Since age 12 I noticed a difference in the size of my breasts. I recently had a consultation and was told I have at least 6 different deformities/abnormalities associated with my breast. Severe asymmetry,ptosis,tubular breast,one cockeyed nipple,areola too large,hernia in one breast,.... Are there really that many things wrong with my breast and if so what surfer is right for me to correct all these things? I was told that getting implants with my kind of breasts would be "asking for trouble".

Answer: What can I do to correct my breasts? If the appearance of your breasts concern you enough to do something about it, a combination of implants to provide greater fullness and a breast lift to improve the position and shape of the breasts will produce the best cosmetic result. Implants alone do not adequately lift the breast when there is significant sagging, no matter the size or the type, and will not produce a good cosmetic result in a patient who also needs some variation of a lift. Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do without examining you, physically feeling the tissue,assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest your plastic surgeon be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person and be very realistic about your potential cosmetic result. Robert Singer, MD FACS La Jolla, California

Answer: What can I do to correct my breasts? Hello,Thank you for your question and photos. First of all, many asymmetries, ptosis and different areola anatomy are common. The degree to which this bothers you and you would like to correct it is the question. Your situation is complex- you do appear to have asymmetry, tuberous constriction, ptosis, etc. Breast lift with areola reduction, release of constriction and placement of breast implants could much improve the look of your breasts. In fact, silicone cohesive gel breast implants would be an important component of reshaping your breasts as they will help fill out and hold the breast's reshaped form after the lift. I recommend that you book a consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon who is very experienced in this type of work and can show you before and after photos related to your surgery.All the best!
