Breast Asymmetry

Significant breast asymmetry is corrected with a made-to-measure composite plan — combining augmentation, reduction or lift, implants of different sizes and fat transfer — treating both breasts as a pair. Dr Thomas Colson also treats the breast component of Poland syndrome.

The approach

Both breasts, addressed as a pair

Most women have a small natural asymmetry; when the difference is significant — in volume, shape or position, or developmental as in Poland syndrome — it is corrected with a made-to-measure composite plan.

Depending on the case, Dr Colson may augment one side and lift or reduce the other, use implants of different sizes, and add fat transfer to fine-tune each breast independently — treating the two as a pair rather than in isolation.

Poland syndrome

Dr Colson treats the breast component of Poland syndrome with the same composite, made-to-measure approach, rebuilding volume and symmetry with implant and fat.

A developmental indication may be eligible for coverage

Where asymmetry is developmental or congenital, correction may carry a reconstructive indication; a pre-authorisation request can be assessed individually with Daman or Thiqa within the SEHA network.

A note on privacy and results

In line with UAE Department of Health guidelines on modesty and medical advertising, breast surgical results are not published online. Outcomes relevant to your own anatomy are reviewed privately during your consultation, alongside a Crisalix 3D simulation of your planned result.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How is breast asymmetry corrected?
Significant asymmetry is corrected with a made-to-measure composite plan. Depending on the difference, Dr Colson may augment one side and lift or reduce the other, use implants of different sizes, and add fat transfer to fine-tune shape and volume on each side independently — so both breasts are addressed as a pair, not in isolation.
Can implants of different sizes be used for each breast?
Yes. When the two sides differ in volume, Dr Colson can select a different implant for each breast and refine the result further with the patient's own fat. This is central to his composite, made-to-measure approach to asymmetry.
Does Dr Colson treat Poland syndrome?
Yes — he treats the breast component of Poland syndrome (a congenital underdevelopment of the breast and chest on one side) using the same composite, made-to-measure approach, combining implant and fat to rebuild volume and symmetry.
Is developmental breast asymmetry covered by insurance?
Where the asymmetry is developmental or congenital — including Poland syndrome — correction may carry a reconstructive indication. A pre-authorisation request can be assessed individually within the SEHA network and with insurers such as Daman or Thiqa.
Will my breasts be perfectly identical afterwards?
The goal is balanced, natural symmetry rather than a perfect match — no two breasts, even naturally, are identical. A Crisalix 3D simulation at consultation helps set a realistic, shared goal before surgery.
