When it's simply a natural trait
Small differences in shape, size or positioning of the breasts are common and don't indicate a health problem.

An informed decision starts with a consultation
This article explains “Breast Asymmetry — When It's Normal and When to See a Doctor”, but a procedure requires an individual qualification. The surgeon should discuss the goal of treatment, possible techniques, scars, recovery, risks and available alternatives.
Bring your questions to the consultation and disclose health conditions, medicines, smoking and previous procedures. This helps assess safety, the scope of treatment and realistic expectations.
