Breast Asymmetry (Anisomastia) Surgery in Essex
What Happens During Breast Asymmetry Surgery?
During breast asymmetry surgery, Mat Griffiths will use techniques tailored to your specific needs. Depending on the nature of your asymmetry, the procedure may involve asymmetric augmentation for more minor differences, reducing the larger side alone or sometimes bilateral asymmetric uplift or reduction.
Surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and takes 2 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity. After the surgery, your breasts will be dressed, and you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to aid your recovery. Some discomfort and swelling are normal.
Mat Griffiths will provide support and follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and ensure optimal results.

What is breast asymmetry?
Breast asymmetry is a common condition in which one breast is of a different size or shape from the other.
The difference can be subtle and barely noticeable, or in some cases, several cup sizes apart.
Why are some breasts asymmetrical?
Breast asymmetry is very common; most women have one breast that is slightly smaller or shaped differently than the other, and this natural variation is usually nothing to worry about.
In some cases, however, a more noticeable asymmetry can develop if one breast is underdeveloped or overdeveloped compared to the other.
What are the surgical options for correcting breast asymmetry?
There are a couple of effective surgical options to correct breast asymmetry. Depending on your goals, this may involve a breast reduction on the larger breast or the use of breast implants to enhance the smaller breast so that both are a similar size.
Mr. Griffiths will discuss the best approach for your individual needs during your consultation.
What is the expected recovery time after breast asymmetry surgery?
Recovery varies from person to person, but as a general guideline, plan to take 2 weeks off work and avoid driving during this time. Strenuous exercise and vigorous activity should be avoided for at least 6 weeks to allow proper healing.
Mr Griffiths will provide tailored aftercare advice and support throughout your recovery.
