Restoring Balance.
Enhancing Confidence.
Breast Asymmetry Correction in Chicago and Oak Brook
A little difference between breasts is completely natural – most women have it. But for some, the difference in size, shape, or position is enough to make shopping for bras tricky, certain outfits frustrating, or even just looking in the mirror a little less satisfying. Our goal is to help you feel comfortable and confident in your own skin by creating balance that looks natural and feels like you. Dr. Geldner often tells his patients, “This isn’t about changing who you are – it’s about helping you see the best version of yourself when you look in the mirror.”
Take the first step toward balance and confidence – schedule your consultation at The Geldner Center today.
What is Breast Asymmetry Correction?
Breast asymmetry correction isn’t a one-size-fits-all surgery – it’s a tailored plan designed just for you. Sometimes that means adding volume to the smaller breast with an implant or your own fat. Other times, we might reduce the larger breast, lift both breasts so the nipples are even, or do a combination of these techniques. We’ll use tools like VECTRA® 3D imaging so you can “preview” how different approaches might look before making decisions together.
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia in an accredited surgical center. Depending on what we are doing, it can take anywhere from one to a few hours. Once he has made the necessary adjustments – whether it is adding, lifting, or reshaping tissue – Dr. Geldner closes the incisions with precision so your results look smooth and balanced. You will wake up in a recovery suite, and once you are feeling ready, you can head home the very same day with clear, step-by-step instructions for a safe and comfortable recovery.

- Adults (seeking proportion, not perfection) with noticeable, persistent asymmetry
- Those bothered by fit issues – bras, tops, and swimsuits that refuse to sit right
- Patients in good general health, cleared for elective surgery
- Women who are looking for natural results, not dramatic transformation – just gentle balance
- Individuals comfortable communicating goals and following post-op care.
Your Breast Asymmetry Correction Journey
- Your Private Consultation
It all starts with an open conversation. Dr. Geldner will ask what has been bothering you, when you first noticed it, and what kind of change you’re hoping for. Then you will use VECTRA® 3D imaging so you can see potential outcomes on your own body image – no guessing. This is where we craft your personalized plan together.
- Pre-Surgery Prep
Once you have decided to move forward, you will be given a clear checklist – everything from a simple pre-op health check to instructions about eating, drinking, and medications. We will also help you choose the perfect supportive bra for after surgery.
- Surgery Day Welcome
You will arrive at the accredited surgical center in Chicago or Oak Brook and be greeted by nurses. We will review your plan together one more time so you feel completely at ease. You will meet the anesthesia team, who will keep you comfortable and safely asleep during the procedure.
- The Procedure Itself
Once you are under anesthesia, Dr. Geldner begins sculpting symmetry. That might mean:- Adding an implant or fat transfer to the smaller breast.
- Reducing or lifting the larger breast.
- Aligning nipple position and shape.
Dr. Geldner checks balance at every stage, making sure your breasts match beautifully from all angles before closing the incisions with fine, precise sutures.
- Recovery Room Care
When you wake, you will be resting comfortably in our recovery suite. The nurses will monitor you, answer questions, and review your first steps for at-home care.
- The First Week at Home
You will rest, walk a little to keep your circulation moving, and follow the easy care routine we’ve given you. Most women feel well enough to return to light activities in just a few days.
- Follow-Up Visits
Dr. Geldner will see you at regular intervals – starting the next day after surgery – so he can make sure healing is on track. This is also when you’ll start seeing your new balance emerging as swelling begins to settle.
One of the most comforting parts of breast asymmetry correction is knowing your recovery will be supported at every step. Our goal is to make sure you feel safe, cared for, and confident from the moment you leave the surgery center to your final follow-up.
Weeks 2–4
By this point, you will be feeling more like yourself. Swelling will begin to subside, and you can return to light, non-strenuous work. Your surgical bra remains your best friend – think of it as a gentle hug keeping your breasts secure while they heal.
Months 1 – 3
Your breasts will start to soften and settle into their final shape. Incisions fade from pink to a softer tone. You can gradually resume your normal fitness routine after you receive the all-clear.
Long-Term Care
Your new symmetry is here to stay, but your breasts will continue to change naturally with age, weight shifts, and life events. A supportive bra, sun protection for scars, and regular breast health checkups will help maintain your results for years to come.
And of course – if you ever have a question, no matter how small, we are always a phone call away.
Healing is just the beginning – schedule your consultation, and let us create your beautifully balanced results together
Final Results
By approximately 3 – 6 months post-procedure, the breasts will have settled into their final position and shape. Scarring continues to improve for up to a year, blending more naturally with the surrounding skin.
Emotional Impact
Beyond the physical changes, many patients report a meaningful boost in self-confidence – feeling more comfortable in swimwear, workout attire, and fitted clothing. The aim of this procedure is not only to improve symmetry but also to enhance a patient’s sense of ease and self-assurance in daily life.
Results are intended to be long-lasting, though natural aging, weight changes, and life events may influence the breasts over time. The Geldner Center provides individualized guidance to help maintain results for years to come.

While breast asymmetry correction yields high patient satisfaction, it remains a surgical procedure and carries certain risks. At The Geldner Center, patient safety is the highest priority, and all procedures are performed with the utmost precision and care.
Potential risks include:
- Scarring: Incisions are placed discreetly, but all surgery results in some degree of permanent scarring. Scars typically fade over time with proper care.
- Changes in Sensation: Temporary numbness or changes in nipple or breast sensation can occur; in rare cases, these changes may be long-lasting.
- Healing Variability: Each breast may heal at a different rate, potentially requiring minor adjustments or touch-up procedures.
- Asymmetry: While the goal is improved balance, perfect symmetry is not always possible due to natural differences in anatomy.
- Implant-Related Risks: For patients receiving implants, there is a small risk of capsular contracture, implant rupture, or shifting over time.
- General Surgical Risks: These include infection, bleeding, anesthesia complications, and delayed wound healing.
Prior to scheduling surgery, a thorough consultation is conducted to review medical history, examine breast anatomy, and discuss expectations. Patients are encouraged to share any health concerns or lifestyle factors that could influence healing or outcomes.
By approaching each case individually and providing clear pre- and post-operative instructions, The Geldner Center aims to minimize risks and promote optimal healing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Breast asymmetry can happen for many reasons, including:
• Genetics: Natural variations in development often lead to differences in breast size or shape.
• Hormonal changes: Puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, and menopause can cause one breast to respond differently to hormonal shifts.
• Pregnancy & breastfeeding: The breasts may change in volume and shape unevenly during and after these stages.
• Weight fluctuations: Gaining or losing weight can affect breast tissue and fat distribution differently in each breast.
• Medical conditions or trauma: Conditions like scoliosis, prior breast surgery, or chest injuries may also contribute to asymmetry.
No – our goal is a balanced, natural outcome. The differences are in harmony, not dramatic. You will look like a well-symmetrized you.
Most patients return to normal activities (like gentle walking) within a few days. Full healing happens over several weeks, and most wear supportive bras during that time.
We take great care to protect nerves and use refined incision techniques. Scars fade beautifully over time and are placed discreetly in natural creases.
You will see the initial results once the dressings come off. Over the following 4 – 6 weeks, swelling subsides and your shape settles into a comfortable, symmetrical form.
Once healed, your results are typically stable. However, life changes like pregnancy or significant weight shifts can subtly affect breast symmetry – maintenance or minor revisions are possible if needed.
