Breast Asymmetry (Asymmetrical Breast)


Breast asymmetry is called when a breast to be different size or shape from the other breast.
It is normal for the body to have minor asymmetries in its double organs. Indistinct asymmetries are very common, especially in the breasts, regardless of male or female.
In some cases, breast inequality may reach more prominent and uncomfortable dimensions and may adversely affect a person’s psychology. Breast asymmetry may occur due to many different reasons.

Causes of Breast Asymmetry

As the breast develops, one breast can develop and grow faster than the other. This situation can lead to serious psychological problems due to the effect of excessive emotion in adolescence. If breast inequality is very high and the person is psychologically affected, surgery may be performed before 18 years of age. In this case, it may be preferable to enlarge the underdeveloped prosthesis with overgrown and grown breast for adult standards.  If the underdeveloped breast of the adult is larger than normal, it may be preferable to provide equilibrium by breast reduction. After the period of pregnancy and breastfeeding, the breasts may not shrink at the same rate. After overweight, the breasts may not shrink at the same rate. After gaining excess weight, the breasts may not grow at the same rate. Disproportionation may occur due to the diseases experienced in single breast in older ages. Breast asymmetry may be caused by surgical interventions caused by cancer. With aging, the breast loses its volume and this may lead to asymmetry.  

Asymmetrical Breast Surgery

Different methods and techniques can be used in asymmetric breast surgery. In some cases, the overgrown breast may be reduced in some cases with a small breast prosthesis while the small breast is being enlarged.
 In cases where the degree of asymmetry is not so different, it may be preferable to use fat cells from the person’s own body instead of a prosthesis to correct the asymmetry.
In the asymmetry of the breast, the inequalities in the nipple can be corrected when the shape and size are equalized. Breast asymmetry correction can be performed under general or local anesthesia. In the operation, if there is not too much tissue removed, milk channels will not be damaged.

Period After Asymmetric Breast Surgery

According to the doctor’s decision after surgery, the person may be discharged on the same day or stay in hospital for 1 night.
After a few days of rest at home, she can easily return to his normal life. She can take a shower 2 days after surgery. After asymmetric breast surgery, the swelling of the breasts begin to descend after 1 week. The traces of aesthetic sutures applied are in thin line and become almost invisible over time.

What Is Cataract?

Cataract is the opacity of the lens by losing its transparency. The eye has an optical structure and the images coming from the external environment are first refracted through the cornea, which is the transparent layer on the outermost part of the eye, and then through the lens layer inside the eye, and thus it is clearly transmitted to the visual center. It causes the images to be blurred and not transmitted to the center of vision clearly by adding the lens formed in the lens. Sometimes cataracts become so intense that people cannot see anything except to feel the light. People who develop cataracts see it as if they are looking through a misty or frosted glass. Although there are many types of cataracts, the most common cataracts are cataracts that develop with age.   What are the Cataract types? Nuclear cataracts: A nuclear cataract may at first cause a temporary improvement in your vision. But with time, the lens gradually turns more densely yellow and further cloud...

Periodontology (Gum Disease)

In cases where oral care is inadequate, a bacterial plaque that is a rich, soft, sticky layer of microorganisms on the tooth surface accumulates. This layer causes gingivitis with tooth decay. Healthy gums are pale pink in color, with orange peel appearance and hardness. When the gums lose their health they are swollen, red, bleeding and moving. If the treatment is delayed, the tooth stones accumulate causing the bone surrounding the tooth to erase. The gums start to pull out. This condition is both sensitive to heat changes and causes aesthetic problems as well as oral odor and even dental inflammation in very advanced conditions. If they go further, tooth loss starts. Gum disease also occurs in the case of inadequate oral care, hormonal changes, genetic factors, drug use, some systemic diseases; If there is a problem already existing, it progresses rapidly. There is a gap between the tooth and the gum called pocket which we can not see with eyes. It should be treated when it re...
