Breast Surgery

Breast asymmetry correction

Bring the breasts into closer balance in size, shape, and position, with a plan built for each side.

What it is

Breast asymmetry correction addresses noticeable differences between the breasts in size, shape, position, or nipple height. Some asymmetry is normal in everyone, but more marked differences can be present from development, can follow pregnancy or weight change, or can result from previous surgery or conditions such as tuberous breast.

Because each breast is different, correction is rarely the same on both sides. The plan may combine procedures, for example an implant on one side and a lift on the other, a reduction of the larger breast, fat transfer to even volume, or different implant sizes. The aim is closer balance, not identical breasts, which are not achievable.

Correction is tailored entirely to your anatomy and the type of asymmetry. The goal is a more symmetrical, natural, balanced appearance. All surgery carries risks, and results vary.

What it can address

  • Differences in breast size between sides
  • Differences in shape or position
  • Differences in nipple or areola height
  • Asymmetry from development, pregnancy, or weight change
  • Asymmetry after previous surgery

It cannot create perfectly identical breasts, since natural variation always remains, and it cannot prevent future change from aging, weight, or pregnancy.

Quick facts

  • Procedure time: Usually 2--4 hours depending on the plan
  • Anesthesia: General anesthesia
  • Clinic stay: Same-day discharge or overnight stay when recommended
  • Recovery: Around 2--3 weeks before social activities
  • Exercise: Strenuous activity avoided for 4--6 weeks
  • Final result: Settles over several months
  • Price: Determined after consultation

Before the procedure

You will receive detailed instructions on medication, supplements, smoking, fasting, and tests. Each breast is measured and assessed separately, and a side-specific plan is made, since correcting asymmetry usually means doing different things to each side.

During the procedure

The procedure combines the techniques agreed for each side, which may include implants of different sizes, a lift, a reduction, or fat transfer, all planned to bring the breasts into closer balance.

After the procedure

Swelling and tenderness ease over the first weeks, and may differ between sides depending on what was done to each. A support bra is worn as advised, and activity is reintroduced gradually. The balanced result refines over several months.

Results: what it can and cannot achieve

Closer balance in size, shape, and position is achievable. Correction cannot create perfectly identical breasts, cannot remove all scars, and cannot prevent future change. Some residual asymmetry is normal and expected.

Possible risks and complications

Asymmetry correction carries the risks of the techniques used. Possible risks include:

  • Bleeding or hematoma
  • Infection
  • Delayed wound healing
  • Changes in nipple or skin sensation
  • Capsular contracture where implants are used
  • Residual or recurrent asymmetry
  • Visible scarring
  • Need for further surgery

Because different procedures may be used on each side, recovery and risk can differ between breasts. Smoking and impaired circulation raise healing risks, so smoking cessation is advised.

Why Skulpturkliniken

Breast surgery by Dr. Matteo Amoroso

Asymmetry correction at Skulpturkliniken is performed by Dr. Matteo Amoroso, a specialist plastic and reconstructive surgeon whose command of anatomy and symmetry is central to planning each side individually.

Natural, balanced results

Dr. Amoroso plans correction breast by breast, choosing the least invasive combination that brings the sides into balance, for a natural, harmonious result rather than an over-corrected one.

Reconstructive precision meets aesthetic judgment

From the first consultation, Dr. Amoroso explains the type of asymmetry, the side-specific plan, and what degree of balance is realistically achievable.

Individualized assessment

Every correction begins with a detailed, side-by-side assessment. We evaluate:

  • Differences in size, shape, and position
  • Nipple and areola height on each side
  • Skin quality and degree of sagging
  • The cause and type of asymmetry
  • Which techniques suit each breast
  • Realistic expectations for balance

The best surgeon

I had a circumferential abdominoplasty with Matteo Amoroso, and I can honestly say I couldn't have wished for a better surgeon. From the moment I met Matteo, I felt the sense of security I was looking for. He was kind, attentive, and professional from the very beginning. He took the time to explain everything in detail and answered all my questions, which made me feel well-informed before the surgery. I never had to go home and wonder about anything because he was so thorough in his explanations. It's now been three weeks since my surgery, and even though the healing process is still ongoing, I'm already incredibly happy with the result. The change is greater than I had dared to hope for, and I feel so grateful that I chose Matteo. I have more surgeries I want to undergo in the future, and there's no doubt that Matteo will be my first choice then too. I warmly recommend him to anyone considering plastic surgery!

A pro

I've had two surgeries with Matteo. The first was liposuction on my stomach, and most recently, my eyes – specifically, my lower eyelids and eyebrows. Matteo suggested a unique technique for my eyebrows that no other surgeon had proposed. This allowed me to remove excess skin under my eyebrows without needing an eyebrow or forehead lift, which I wasn't interested in. I'm extremely happy with the results of both my procedures. Matteo is a true professional; he loves his work, and you're always met with kindness and genuine care. He's an excellent communicator, explaining everything clearly and answering all questions and concerns. You feel completely confident in his knowledge and experience. Matteo also has a wonderful ability to make you feel understood; he listens carefully and is just as dedicated and invested as you are in achieving a successful procedure and outcome. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Matteo. I've had surgery 6 times in total, with the last two being with him. Whatever my next procedure may be, I will undoubtedly choose Matteo first again.

The best surgeon

Matteo is an incredibly skilled surgeon whom I highly recommend. I underwent a major tummy tuck, and from the very first consultation, Matteo was professional, calm, and very accessible. He took the time to answer all my questions and made me feel secure, involved, and well-informed throughout the entire process. He thoroughly explained the procedure, recovery, and what results I could expect, which gave me great confidence going into the surgery. Everything went very well without any complications, and I am very happy with the result. I would undoubtedly choose Matteo again if I were to have more procedures in the future.

The best choice for a plastic surgeon!

Dr. Amoroso has performed several operations on me, including a neck and facelift with fat grafting, a lip lift, eyelid surgery, breast and tummy tucks, and liposuction on my knees. All operations have been successful and exceeded my expectations. I have worked with doctors for 50 years and am very impressed by Dr. Amoroso's artistry and skill. He is truly an asset to this profession and to patients who desire excellent results and the peace of mind that comes from being cared for in a responsible and professional manner.
