It is a surgical procedure to correct the difference in size, shape, or in the position of nipples on the breasts of females. It may require placement of silicone implants on the smaller breast, reduction of the larger breast, or simply a correction of mammary flaccidity. The correction of mammary asymmetry is a personalized procedure, tailored to the specific needs of each patient. Incisions may be placed under the armpit, along the areolar border, below the breast in the infra-mammary fold. It is an ambulatory procedure that lasts 1 to 3 hours, and makes use of epidural or general anesthesia. Some discomfort, tensioning of the skin and/ or edema may occur, and postoperative pain is well tolerated with the use of common painkillers. Most patients return to their normal activities after 1 to 2 weeks. There may be alterations on the size of the breasts in the event of patient weight gain or weight loss.
