Will my scoliosis affect my breast augmentation? (photo)

Thank you for your question on posting an appropriate picture. There are special considerations to be made in the selection of your implants and implementation of The procedure in your case.I would recommend having a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who performs many breast augmentations experience the patient's chest as yourself. Look at before-and-after pictures of patients similar to you with the postoperative desired outcome. 

A surgeon with experience and skill dealing with patients with asymmetry of the chest wall should be able to give you an excellent result.

Hi. Chest wall asymmetries are more common than you think. I've taken care of many patients with scoliosis, pectus carinatum (pigeon chest)  and pectus excavatum (sunken chest). There is no doubt that despite these chest deformities, a breast augmentation will improve your self esteem and in May cases the focus will now be a fuller breast rather than the chest wall defect. Good luck.  Dr. PG

Ribcage asymmetries can definitely affect implant surgery. The right implants can improve the look of widely spaced or asymmetric breasts, but the wrong implant shape or size (or implants placed in the wrong spot on the chest) can actually make things worse. I would see a few people in consultation and choose a modest sized implant to help get the best result.

Breast asymmetry is a very common thing to have. Chest wall asymmetry (how your rib cage develops) is also just as common and commonly overlooked. Having both can have an impact on your end result. There are certain things that about the breast that can be improved with breast augmentation surgery such as the size and shape. However, some asymmetries are difficult to correct. One problem is the separation between the breast or the breast footprint. An implant can add medial fullness but an implant placed too medial can also displace the nipples laterally especially when the nipples are centered or slightly lateral (off to the side) to begin with. This can make the separation look worse and deeper because the breasts are now bigger. These issues should be thoroughly discussed with your PS during your consultation. Best of luck.
