Uneven Breasts

Every person has some degree of unevenness or asymmetry in their body: you write with either your right or your left hand, and your brain has essentially two halves with different functions. Your breasts are no exception. Every woman has some degree of natural asymmetry in their breasts which can be magnified once the breasts are enlarged by an implant. Cases where there is more asymmetry than usual occur rarely but have to be dealt with. In such cases, the implants can be either individually or together displaced from where they should be lying. To correct the abnormal implant position(s), a surgery is required to modify the implant pocket or even reconstruct some of the anatomical structures which may have been weakened during surgery. If the cause for the uneven implants is firmness in one or both breasts, the treatment involves removing the scar tissue around the affected implants are replacing the implant. As a surgical complication, uneven breasts are rare but have successful outcomes in carefully planned cases.
