I'm in my mid 20's and I have scoliosis. My breasts are the same size, however, my ribcage is uneven and the shape of my breasts are a little uneven. I also have a large space between my breasts. Will breast implants make this worse?
Answer: Will my scoliosis affect my breast augmentation? Thank you for the question. Generally speaking, patients with scoliosis are able to undergo breast augmentation surgery without difficulty. Any existing breast or chest wall asymmetry can be improved upon with careful pocket dissection and careful selection of appropriate breast implant type/size/profile. Make sure that your selected plastic surgery has significant experience helping patients achieve the types of outcomes you would be pleased with.

Answer: Will my scoliosis affect my breast augmentation? (photo) 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

Answer: Scoliosis can effect results The shape of the chest wall as well as the breast varies greatly from women to women and even from breast to breast. Augmentation can still be done in your case. It would help you in making your decision to see photos of women that look like you now and how they looked after augmentation. Be sure your doctor has taken care of patients that have a similar appearance to you. An experienced Plastic Surgeon can help you understand what you can expect from your augmentation. Good luck

Answer: Scoliosis can affect breast augmentation 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.

Answer: Will my scoliosis affect my breast augmentation? In complex chest wall asymmetry cases ALWAYS best to seek ONLY IN PERSON examinations/opinions. This is a case that meets that criteria.
