What is breast asymmetry?

It is known as the differences in asymmetrical breasts in shape, size and height of the breast.

To determine breast asymmetry, a mammogram can be performed as a test to quantify the symmetrical density of the breasts. On the other hand, mothers are considered asymmetrical due to a 25% difference in volume, shape and aspects that make their appearance different. Hence there are differenttypes of breasts..

Some solutions for asymmetrical breasts are related to plastic surgery interventions. After this type of operations, a post-mastectomy bra should be used to ensure comfort and correct recovery of the breast. However, in some cases it may be enough to resort to wearing special lingerie

to flatter and balance the size of the breasts. In this case, bras that completely cover the chest are recommended, for example full cup bras are a great option. They adapt to both breasts, hiding their asymmetry.

 

Types of breast asymmetry

Among the classification that the different types of breast asymmetry receive according to the size of the breasts and their body appearance, there are 3 types of asymmetric breasts defined as:

Anisomastia

When the difference between volume and chest size is notorious, they cause changes in their image.

Anisothelia

When the differences in nipple and areola inequality are significant, slight changes can be seen in the breast.

Causes of breast asymmetry

The presence of one breast larger than another is a symptomatology, which is due to different aspects such as:

Radiotherapy treatments

In the case of diseases such as breast cancer or the removal of malignant tumors, a breast that has received radiotherapy may have its size and volume affected, giving rise to the appearance of asymmetrical breasts.

 

Asymmetrical breast involution

Due to changes or irregular hormonal production during pregnancy or as we age, causing differences in breast size or asymmetry.

Lactation

Breast asymmetry is very common in women who breastfeed their babies. This occurs when a baby breastfeeds more on one breast than the other, thereby affecting asymmetry and changes in size are evident. In this case, we recommend using a good nursing bra during the period during this stage.

Implants

Some breast implants or surgeries produce side effects in capsular contracture, due to the rupture of the implant, leaving differences in changes in breast asymmetry.

How is breast asymmetry solved?

This symptomatology of one breast larger than the other can be solved with processes that require the assistance of medical professionals in most cases. Depending on the type of breast asymmetry and its origin, we find different solutions:

Breast lift

Known as mastopexy, the process is carried out when the breast sinks and falls significantly in relation to the other. This unevenness is observed below the fold of the breast and once observed, modifications must be made to its appearance.

Conocido como mastopexia y se efectúa el proceso cuando el seno se hunde y cae significativamente en relación al otro. Esta desnivelación se observa por debajo del pliegue del seno y una vez observada se debe efectuar modificaciones en su apariencia.

Breast reduction 

If differences in size are evident, that is, one breast is larger than the other, only small surgeries will have to be applied to reduce the breast with greater volume and achieve balance between both.

Fat transfer

This surgery focuses on increasing breast size through 2 stages that includes removing fat from one of the areas of the body and incorporating it into the breasts. Typically, you can extract from the abdomen and then reinject the fat into both breasts to contribute to their enlargement and balance.

What type of bras to choose to solve breast asymmetry?

 

Finding the bra style for asymmetrical breasts is a key solution to regulate and achieve the same breast size. At Leonisa you can find different bra options that differ with characteristics such as:

Coated bras

They are created to give you an appearance due to the presence of cups that adapt to breast types. In this way, it is possible to improve its size and symmetry depending on the breast.

You can choose padded bras that serve to shape and improve their shape by filling in the gaps due to volume differences.

Unlined bras

They are constructed without lining, to instantly adjust to the type of breast without requiring any push-up effect. Therefore, they have an ideal distribution that adapts, without requiring extra fillings. These are invisible, seamless bras, that also provide extra comfort.

Strapless bras

The leveling or use of the strap on the bra is decisive in its fit and adaptation to the type of breast. In this way, you can loosen or reduce the support on both sides of the breasts to ensure that they are united, fixed at the right height and size.

At Leonisa, the online store specializing in women's underwear, you can choose different presentations of lingerie, which serve to solve the problem of having one breast larger than another.
