Breast Asymmetry

Breast Asymmetry

Procedure Description

Breast asymmetry is a condition involving a difference in the size or shape of the breasts. It can be developmental (size difference from puberty), a result of 'tubular' breasts (distinct shape with narrow base), or due to Poland syndrome (absence of chest muscle). Correction is personalized and may include augmentation of the smaller breast (with implant or fat), reduction of the larger one, or a combination of techniques to achieve symmetry.
