Breast Asymmetry

Breast Asymmetry at ASET Hospital

Breast asymmetry can occur naturally due to genetic factors, hormonal changes, or developmental issues.

It may also result from trauma, surgery, or medical conditions. Breast asymmetry is quite common, and while it is often harmless, it can cause emotional distress and self-consciousness.

Consultation and Assessment:

During your initial consultation, our experienced surgeons will conduct a thorough examination and discuss your medical history, aesthetic goals, and any concerns you may have.

This helps us understand the underlying causes of the asymmetry and tailor a treatment plan specific to your needs.

Procedure Details

Treatment Options:

Depending on the nature and extent of the asymmetry, we offer various surgical and non-surgical options, including:

1. Breast Augmentation: In cases where one breast is smaller, implants or fat transfer techniques can be used to enhance volume and achieve symmetry.
2. Breast Reduction: For patients with one larger breast, reduction surgery can remove excess tissue to create a balanced appearance.
3. Breast Lift (Mastopexy): If asymmetry is due to differing breast positions, a breast lift can reposition and reshape the breasts for better alignment.
4. Combination Procedures: Often, a combination of augmentation, reduction, and lift techniques is employed to achieve the best results.

Surgery Details:

The specific details of your surgery will vary based on the chosen treatment plan. Our surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure minimal scarring and a natural look. The procedure typically involves:

1. Anaesthesia: The surgery is performed under general anaesthesia to ensure your comfort.
2. Incision Placement: Incisions are strategically placed to minimise visible scarring and provide the best aesthetic results.
3. Tissue Adjustment: Depending on the procedure, tissue is either added, removed, or repositioned to achieve symmetry.
4. Closing the Incisions: Incisions are closed with sutures, and dressings are applied to protect the area.

Postoperative Care and Recovery

Immediate Postoperative Care

After the surgery, you will be monitored in our recovery area. You may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which are normal and will subside over time.

Recovery Process

You will receive detailed postoperative instructions, including how to care for your incisions, medications to manage pain, and activities to avoid during the initial recovery period.

Follow-up Visits

Regular follow-up appointments are crucial to monitor your healing and ensure the best possible results. Our team is available to support you through every step of the recovery process.

Risks and Considerations

As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks, including infection, scarring, changes in nipple sensation, and asymmetry recurrence.

At ASET Hospital, we take every precaution to minimise these risks and ensure a safe and successful outcome.
