Breast asymmetry, which is one of the aesthetic problems that women frequently encounter, is a situation where there is disproportion in the development of both breasts. Although small differences between the two breasts are considered natural, in case of serious differences, surgery is needed. Breast asymmetry is congenital in some people and occurs with abnormal formation of breast tissue in some people during puberty. In addition, it may develop due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, various surgical procedures or benign or malignant tumor formation.
This situation, which can cause loss of self-confidence in women and affect the comfort of life, can be corrected with surgery.
The surgical procedure applied to eliminate the shape and size differences between the breasts is called breast asymmetry correction aesthetics. Within the scope of the breast asymmetry correction procedure, the smaller breast can be enlarged with a silicone prosthesis, and the larger breast can be reduced to equal the other breast. In order to eliminate the asymmetry, breast lift surgery can be applied to one or both of the breasts.
Breast asymmetry correction surgery;
The technique to be used in breast asymmetry correction surgery varies according to the patient’s problem. Breast augmentation, breast reduction or breast lift procedures can be applied to eliminate the inequality between the two breasts. It may also be possible to apply different procedures to the breasts in order to correct the breast asymmetry. If the asymmetry between the breasts of the patient is not very serious, the problem can be resolved by using fat cells taken from the person’s own body and processed. In addition to the differences between the breasts, the problem of inequality in the nipple can also be resolved with breast asymmetry correction surgery. If there is no need to remove too much tissue from the patient’s breast due to the scope of the procedure, it is not possible to cut the milk ducts.
The patient is examined and his complaints and expectations are learned. The procedure to be applied to eliminate the asymmetry in the breast is determined. Since each patient’s breast structure and asymmetry in their breasts are different, the method to be applied is determined individually to get the most effective result. Breast reduction, breast augmentation or breast lift operations can be applied together to eliminate breast asymmetry. In the pre-operative period, the presence of the drugs that the patient uses regularly is questioned and the suitability of the general health status for the operation is determined.
After the surgery to correct the breast asymmetry, the patient should use a sports bra or a special corset for the period recommended by the doctor. Smoking is not recommended due to the risk of adversely affecting the healing process. The edema that occurs after the operation resolves spontaneously in approximately 7-10 days. Generally, the patient can return to light-paced work one week after the operation. After the operation, it is very important not to lift heavy, not to make any movements that may cause difficulty and not to lie face down for 10 days. Although different incision scars may occur depending on the procedure applied, the scars become vague over time. Some traces can also be found in areas that go unnoticed.
Breast reduction, breast augmentation and breast lift procedures can be applied to correct breast asymmetry. The procedure to be applied should be determined individually according to the asymmetry present in the patient.
Breast asymmetry can be corrected with surgical procedures in which the correct methods determined according to the current problem are applied for the patient.
The duration of the surgery depends on what the asymmetry is in the patient, the degree of asymmetry, whether one breast or two breasts will be treated, and the procedure to be applied.
As in every surgical procedure, a scar remains after breast asymmetry correction surgery. The location and visibility of the trail depend on the technique applied. Although the scars are evident in the early period following the operation, they begin to heal and lose their clarity over time.
