed during the consultation.
How long between the consultation and the procedure?
For cosmetic surgery, French law requires a reflection period of at least 15 days after the detailed quote is given.
Where does the procedure take place?
The consultation takes place at the practice, 11 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, 75008 Paris. Surgical procedures are performed in an authorised facility.
I live abroad: how should I organise my trip?
Contact the practice by phone or e-mail. A first consultation in Paris is required; then plan for the 15-day reflection period and stay long enough after the procedure for the first follow-up visits.
