Why Asymmetry Breast Surgery Correction Is Difficult and What to Consider image 1

We do not have perfectly symmetrical bodies. Everyone has a certain degree of asymmetry. Not only the face, but also the arms and legs can differ slightly in length.

For women, the breasts can also differ slightly in shape or size on both sides.

A slight difference is usually not something that causes much concern, but if the degree of asymmetry is large enough to be visible to the naked eye, it can become a source of stress. In women, breast asymmetry can reduce confidence as a woman and become a major stress factor.

For these people, asymmetry breast surgery can help restore a more appropriate balance, but correcting breast asymmetry surgery can also be difficult. Today, we have briefly summarized this topic.

Causes of Breast Asymmetry

The causes of breast asymmetry vary from person to person. Among them, a major cause is genetic factors.

In addition, some cases occur when the breasts develop unevenly during growth. Not only that, but changes can also occur due to hormonal influences during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Breast asymmetry can also happen in people who have had surgery for breast cancer and other conditions, or due to trauma.

The problem is that this asymmetry can cause not only physical discomfort but also poor aesthetics, which can lower self-confidence.

Because there are so many different causes, it can be difficult to correct breast asymmetry easily.

-Various causes

The reason it is difficult to correct breast asymmetry lies in its many causes. Since the cause of asymmetry must be identified for each individual and then corrected with a customized approach, it can be more difficult than simply increasing size.

-Individual differences

Differences in each person’s body condition can make asymmetry correction difficult. Because breast size, shape, position, and muscle elasticity differ from person to person, complexity increases and correction can become more difficult.

-Precise diagnosis

To naturally correct breast asymmetry, a precise diagnosis is necessary. In addition to analysis through precise diagnosis, a careful plan tailored to each individual must be established through thorough medical consultation.

-Surgical difficulty

Asymmetry breast surgery is considered to be among the more difficult breast procedures. This is because it requires consideration of not only differences in breast size, but also various asymmetries such as differences in the rib cage structure on the left and right sides, differences in nipple position, and the shape of the inframammary fold.

If you experience physical discomfort or psychological issues due to such asymmetrical breasts and find daily life difficult, you may consider asymmetry breast surgery.

When correcting asymmetry, it is desirable to proceed with a surgical method suited to the individual by considering not only the size difference between the left and right breasts, but also various factors such as differences in rib cage structure, nipple position, and the shape of the inframammary fold.

  • Axillary incision: A method in which an incision is made in the axillary fold area to insert an implant. The advantage is that the scar remains in the underarm area and is not easily visible.

  • Inframammary incision: In the case of an inframammary incision, the implant is inserted through an incision in the crease under the breast. A scar remains on the breast, but once volume is added after implant insertion, it may not be easily noticeable.

  • Periareolar incision: Lastly, there is the periareolar incision method. It has the advantage of providing an easy surgical view and is useful for correcting breast sagging.

Including correction through asymmetry breast surgery, breast augmentation is important not only for improving breast shape and volume, but also for balancing overall body proportions by considering various factors such as each person’s body shape, breast position, and other individual characteristics.

Because the appropriate surgical method can differ depending on each person’s breast size, degree of sagging, and the cause of asymmetry, it is important to find the method that suits you after 충분한 상담 with the medical team.
