TESTIMONIAL: There are no words to express my gratitude to Dr. Basner. I have struggled with being self conscious about my breast asymmetry since I was 13. I wouldn’t even go the pool with my friends because I was too embarrassed to wear a bathing suit. Since my surgery, I have a whole new lease on life. I am so much more confident and happy. I am very thankful to him and his staff for helping me overcome my body image issues. P.M.

Frequently Asked Questions about Procedures for Breast Asymmetry

Is an implant always needed?

Depending the degree of asymmetry, an implant may be used, but is not always necessary.

Will there be scarring?

At the time of your consultation, you and leading Baltimore breast augmentation surgeon Dr. Basner will decide which procedures are best for you. At that time he will explain in the surgery in detail and show you where the incisions will be placed. For many, the incisions are very limited, for others they are similar to breast lift scars.

Will my insurance cover this procedure?

In some cases insurance may cover a breast reduction – even if it is only to one breast. In most cases, procedures related to breast asymmetry are considered cosmetic and not covered by insurance.

What will my recovery be like?

Your recovery will depend on the specific procedures you need, but in general, you can generally return to work within one week, provided there is no strenuous activity involved. We advise that any sexual activity be avoided for at least the first week. Any heavy lifting, straining, and overexertion should also be avoided. We will recommend when you can resume your normal activities, based on the extent of your surgery and your lifestyle. It may be six months before your breasts achieve their final shape.
