Breast asymmetry correction in Wrocław
Breast asymmetry correction evens out differences in the size, shape or position of the breasts - present from puberty or appearing after pregnancy, breastfeeding or surgery. The plan is always individual and may combine enlarging one breast with reducing or lifting the other. At Luna Clinic in Wrocław it is planned and performed by Dr Aleksandra Łuniewska.

Breast asymmetry correction - what does the procedure involve?
Breast asymmetry correction is a surgical procedure aimed at evening out the shape, size and position of the breasts. In some patients the asymmetry is congenital, in others it develops after pregnancy, breastfeeding, operations or injuries. At Luna Clinic each patient is qualified individually - the plan may include enlarging one breast, reducing the other, a lift, or a combination of several techniques, in order to restore the harmony of the figure and the patient’s psychological comfort.
A certain breast asymmetry is natural and affects most women - we suggest the procedure when the difference is pronounced (e.g. a whole cup size), visible in clothing or lowers the patient’s psychological comfort. We combine techniques freely: an implant on one side, mastopexy on the other, lipofilling to even out the contour.
Indications for the procedure
Whether the procedure is advisable for you is ultimately decided by the doctor during the consultation.
- Visible breast asymmetry (size, shape, position of the nipples)
- Differences in the volume of the breast gland (e.g. after breastfeeding)
- Asymmetry after surgical procedures (e.g. after removal of cysts or nodules)
- Poland syndrome or other congenital defects
- Aesthetic discomfort, difficulty choosing underwear and clothing
Contraindications
How to prepare for the procedure?
The procedure is always preceded by a qualification consultation with a plastic surgeon - we discuss expectations, examine the area to be operated on and establish an individual treatment plan. As standard, we order a full set of tests (blood count, coagulation, electrolytes, ECG for general anaesthesia) and, if necessary, additional specialist consultations.
- Consultation with a plastic surgeon for qualification, discussing expectations and the treatment plan
- Laboratory tests
- Stopping anticoagulant medications at least 14 days before the operation (after consulting a doctor)
- Avoiding alcohol and cigarette smoking for at least 14 days before the procedure - for better healing
The breast-asymmetry-correction procedure step by step
Recovery and post-procedure recommendations
- In the first days pain, swelling and temporary asymmetry are possible - this is natural and subsides over time
- A post-operative bra should be worn for at least 6 weeks
- Avoid movements that raise the arms, lifting and exertion for at least 4 weeks
- No sun exposure of the scars for at least 6 months
- After 4-6 weeks, scar massage and the use of healing-support products can be started
- Check-ups: 7 days, 4 weeks, 3 months, 6 and 12 months after the procedure
Treatment effects
The result of breast asymmetry correction is a symmetrical, harmonious bust - evened out in terms of size, shape and nipple position. The effect is visible immediately after the procedure, and we make a full assessment after 3-6 months. For most patients it is the end of a years-long complex.
The aim of the operation is to achieve symmetry between the breasts in terms of size, shape and position. The effects are visible immediately after the operation, but a full assessment is possible after about 6 months, when the swelling subsides and the tissues settle. The scars after the procedure are located in natural skin folds or around the areola, and over time become barely visible. The effect is permanent - although ageing, pregnancy or weight fluctuations can affect the further appearance of the breasts.
Possible complications and risks
Like any surgical procedure, this one also carries a certain risk. It is reduced by careful qualification before the procedure and by following the aftercare recommendations. Possible complications include:
- Haematoma or bleeding requiring drainage
- Infection requiring antibiotic therapy
- Temporary or rarely permanent sensory disturbances in the operated area
- Hypertrophic or discoloured scars
- Asymmetry requiring correction
- Longer-lasting swelling or bruising
- An unsatisfactory aesthetic result requiring possible re-operation
Frequently asked questions
Will the result be completely symmetrical?
The aim of the operation is to even out the breasts as far as the anatomy allows - full identity is not always possible, but we achieve a natural, harmonious proportion.
Can this procedure be combined with another operation, e.g. a tummy tuck?
Yes - with good health, some procedures can be combined. The surgeon makes the decision at the planning stage.
What tests do I need to have before the operation?
Blood count, APTT (activated partial thromboplastin time), INR (international normalised ratio), CRP (C-reactive protein), sodium, potassium, creatinine. In addition, the patient must have a document confirming their blood group (valid for life). We provide the details at the consultation.
Is the procedure painful?
No. It is performed under general anaesthesia. After the operation the patient may feel moderate pain, which we control effectively with medication.
How long do you have to wear the post-operative bra?
A minimum of 8 weeks - without a break, including during sleep. The doctor will then explain which bras to wear. For up to a year there is a strict ban on going without a bra.
Will I be able to breastfeed after the procedure?
It depends on the scope of the operation. In many cases the ability to lactate is preserved, but we discuss each situation individually.
Can an implant be used on only one side?
Yes. If the difference concerns only volume, we use an implant only on the side of the smaller breast.
Will there be scars after the procedure?
Yes, but we place them so that they are as inconspicuous as possible - around the areola, in the inframammary fold or vertically below the nipple.
When can I return to work?
To office work - usually after 5-7 days. To physical work - after 3-4 weeks, following a medical check-up.
After how long is the final result visible?
We assess the full effect after 6 months - when the scars mature and the tissues settle. The final effect and full healing can be assessed after 12 months.
Is it possible to achieve perfect breast symmetry?
The goal is symmetry “in a bra and in the mirror” - breasts are never perfectly identical (even naturally), but after the procedure the differences become practically imperceptible.
Can the asymmetry return after the procedure?
The achieved symmetry is lasting, although the breasts are still subject to natural processes - pregnancy or large weight fluctuations can affect both breasts to varying degrees.
