Breast Augmentation with Differential Implants for Chest Wall Asymmetry
Patient: Woman in her 20s
Procedure: Breast augmentation, submuscular placement, periareolar incision
Implants: Right breast 365 cc, left breast 295 cc
Follow-up: 6 months post-operative
Patient Goals
This patient wanted to improve the size, shape, and symmetry of her breasts.
Case Details
This case was notable for a significant chest wall asymmetry on the right side, with a concavity. Because the underlying chest wall contributed to the difference between the two sides, matching implant volumes would not have produced a balanced result. A customized approach using differential implants was planned to account for the asymmetry.
Surgical Approach
A 365 cc implant was placed in the right breast and a 295 cc implant in the left breast. Both were positioned under the muscle through a periareolar incision.
Result
At 6 months, the photos show improved breast volume, symmetric implant positioning, and natural-appearing cleavage without a bra. The larger implant on the right helps compensate for the concavity and creates better overall balance between the breasts.
Results vary. Individual results are not guaranteed. Every patient’s anatomy and goals are different, and the surgical plan is tailored accordingly.
