Dr. Philip Richardson September 16, 2015

Breast asymmetry is a common characteristic among women, with many experiencing some degree of variance. For those who find the asymmetry prominent, Dr. Phillip Richardson offers consultations to discuss personalized treatment options in Brisbane.

Understanding Breast Asymmetry

It’s a natural occurrence for women to have some asymmetry in their breasts. While the exact cause of significant asymmetry can vary, it may be influenced by hormonal changes, developmental factors, or congenital conditions.

Evaluating Candidacy for Surgery

Women who experience discomfort or self-consciousness due to breast asymmetry may consider surgical correction. Candidates should have realistic expectations and be in overall good health. Dr. Richardson will assess your situation to recommend the most appropriate surgical approach.

Surgical Approaches to Asymmetry

The surgical technique for correcting asymmetry is tailored to each patient’s specific needs. Dr. Richardson may suggest augmentation, reduction, or a lift, and sometimes a combination of these procedures, to achieve a more balanced appearance. The procedure chosen will depend on the nature of the asymmetry, whether it pertains to size, shape, or position.

Procedure Expectations

The specifics of the surgery will be determined during your consultation with Dr. Richardson. Under anaesthesia, adjustments will be made to achieve a more symmetrical appearance. The extent of these adjustments will be based on individual requirements.

Recovery Guidance

Post-surgery, patients will receive detailed care instructions to support recovery and minimize scarring. It’s important to allow for rest and to avoid strenuous activities for the initial recovery period to ensure optimal healing.
