Does having scoliosis (about 33deg curve) affect getting a breast augmentation?
Answer: Scoliosis and breast augmentation It depends the degree of scoliosis. The curvature in the spine often effects the shape and projection of the ribs behind the breasts. The ribs either directly (submuscular) or indirectly (subglandular) support the breast implant. So, if a person's ribs project more (stick out more) on one side than the other, the breast implant will also. Frequently, the implant magnifies the difference in rib projection, which can make even subtle differences more obvious after surgery.

Answer: Scoliosis Scoliosis often affects how straight you can stand which will affect how even your breasts look. Otherwise, it will have no affect on surgery since you will be laying down.

Answer: BA in patient with scoliosis Generally, there is no reason not to have breast augmentation. However, position and size of the breasts may be different, asymmetric, due scoliosis. Although this can be tolerated in small breast, this asymmetry may be more visible after augmentation. If so, you should discuss this aspect of breast surgery result with your surgeon before surgery. Good luck.

Answer: Not really I recommend an in person evaluation with a plastic surgeon to be measured and discuss your goals. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Mildly Sagging Breasts: If your breasts are mildly droopy, a saline or silicone gel implant placed behind the pectoral muscle might help create the illusion of perkiness. That’s because as the implant fills out the top of the breast, it also fills out the bottom, making it look as if the nipple has moved higher. It hasn’t. You can always get a lift later if you feel you are not perky enough when fully settled and healed. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Breast surgery If you have scoliosis the breasts may be asymmetrical already and it could be a challenge to work with that asymmetry. Getting perfect symmetry is difficult if there is preexisting asymmetry
