Surgery on the unaffected breast to match a reconstructed breast for a balanced, natural appearance.


After reconstruction of one breast, a procedure on the other, unaffected breast is often needed to create balance. Depending on the reconstructed shape, this may be an augmentation, a reduction, or a lift of the other breast so the two match as closely as possible.
Symmetry surgery is a normal and planned part of breast reconstruction rather than a separate cosmetic step. The aim is balance in shape, size, and position, recognizing that two breasts are never perfectly identical.
It cannot create perfectly identical breasts, since some asymmetry is normal, and the procedure on the other breast carries its own considerations and scars.
You will receive individualized instructions. The procedure on the other breast is planned together with your reconstruction so the two are considered as one balanced result, with realistic expectations explained.
The other breast is augmented, reduced, or lifted as planned to match the reconstructed side in size, shape, and position. The result is assessed carefully against the reconstruction before closing.
Swelling and tightness are normal and settle gradually. A supportive garment is worn as advised, and activity is reintroduced as healing allows. The balanced result refines over several months.
Improved balance between the breasts is achievable. Perfect symmetry cannot be guaranteed, since natural breasts differ, and the matching procedure adds its own scars. Your surgeon explains what balance is realistic for you.
Symmetry procedures are generally safe but carry the risks of the specific operation performed. Possible risks include:
Smoking and impaired circulation raise the risk of healing problems, wound complications, and tissue loss, so honest assessment and smoking cessation are especially important in reconstructive surgery.
Reconstructive surgery at Skulpturkliniken is performed by Dr. Matteo Amoroso, a specialist plastic and reconstructive surgeon with expertise in microsurgery and super-microsurgery.
Dr. Amoroso plans symmetry procedures with consideration for how the reconstructed breast will age and change over time, for a result that maintains balance for as long as possible.
From the first consultation, Dr. Amoroso helps you understand which technique suits your situation, what is realistic, and how the procedure fits into your broader care.
