Asymmetry of the breast and the thoracic cage : A brief presentation of cases with their operative treatment

C Perras. Aesthetic Plast Surg. 1980 Dec.

Abstract

The most common causes of thoracic malformation in relation to the surgery of breast augmentation or reduction are discussed in this brief outline of cases requiring surgical correction. The types of treatment commonly employed by the author to deal with soft tissue asymmetry independent of the shape of the thoracic cage itself, that is, uneven or asymmetric breasts, are demonstrated in a successive series of photographic preoperative and postoperative case studies.
