Guide on Adjusting Asymmetrical Breast Implants
In the realm of aesthetic surgeries, uneven breast implants can sometimes be a concern for patients. Dr. Rajat Gupta, a board-certified plastic surgeon with 15 years of experience, sheds light on this issue and offers solutions for those experiencing unevenness during the stable implant phase post-surgery.
Diagnosing uneven implants involves a thorough assessment focusing on implant malposition, asymmetry in volume or shape, nipple positioning, and changes in breast contour. Common issues include implants positioned too high, low, laterally, or medially, bottoming out (implant dropping too low), and fold malposition where the inframammary fold shifts. Physical exam and imaging may be used to confirm implant position and scar tissue status, including capsular contracture, which can cause firmness and shape changes.
Treatment for persistent unevenness typically requires surgical revision. Revision procedures may involve repositioning or adjusting the implant pocket, correcting bottoming out or fold malposition, addressing scar tissue, changing implant size, type, or placement, or even using hybrid augmentation with fat transfer for mild to moderate asymmetry without extensive tissue disruption.
It is worth noting that non-surgical management is limited once the stable phase is reached, and waiting for implant settling applies mainly in early postoperative periods. Revision timing is important to allow complete healing, typically several months post-primary surgery.
Dr. Rajat Gupta, a specialist in breast augmentation, emphasizes the importance of visiting a board-certified plastic surgeon during the stable implant phase to diagnose and treat uneven breast implants. His practice, based in India and available globally, offers cosmetic procedures with the latest technology.
