BALANCE. SYMMETRY. PROPORTION.
Surgical correction of breast asymmetry, improving balance and proportion with techniques chosen for your anatomy.
ABOUT THE SERVICE
Breast asymmetry correction is a surgical procedure planned to give more symmetrical, naturally proportioned breasts. Whether the difference is in size, shape or position, Prof. Hindocha restores balance using the most appropriate technique for your anatomy.
Depending on your case, treatment may involve breast augmentation, breast reduction, a lift (mastopexy), or a carefully planned combination of these approaches. Every procedure is individual, and some patients need multiple consultations to determine the optimal plan.
Prof. Hindocha uses advanced surgical techniques to minimise scarring whilst maximising aesthetic outcomes, with incisions placed discreetly within natural breast contours.
Which technique suits you follows from what caused the difference in the first place. The guide to the causes of breast asymmetry and the treatment options goes through each route, and the thresholds the NHS applies where funding is a question.

★★★★★
After years of being unhappy with my breasts after breastfeeding, I'm so glad I trusted my instincts and waited until I found the right surgeon. From my first consultation, Professor Hindocha made me feel completely at ease and I knew I could trust him. I'm only a week post-op and already love my results. I feel incredibly lucky to have found him and truly believe I found the best surgeon.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Answers to the questions patients most commonly ask before booking their consultation with Prof. Hindocha.
Most breast asymmetry develops naturally during puberty due to hormonal influences, or following pregnancy, breastfeeding or significant weight changes. In some cases it may result from previous surgery. Whatever the cause, correction is planned around your anatomy.
Yes. Prof. Hindocha’s goal is always proportionate, natural-looking results that complement your individual frame. The surgical approach (augmentation, reduction, lift or a combination) is chosen for your anatomy and goals.
Most procedures take between 1.5 and 3 hours depending on the complexity of the correction required. Patients are usually discharged the same day following a period of post-operative monitoring.
Incisions are carefully placed within natural breast contours: along the fold, around the areola, or in areas concealed by clothing. Scars are typically well-hidden and fade significantly over 12 to 18 months.
Most patients return to light work within 2–3 weeks and to all physical activity by 6 weeks. You will wear a supportive sports bra throughout recovery. Prof. Hindocha provides detailed personalised guidance at each follow-up.
Good candidates are in sound physical health, have completed breast development, are at a stable weight and have realistic expectations. A thorough consultation with Prof. Hindocha is the only way to determine suitability for your specific situation.
