What are the symptoms of breast deformity?

Breasts are extremely important to female friends. They are an indispensable organ and a reflection of self-confidence, so everyone cares about them even more. However, breast deformities are not uncommon in life, such as prominent accessory breasts, asymmetrical breasts, Poland syndrome, barrel-shaped breasts, etc.

1. Accessory breast:

Accessory breasts are congenital polymastia, which is mostly bilateral. One or more baby breasts may appear above or below the normal breast and may also have a nipple and areola. In adulthood, there is obvious swelling before menstruation and even milk can be secreted during lactation.

To treat accessory breast, the nipple and breast tissue can be removed according to the specific situation, or liposuction or a combination of liposuction and removal can be used.

2. Breast asymmetry:

The cause of breast asymmetry is still unclear. It is characterized by uneven development of the breasts on both sides, showing differences in size and shape. It can be corrected through breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast ptosis correction, chest deformity correction, etc.

3.Poland Syndrome:

Poland's syndrome refers to congenital unilateral underdevelopment or absence of the pectoralis major and minor muscles, breast, nipple, and areola, often accompanied by deformities of the hands and arms, especially brachydactyly and syndactyly of the hands. Breast plastic surgery for Poland syndrome is based on the degree of loss of the pectoralis major and minor muscles. Breast reconstruction is selected. Sometimes, silicone gel prostheses of appropriate sizes can be used to perform augmentation breast surgery on the affected side to make the breasts on both sides symmetrical, harmonious and balanced.

If the pectoralis major and minor muscles are severely missing, it is difficult to reconstruct a satisfactory chest wall and breast. The treatment is often done by transferring the pedicled latissimus dorsi muscle to enlarge the breast and reconstructing the pectoralis major muscle with the latissimus dorsi muscle. Satisfactory results can be obtained after the operation. Female patients can wear swimsuits and participate in social activities confidently like normal people.

4. Barrel Breasts:

This is caused by breast deformity, where the base of the mammary gland is too narrow, making the breast barrel-shaped. This deformity can be corrected by surgical manipulation of the breast.
