Nine Days Post-Surgery: Asymmetry Correction and Vertical Incision Breast Reduction
Today, I would like to share a case where we addressed a significant breast asymmetry, particularly in a young patient.
It's important to remember that the human body is inherently asymmetric. Whether it's the face, the body, or even our arms and legs, perfect symmetry is rare. The same holds true for the breasts. It's quite common for one breast to be larger, more pronounced, or spaced differently than the other. Consequently, rectifying these irregularities is a crucial aspect of breast reduction surgery.
Asymmetry in breast size isn't just a matter of aesthetic; it's a matter of health as well. These differences in breast volume can potentially affect spinal alignment, contributing to conditions like scoliosis. What's more, they can also have a psychological impact, affecting a person's self-esteem and well-being, particularly in women.
The case I'm about to share involves a young patient with notable breast volume, protrusion, and pronounced asymmetry.
First, let's take a look at the pre-surgery images.
