![During puberty, this 39-year-old woman developed asymmetrical breasts where her left breast was significantly larger than her right breast. A condition like this is called a hypoplastic breast, which simply describes a breast that did not fully grow. Additionally, she had some tuberous breast characteristics, with very large nipple areolar complexes and a short distance between her nipple and her high-sitting breast fold. As a teenager, she underwent a saline implant augmentation on the right and a breast lift on the left. However, it still left her with significant asymmetry, and she felt self-conscious about her breasts for the subsequent twenty years. During this time, the implant side also developed a thick capsule, known as capsular contracture. Having had a complex relationship with her very own breasts during her lifetime, she wanted symmetry and was no longer interested in implants. On her right breast, her implants and thick capsule were removed, and her own fat was injected into the side to increase the volume. The larger left side had a significant reduction procedure performed to match the right. Both sides had a necessary lift to make the nipple areolar complex more symmetrical in shape and location. After the procedure, she couldn’t believe that she now had breasts that were symmetrical, which was a huge and happy paradigm shift for her.]( "During puberty, this 39-year-old woman developed asymmetrical breasts where her left breast was significantly larger than her right breast.
