A method for the evaluation of minor degrees of breast asymmetry.
We have found the study of split-and-reversed photographs useful in the preoperative evaluation of patients presenting for corrective surgery of the breasts. It puts double emphasis on minor asymmetries, and can be used as an objective tool in planning procedures to correct these, and in evaluating the results. Asymmetry in volume is, however, less readily demonstrated by this technique than is asymmetry of shape.
