Breast asymmetry can happen as a congenital condition (such as tuberous breasts), or as a consequence of previous surgery
Having asymmetrical breasts can severely affect your self-confidence and quality of life. However, there are a number of surgical options available to create or restore symmetry between your breasts.
Elena can use your own tissue, fat transfer, implants, expanders, or remodeling of your breast tissue.
The choice of technique most suitable for you will depend on your expectations, as well as the volume and shape that you would like to achieve. It is a decision which we will make together following a long discussion and examination in my clinic.
It is normal to have a second consultation, for you to ask any further questions, once you have had time to consider the different surgical options. After the decision is made we will carefully prepare for your surgery.
Since December 2018, many regulatory bodies around the World have issued statements regarding their own position and some have limited the distribution of other textured devices. The advice does vary from country to country because the research data available is limited and not conclusive. None have called for the precautionary removal or replacement of textured devices that are already inside patients’ breasts.
Breast implants however are not lifelong devices and in general will need removal or replacement at some point. In an effort to have more robust data about both conditions, the Breast and Cosmetic Implant register (BCIR) collects breast implant data for patients in England and Scotland. The MHRA continues to collect and analyse UK information through a reporting system. It also has links with up to date information from international public health organisations. The most recent advice from MHRA on BIA-ALCL was updated on the 4th April 2019.
Elena will talk you through all the necessary pre-surgery investigations, as well as the after-care required. She will also fully explain the risks associated with the operation. We will only go ahead with the procedure once you are completely ready and happy with the choice we have made together.
Correction of breast asymmetry is surgery which aims to correct difference in the size and shape of your breasts and to improve your body image. The possible reasons for you to seek surgery are:
– To improve the shape of the breasts.
– To correct lack and also excess breast volume.
– To correct difference in shape or volume between the two breasts where there is asymmetry.
– As a reconstructive technique in certain situations.
You would wear special garment bra 24 hours a day for the 4-8 weeks. You can remove it only for the duration of taking a shower. After that you will be able to wear a normal bra.
Fixing breast asymmetry is normally achieved by reducing the largest breast to the size of the smaller breast in order to get same amount of skin and breast tissue on both sides, in most of cases breast implants are used to improve on volume and shape as a part of the same procedure. Ideally to restore complete symmetry surgeon aims to achieve same volume of skin and tissue enhanced by same volume implants on both sides.
One breast sometimes develops more than the other. The difference may in size and shape may be mild or very significant. It normally affects patient confidence and quality of life, that is why these patients are normally seeking surgery at relatively young age.
