Breast asymmetry is a common concern among women, and it refers to a noticeable difference in size, shape, or position between the breasts. While some degree of asymmetry is normal and expected, severe cases can cause emotional distress and impact self-confidence.

Triple board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Mehta may recommend breast augmentation or lift surgery to produce the desired results.

So, what is a mommy makeover, and how do cosmetic procedures like breast augmentation work? If you are researching plastic surgery, call now for an appointment in Sherman, TX. Our experienced team can provide answers to your questions during a consultation.

Understanding breast asymmetry

Breast asymmetry may be the result of genetics, hormone changes, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or previous surgeries. It can affect one or both breasts, and the severity ranges from mild differences in size to significant variations in shape and position.

Many women with breast asymmetry feel self-conscious or struggle with finding clothes that fit correctly. This condition may also lead to physical discomfort, such as back pain or difficulty with exercise. A mommy makeover may be the solution to these issues.

What is a mommy makeover?

You may have heard the term before, but what is a mommy makeover? It refers to a combination of cosmetic procedures that aim to restore your pre-pregnancy body. While the name suggests it is only for mothers, almost anyone looking to manage aesthetic concerns due to age or weight loss can benefit from a mommy makeover.

The most common procedures in a mommy makeover are breast augmentation, breast lift surgery, tummy tuck, and liposuction. However, depending on your goals, other surgeries may also be recommended. During a mommy makeover consultation in Sherman, TX, Dr. Mehta will discuss your concerns and create a personalized treatment plan.

How do breast augmentation and breast lift surgery correct asymmetry?

Breast augmentation involves placing medical-grade implants to increase the size and improve the shape of breasts. It can add volume to one or both breasts to achieve better symmetry and create a balanced look.

On the other hand, breast lift surgery focuses on addressing sagging or drooping breasts. It involves removing extra folds of skin and reshaping the breast tissue to give a firmer, lifted appearance. A breast lift can also adjust the position of the nipples and areolas.

These surgeries can be performed alone or combined for optimal results. Dr. Mehta has extensive experience performing both cosmetic procedures and can help you achieve your desired outcomes.

What are the benefits of a mommy makeover?

By addressing breast asymmetry and other aesthetic concerns, a mommy makeover can provide numerous benefits, including:

  • Enhanced breast symmetry and proportion
  • Improved self-confidence and body image
  • Better fitting clothes and increased clothing options
  • Relief from discomfort such as back pain
  • Long-lasting results with proper maintenance and care

Dr. Mehta is hands down amazing!! If you want to not only look amazing but feel amazing after surgery, then look no further! I had a breast augmentation with lift last year by a surgeon in the metroplex and was under the impression that I would be getting 380ml implants going into surgery. I went home with a drain on each side of my breasts and when I was finally awake enough, and read over my paperwork, I discovered my implant size was only 295ml!!! The previous surgeon told me that it was because I didn’t have enough skin to stretch any bigger of implant into and even with the 295ml implants, he had barely enough tissue to stitch back together!! Due to him stitching my skin so tightly it lost blood flow and became necrotic immediately!!! After 6 months of healing and being off of work: not being able to take a shower, only sponge baths for 3 months, having multiple debridements by the previous surgeon and his NP’s, having a wound vac for 3 of those months to my breasts, leaving that previous surgeon because I thought I was going to die due to the tissue kept dying, getting deeper and more necrotic each week that went by, to seeking help from a wound care professional, I finally healed, but was left with horrible scarring and hating the appearance of my breasts, that honestly looked no different than before surgery!!! Fast forward one year. I was in a car wreck and due to impact from the air bag, and pain/injury to my breasts, I was referred by a friend and co-worker to Dr. Mehta, and thank God I was!! He was upfront with me from the beginning. He told me that he would try his best to go a little bigger with my implant size, but was unsure if that would be possible, and I was just happy knowing what to expect waking up from surgery, and knowing that my breasts would be repaired and corrected at least!! Waking up from surgery with Dr. Mehta, I was told by his amazing staff in the surgery center that he was able to place 385ml implants, after all!! Immediately, you could see cleavage, unlike before, and my postop instructions has been a breeze!!! I didn’t have 1 drain leaving the surgery center, was able to shower 2 days after surgery, went back to work 1 week later, and I still can’t believe how easy he made this surgery!! The previous surgeon had even put me on antibiotics and Gabapentin prior to the surgery, and I kept asking Dr Mehta and his office if I needed this and was so scared that I would, but I didn’t and haven’t needed it at all!! I was traumatized by the previous surgeon and I am 100% sure I have PTSD from my prior experience, but Dr. Mehta has restored my faith in Plastic Surgery, and I WILL NEVER go to anyone else but DR. MEHTA!!!! I can’t praise him or thank him enough!! My outcome being just 3 weeks out is amazing and I’m so happy with my results!! Everyone comments on how much different my appearance looks now in just T Shirts, and my husband’s sanity has also been at ease because of the experience this time!!! If I could give Dr. Mehta 100 stars in this review I would!! So, again, if you are looking for a kind, honest, caring, and professional surgeon, I can promise you that you’ve found it Dr. Mehta!!! 🖤🖤🖤

Dr Mehta performed my trigger finger surgery and I've had terrific results. I had abdominoplasty-extended with flank and central liposuction plus mastopexy in Dec 2023. The results I've had with this surgery has surpassed all of my expectations in my wildest dreams! I couldn't have asked for better results ! Dr Mehta and his staff are awesome and I would recommend them for anyone looking for skilled surgeon that truly cares for his patients!
