Breast asymmetry is a very common condition in which disproportionate development of both breasts occurs. If there are no obvious differences, one accepts and lives like this; however, surgery is essential for those with extreme differences.
1. Breasts develop in adolescence, while one breast can develop and grow faster than the other. This can lead to serious psychological problems due to the excess emotion during adolescence. If breast inequality is high and affects the person psychologically negatively, surgery can be performed before the age of 18. In this case, it is preferable to enlarge the underdeveloped one with prosthesis if the overdeveloped and enlarged breast is in adult breast standards. If the underdeveloped breast is of adult breast standards and the larger breast is above normal, it may be preferable to achieve equality with breast reduction.
2. Breasts may not shrink at the same rate after pregnancy and lactation.
3. Breasts may not shrink at the same rate after excess weight loss.
4. Breasts may not grow at the same rate after gaining excess weight.
5. Disparity may occur due to single breast diseases in later years.
6. Breast asymmetry may occur as a result of surgical interventions due to cancer.
7. With aging, the breast loses volume and this may lead to asymmetry.
Different methods and techniques can be used in asymmetric breast surgeries.
In some cases, the overgrowth breast may be reduced, and in some cases a small breast may be enlarged with a prosthesis.
In some cases, one breast may be reduced, while the other breast may be enlarged with a prosthesis.
In cases where the degree of asymmetry is not very different, it may be preferable to use fat cells taken from one's own body instead of a prosthesis to correct asymmetry.
The shape and size of the breast asymmetry are equalized and the nipple inequalities can be corrected.
Breast asymmetry correction surgery can be performed under general or local anesthesia.
In the operation, if too much tissue is not removed, the milk channels are generally not damaged.
The person may be discharged on the same day or stay in hospital for one night according to the decision of the doctor after surgery.
You can easily return to your normal life within a few days of rest at home.
You can take a shower post surgery after two days.
After asymmetric breast surgery, swelling in the breasts begins to descend after one week.
The marks of the applied aesthetic stitches are in a thin line and become almost invisible within time.
