Etiological factors and clinical manifestations of mammary gland asymmetry
Some women notice that their breasts are in different directions. They can also have different volumes and differ in the size of the areola and nipple. The main causes of pathology include:
- Genetic aspects. If there was breast asymmetry in the family, the risk of its occurrence in offspring increases significantly
- Hormonal changes. The shape and size of the breast is affected by pregnancy, as well as lactation and menopause
- Physiological factors. Sharp fluctuations in body weight, especially weight loss or gain, also cause changes in the anatomy of the breast
One of the main signs of asymmetry is size variability - i.e., the difference in the volume of the mammary glands. Some women also have unevenness of the submammary skin fold.
Associated symptoms
Asymmetry often causes problems with lactation. Temporary disorders are more common, but some women face the problem of a complete lack of milk production.
Additional symptoms include:
- Changes in sensitivity of the areola or nipple
- Swelling and hyperemia in the mammary gland
- Feeling of pain or discomfort in the area of the asymmetric gland
Due to asymmetry, many women experience decreased self-esteem, anxiety or depression.
Indications for surgical correction
The main indication for surgery is macromastia. This pathology develops against the background of excessive growth of glandular and fatty tissue and is manifested by an excessive increase in the weight and volume of the mammary glands.
As a rule, there are no medical contraindications for most operations, since they do not affect reproductive functions or the ability to breastfeed.
Additional indications for surgery:
- Ptosis of the mammary glands In this case, one or both mammary glands tend to drop below normal.
- Juvenile disharmony This is a special type of hypertrophy of the mammary glands that develops in girls during puberty.
- Presence of benign tumors Their presence distorts the shape of the breast, making it asymmetrical.
- Loss of breast volume Most often this occurs after sudden weight loss or cessation of lactation.
General information about the procedure
Types of surgery
Free tissue tightening is more often used: this method is best suited for correcting minor defects. At the same time, thin threads are used, which the specialist introduces through mini-chokes. Minimum trauma makes this procedure attractive to many women.
The following types of surgery are also distinguished:
- lipofilling . The essence of this method is the transplantation of fat from one part of the body to the chest area. This allows you to additionally adjust the contours and get rid of unwanted fat folds. Sometimes part of the transplanted fat is absorbed and as a result there is a need for repeated intervention.
- The use of implants . This technique gives the most stable and long -term result. After the procedure, weak scars remain.
- complex mammoplasty . Combined intervention includes asymmetry correction and change in the size and shape of the chest.
The choice of a suitable correction method depends on the cause of the pathology, age of the patient and the presence of concomitant diseases in her.

About the service
Asymmetry of the mammary glands is a fairly common phenomenon. To varying degrees, it occurs in all women.
Minor differences in size or shape often go unnoticed and do not cause concern, while more pronounced asymmetry often becomes a reason to consult a specialist.
