Breast Asymmetry Correction

The appearance of breast asymmetry is defined as the disproportionate development and appearance that occurs between the two breasts. Many individuals may not notice this asymmetry due to the fact that it is not very serious in size, although they may notice it, they may not make it a problem in their lives by accepting it. In addition to being an aesthetic condition for some individuals, it can show psychological effects. In many measurements, it has been observed that many women have asymmetric conditions in the breast area. As long as there is no disturbing disproportion, it can be considered a normal situation. However, the fact that the difference is large may create the desire to be intervened in the patient.

Many examinations performed when resorting to breast asymmetry correction show that this condition is congenital. The fact that one of the two breasts develops more or less often reveals asymmetric images. This condition, which can occur at birth, can also occur in nursing mothers after childbirth. The fact that two breasts are not equally breastfed, and therefore inequality occurs due to the mammary glands, can create asymmetry.

There are usually changes breasts own tissue not in adipose tissue in breast asymmetry that occurs after breastfeeding. Asymmetry makes itself visible if these changes also occur disproportionately. In such cases, breast asymmetry correction procedures are also applied to.

In order to correct the breast asymmetry, first of all, the shape and size of the two breasts are measured. In congenital asymmetry, it is decided which of the two breasts will be proportional to the other. With the joint opinion and decision of the patient and the Doctor, the larger breast can be reduced or the smaller one can be enlarged. Most of the time, it is preferred to reduce the large breast. This is because the excess adipose tissue in the breast can be shaped more easily.

In cases of asymmetry occurring after childbirth, a volumetric loss may occur due to the withdrawal of breast tissue. For this reason, interventions such as mastopexy can be performed. In addition, the asymmetry can be corrected by inserting silicone implants.

In the process of correcting breast asymmetry, reduction, augmentation or mastopexy operations follow a similar process. There will be no intense pain. Patient can return to their daily life after first week. First 2-month post-operative time is a period that requires extra attention. It is necessary to take precautions such as avoiding heavy exercise, not making heavy and sudden movements. If there is a congenital reason for breast asymmetry, Breast Asymmetry Correction Surgery can be happen after patient turns 18. This is due to the fact that the completion of physical development is expected. After that, appropriate treatment is performed for patients requesting surgery. An asymmetric recurrence situation does not occur after surgery. However, as a result of situation such as childbirth, serious weight loss-gain and breastfeeding are likely to cause changes.
