WHAT IS BREAST ASYMMETRY?
For us, “asymmetric breasts” are breasts that have developed in an anomalous and unequal manner that affects both the shape and the size of the breast. The result is breasts that are very different both in terms of shape and volume, producing upheaval in the social and personal life of the patient.
While a degree of slight asymmetry is normal in some breasts and common in many women, when this asymmetry becomes striking it may produce an emotional impact or influence the life of the patient, in particular during their adolescence and youth.
WHY DOES THIS ASYMMETRY BREAST OCCUR?
There are many causes that generate a difference in size or shape from one breast to the other.
These causes can be hormonal or known syndromes.
Syndromes that cause breast asymmetry include Poland syndrome, which consists of underdevelopment of chest muscles and bones on one side of the body.
Another very characteristic condition results in asymmetrical breasts is tubular breasts, which have a narrow base, are widely separated and have very wide areolas, and have no gland at the bottom.

It is an operation that produces excellent results, and which can be performed at any age after puberty. It produces magnificent results both on an aesthetic level (symmetrical, beautiful and natural breasts) and on an emotional level.
SOLUTION TO BREAST ASYMMETRY: PERSONALISED TREATMENT
Depending on each case, the solution may consist of increasing or reducing the size of one breast so that it is the same shape and size as the other. The most common course of action is a combination of both techniques, i.e. one breast is enlarged using a prosthesis, while the other breast is reduced or lifted.
Also used is the lipofilling technique, which consists of a transplant of fat from the patient to reduce the asymmetry in the breasts , since the fat can be added with great precision. This technique is used in small asymmetries.
