Correction of asymmetrical breasts.
An accurate preoperative analysis of the size and contour of asymmetrical breasts allows proper surgical planning and correction. Consideration of the existing defects in each breast and the chest wall, and their relationship to body size, can be combined with the patient's desires for size and contour restoration. Our experience with 14 cases has shown that attention to these principles can give a result that will usually satisfy the patient and the surgeon.
