Surgical treatment of breast asymmetry

RESUMO

Since the original description of the most severe from of breast asymmetry by Poland [1], this matter has been revised from time to time. Not all breast asymmetries can be classified as pathologic. Indeed, most women have slightly different breasts. The therapeutic arsenal of modern Plastic Surgery includes techniques of reduction mammaplasty, augmentation mammaplasty and mastopexy, that should be used in accordance with the specific need of each case [2]. In the present study four cases of breast asymmetry are reported, analyzing esthetic aspects and surgical procedures employed in each case.
