Correction of Breast Asymmetry Procedure


A slight breast asymmetry is very common, when the asymmetry is very remarkable you might want to correct the asymmetry. The correction can be done either by augmentation of the smaller breast or reduction of the large one. The decision between the options is made together with the surgeon, depending on your anatomy and the degree of asymmetry.

You should be above age 18, not nursing or pregnant and in good general health to undergo the correction.

If you're going through the augmentation procedure, the surgeon will make the incision in your armpit, around the nipple or under the breast fold. Then he'll separate the skin from the breast tissue in order to insert the implants. The insertion can be above or below the chest muscles. Most of the implants today are filled with silicon and come in different sizes and shapes.

The reduction procedure involves a vertical incision from the nipple down and a horizontal incision below the breast fold. The extra fat is removed using a liposuction and the breast size is adjusted to the other one.

The length of each procedure depends on the degree of asymmetry and procedure technique. After the surgery you'll have bandages around your chest, sometimes a drainage tube is also placed to avoid blood and fluid collection. Breast augmentation stretches the tissue, therefore there may be a significant amount of pain after the surgery, especially during the first 48 hours. Painkiller antibiotics and anti inflammatory drugs are often prescribed.

Breast reduction involves a larger scar but it goes through less sensitive areas, therefore the pain is less and can be easily treated with painkillers.

Every procedure has its risks. Augmentation may result is implant contraction, rupture of the filling, the implant may move and nipple sensation may be lost. Reduction is usually safe, but can cause bleeding, infection and delayed healing.

Expect to feel tired and sore during the first 48-72 hours. You'll be able to go to work after a week or so, but you should avoid strenuous activities for up to 6 weeks. Complete recovery usually takes 2 month. Until then expect that your scars will be pink and sensitive for 6 weeks, then they'll begin to fade. It is normal for your breasts to be swollen for 3-4 weeks.

  • Australia Geography

    Australia is the world's smallest continent but sixth-largest country; it's slightly smaller than the 48 contiguous United States. The highly urbanised population is heavily concentrated along the eastern and south-eastern coasts. Australia is bordered on the northwest, west, and southwest by the Indian Ocean, and on the east by the South Pacific Ocean. The Tasman Sea lies to the southeast, while the Great Barrier Reef lies to the northeast. Papua New Guinea, East Timor and Indonesia are Australia's northern neighbors, separated from Australia by the Arafura Sea and the Timor Sea.

    Australia is mostly arid and semi-arid: the center is desert and much agricultural land is poor quality by the standards of continents with richer soil. The south east is temperate and the north tropical. Australia was massively deforested for agricultural purposes: forest areas survive in extensive national parks and some other areas. Australia is prone to severe drought and water restrictions are currently in place in some areas, however these shouldn't affect travellers as they mostly relate to watering gardens and washing cars.


  • Australia Get in

    Australia is completely surrounded by ocean: there is no way to travel overland to Australia. Hence, all international visitors arrive by plane or by boat. Almost all travellers will first travel to one of the state capitals, as these have all the major airports and many of the major ports.

  • Data from a Phase I/II study of the novel antiCD20 monoclonal antibody, ofatumumab (formerly HuMax-CD20) in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) demonstrate anti-tumour responses in half of the patients treated in one of the three cohorts.[1] The study is published in the February issue of the journal Blood.
  • This review examines the evidence on rivaroxaban (Xarelto®), an oral, direct factor Xa inhibitor for the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients undergoing major orthopaedic surgery of the lower limbs. A licence application was submitted to the EMEA in November 2007. The review notes that limited data from the phase III RECORD studies (available in abstract form only) suggest that: • Daily oral rivaroxaban 10mg is statistically significantly more effective than subcutaneous (s.c.) enoxaparin 40mg for short term thromboprophylaxis in patients undergoing total knee replacement; the primary endpoint (composite of DVT, non-fatal PE , and all-cause mortality) occurred in 9.6% and 18.9% of patients assigned to rivaroxaban or enoxaparin, respectively (p < 0.001). • In extended thromboprophylaxis for hip arthroplasty, the same primary endpoint was achieved in 1.1% of rivaroxaban patients vs. 3.7% of those receiving enoxaparin (p < 0.001). • Rivaroxaban and enoxaparin recipients experienced a similar incidence of major bleeding events, ranging from 0.1% to 0.6%. No phase III liver function test data are available, but phase II data suggest that increases in liver enzymes seen in rivaroxaban recipients were of a similar order to enoxaparin recipients after 5–9 days of treatment. However caution is required until further information is available regarding safety. The review concludes “should efficacy and safety data prove favourable for oral rivoroxaban, and depending on cost, the drug might be particularly appropriate for those patients undergoing extended thromboprophylaxis after hip surgery. There will be no necessity to monitor patients for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and a reduction in at home nurse visits may be possible. Hence, staff capacity may be released. Economic decisions concerning rivaroxaban uptake will need to balance the possible increase in drug costs versus the possible benefits that may accrue.”
