DR TAVAKOLI PERFORMS RECONSTRUCTIVE BREAST SURGERY, WITH TECHNIQUES IN THE CORRECTION OF BREAST ASYMMETRY

Breast asymmetry describes breasts that may demonstrate different size, shape, nipple and areola characteristics, or any combination of these. Breast asymmetry is common, which means mild discrepancies in breast form can be identified in most women. However, some women may be dissatisfied with the appearance of moderate to significant asymmetry. 

Every case of asymmetric breasts is different, and every woman’s goals for breast augmentation and balance is unique.

BREAST ASYMMETRY CORRECTION – VIEW GALLERY

It is absolutely natural for most women have some degree of minor breast asymmetry, and differences of greater than 10% are less common. There are many degrees and combinations of breast asymmetry. Some women may present with one, combination, or all of the below.

  1. Unilateral breast hypertrophy and breast hypoplasia – one large breast, one small breast,
  2. Unilateral or asymmetric breast ptosis – breast laxity or one breast sits lower than the other,
  3. Areola asymmetry – differences in nipple areola size, projection or bulge,
  4. Chest wall deformity –concaved or protruding chest wall.

DR TAVAKOLI’S CLASSIFICATION OF BREAST ASYMMETRY

Breast asymmetry is a three dimensional problem & can involve not only the size and shape of Breasts but also asymmetry in the nipple areolar complex (NAC).

Type 1a
Breast asymmetry without breast ptosis or NAC asymmetry: Tuberous breasts

Type 1b
Breast asymmetry without breast ptosis or NAC asymmetry: Tuberous breasts

Type 2a
Breast asymmetry, unilateral breast ptosis with NAC asymmetry: Non-tuberous breasts

Type 2b
Breast asymmetry, unilateral breast ptosis with NAC asymmetry: Tuberous breasts

Type 3a
Breast asymmetry, bilateral breast ptosis with NAC asymmetry: Non-Tuberous breasts

Type 3b
Breast asymmetry, bilateral breast ptosis with NAC asymmetry: Tuberous breasts

During your consultation, Dr Tavakoli will assess and measure the level of asymmetry. In most cases, you will be referred for a 3D CT scan. Dr Tavakoli will use your CT scan in conjunction with intra-operative sizing techniques to develop your surgical plan.

DR TAVAKOLI’S TECHNIQUE

  1. Use of Mentor implant matrix both round & anatomical (teardrop) – CPG range
  2. Breast fold lowering techniques & reconstruction
  3. Dual plane Level 1, 2 and 3
  4. Extensive fat grafting
  5. Periareolar to vertical mastopexy techniques to re-align the nipples and deproject tuberous breasts.

Tuberous breast deformity is characterised by an unusual breast shape with varying degrees of breast constriction, areola herniation, size discrepancy, and asymmetry.

Tuberous breast deformity is almost always associated with breast asymmetry. Correction of breast asymmetry can be more complex than other breast procedures, and therefore, Dr Tavakoli will see you at your consultation and explain to you the degree of tuberous breast that you may have. He will then explain to you the surgical technique appropriate in your case.

Dr Tavakoli may use one or a combination of the following techniques to address breast asymmetry:

Breast asymmetry may also be corrected by reducing the larger breast. This can address unevenness and create a more uplifted position.
