This patient's right
breast was considerably smaller than her left
breast. Her left
breast had greater
breast hang than her right
breast. In addition, there is considerable demarcation between a well developed pectoralis major muscle and the hanging
breast. For this type of patient, I would plan to use different size
breast implants in each
breast to help equalize her
breasts. In this particular patient, an asymmetrical crescent
mastopexy (breast lift) was performed with different degrees of
breast lift. The end result was well-balanced
breasts with better positioning of the
areola.
