Asymmetric Breasts
Correction of Asymmetric Breasts/ Tubular Breasts
Breast asymmetry can be due to several causes. It is fair to say that most women have asymmetric breasts but the size difference is not noticeable. However when the size difference is significant due to developmental or post-surgical causes, surgery may help in restoring the balance between the two sides. The surgical procedures to correct the asymmetry have to be individually tailored to each patient and indeed each breast. Dr Gahankari has extensive experience with various techniques that are employed to correct this asymmetry. These techniques include breast reduction, breast uplift and breast augmentation with implants for one or both sides.
Tubular breasts is a condition that affects breasts in young women. The breasts in these women can be narrowed and deformed to varying degree. The surgical techniques involve careful planning and utilization of breast up lift and augmentation strategies and techniques. Dr Gahankari will be able to assess your situation and discuss the appropriate techniques that would suit you. Occasionally more than one procedure may be needed to achieve symmetrical well contoured breasts. Medicare rebate is usually applicable to patients with significant breast asymmetry and a referral from your GP is beneficial.
Correcting breast asymmetry especially in younger women not only helps them to improve upon their appearance, but it can also provide a boost to their self-esteem and self-confidence. Dr Gahankari will help you to plan your procedure during your initial consultation.
