No part of the body is mathematically perfectly symmetrical. This also applies to breasts. The fact that one breast is slightly larger, fuller or lower than the other is often considered a normal anatomical difference.
Is Asymmetry Always a Problem?
No. Slight differences are present in most people and do not cause problems in daily life. Situation requiring evaluation; The difference becomes obvious, makes it difficult to choose clothes, or negatively affects the person's body perception.
What Types of Asymmetries Can Be Observed?
- volume difference
- Height difference at nipple level
- Shape difference in the lower pole
- Difference in appearance due to rib cage anatomy
How is Evaluation Done?
The examination does not only look at breast volume. Skin quality, nipple position, breast base width and rib cage structure are evaluated together. Because sometimes the problem may not be in the breast, but in the anatomical skeleton in the background.
How to Plan If Surgery Is Necessary?
There is no single solution. Some patients require prosthesis, some require lift, some require fat injection or combined techniques. The goal is not to “make both sides the same” but to create a more balanced and natural look.
Is the Expectation of Perfect Symmetry True?
The goal of plastic surgery is to approach the body's natural balance. Perfect symmetry is often unrealistic. Realistic expectations both facilitate planning and increase postoperative satisfaction.
