Breast Augmentation for Correction of Asymmetry

    DENVER, CO, October 31, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Although it may be very noticeable to you, a slight difference in size or shape between your breasts is perfectly normal. However, a difference of a full cup size or more can interfere with the normal activities of life, making it difficult to buy clothing, and creating embarrassing situations that take a serious toll on you social and personal life. Breast augmentation can correct asymmetry, bringing balance to your shape and boosting your self-confidence.

Procedures to Correct Asymmetrical Breasts

Breast augmentation can be used to enlarge the smaller breast, bringing it up to the size of the larger breast. If you want to enlarge both breasts, a smaller implant can be placed in the larger breast.

Some women choose to have the smaller breast enlarged and the larger breast reduced, to achieve the desired size and balance. Asymmetry can be caused by uneven shrinkage, leaving your breasts sagging. When that is the case, a breast lift can be combined with your augmentation.

Benefits Correcting Asymmetry

Correcting breast asymmetry can be life-changing that can allow you to:
- Be more comfortable in bras
- Wear clothing styles that were not previously an option
- Participate in sports
- Take part in social activities comfortably and confidently
- Wear bathing suits
- Enjoy intimacy with your partner without embarrassment

Causes of Breast Asymmetry

Asymmetry can develop as your breasts develop, or it may occur later in life due to pregnancy, surgery, age, or a health condition. Some causes of breast asymmetry can include:
- Shrinkage after pregnancy and nursing
- Mastitis, a breast infection that is usually caused by nursing, but can be an indicator of cancer
- Shrinkage due to age
- Weight fluctuations
- Some forms of exercise
- Uneven development during adolescence
- Sudden extreme growth of one breast in a teenager or young woman, called virginal hypertrophy
- A medical condition of one breast
- Surgery to remove a growth in the breast
- Complications of cosmetic breast surgery

Breast Asymmetry in Teenagers and Young Women

Breasts sometimes develop at different rates. In many teens and young women they will even out on their own as they continue to develop, but in some they do not. When asymmetry is extreme, the benefits of correcting it early can far outweigh the benefits of waiting to see if they will eventually become the same size and shape.

Breast augmentation to correct asymmetry is one of the few cosmetic surgery procedures recommended for teens under the age of 18.
