How does asymmetry correction work?
Asymmetry correction uses no fixed technique. Depending on the cause and degree of asymmetry, breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast lift, and lipofilling can be combined.
When can asymmetry correction help?
The treatment can be useful for clear differences in breast volume, shape, nipple position, or excess skin. Asymmetry after development, pregnancy, weight change, or previous surgery can also be discussed.
During the consultation, medical history, clinical examination, and measurements are performed. The final approach depends on your anatomy and what is medically appropriate.
Recovery after asymmetry correction
Duration, anesthesia, and recovery are variable because the procedure may consist of lift, reduction, augmentation, lipofilling, or a combination. This is made concrete in advance in your treatment plan.
After surgery, you follow the aftercare of the chosen technique: often support dressing or support bra, check-ups, scar treatment, and avoiding heavy exertion. With combined corrections, recovery may take longer. You receive clear guidance in advance on what to expect, how to prepare, and what follow-up is needed.
Often suitable for
- the difference between both breasts is clearly bothersome
- you are seeking a realistic improvement
Assess first
- minimal asymmetry
- unstable weight
- expectations of perfect symmetry require caution
Practical recovery
- Duration: Variable
- Anesthesia: To be determined during consultation
- Recovery: Depending on technique
- Result: Better balance
For breast asymmetry correction we choose an approach that fits your expectations, with precise technique and smooth recovery.

A clear path with personal guidance, from the first conversation to a beautiful and natural result.
-
Consultation
We discuss your request, examine the area, and go through technique, scars, risks, preparation, and recovery for asymmetry correction.
-
Preparation
Medication, blood thinners, smoking cessation where needed, and practical planning are reviewed in advance.
-
Procedure
The duration of asymmetry correction is variable and anesthesia is determined during the consultation. The technique follows the treatment plan discussed in advance.
-
Recovery
Recovery: Depending on technique. You receive instructions for wound care, support garments, pain relief, and activity.
-
Check-ups and follow-up
During check-ups, we monitor wound healing, scars, and results and calmly discuss any adjustments if needed.
Frequently asked questions about asymmetry correction
Is asymmetry correction painful?
During asymmetry correction, you feel no pain thanks to the chosen anesthesia. After surgery, tension, tenderness, or swelling may occur. Simple pain relief is usually sufficient, but you receive personal instructions according to the extent of the procedure.
What scars will I have with asymmetry correction?
Incisions inevitably leave scars. Dr. Muyldermans places them as discreetly as possible and discusses their location in advance. Scar care with pressure, hydration, silicone, or sun protection may be advised, and a scar usually only settles after months to a year.
When will I see results from asymmetry correction?
Swelling and scars evolve gradually. The early result gives direction, but the final result often takes several months.
Is follow-up needed after asymmetry correction?
Yes. Check-ups are important to monitor wound healing, support garments, sutures, swelling, scars, and results. Timing differs per procedure, but the first check-up is often within the first week or two weeks.
What risks or complications are possible with asymmetry correction?
Every asymmetry correction carries possible risks. These include the risks of the chosen techniques, such as bleeding, infection, scars, changes in sensation, asymmetry, and need for revision. We review these carefully in advance and discuss measures to limit them.
