What about chest asymmetry?

Basic information

Breast is an ectodermal organ, which originates from skin and belongs to the superficial structure of chest wall. Girls' breasts begin to develop at the age of 12 to 13, and basically mature at the age of 15 to 17. Generally speaking, the mammary gland is composed of 15 ~ 20 glandular lobes, although there are differences among people and nationalities. Breast dysplasia is essentially a kind of tissue defect, so it is advisable to increase breast contents, expand the volume and improve the appearance in the treatment, so that women can show their unique curvaceous beauty and charm.

Breast is an important second sexual characteristic to show women's bodybuilding. Breast size asymmetry, one big and one small, is not perfect from the perspective of girls' bodybuilding, and sometimes even does great harm to girls' self-esteem. In fact, although the breasts on both sides are symmetrical in most cases, after careful observation and comparison, it will be found that sometimes they are not exactly the same, just like other symmetrical organs of human beings are not absolutely symmetrical. The breasts on both sides are slightly different in size and shape, which is often seen, and it does not matter. For example, two breasts are larger on one side and smaller on the other; One nipple protrudes, the other nipple invaginates slightly, and so on. If this situation has been like this, it has not happened recently, and there has not been any discomfort, then this is a normal phenomenon and there is no need to worry about it.

Reason editor

1: Breast asymmetry is congenital. During embryonic development, one breast develops abnormally, and the breast develops to adolescence. Because of hormones and progesterone in the body, one breast with strong developmental sensitivity develops too fast and the other breast develops too slowly, which leads to obvious asymmetry of both breasts after puberty! In view of this situation, we can adopt two schemes, prosthesis breast enhancement or autologous fat breast enhancement, to achieve the effect of symmetrical, plump and charming breasts! Restore women's confidence and beauty.

2. Acquired breast asymmetry mainly occurs in women who have given birth and breast-feeding. When feeding a child, it is customary to use a breast or an incorrect feeding posture. Breasts often eat on one side. After weaning, breast tissue atrophy is more serious, resulting in asymmetry of both breasts. For women who have not breastfed or given birth, they can pay attention to breastfeeding evenly on both sides in the future. For breast asymmetry after breastfeeding, breast augmentation surgery or autologous fat transplantation can also be used to treat breast asymmetry and sagging.

3. There is also the usual posture and irregular amount of exercise, which leads to uneven development of the chest muscles on both sides of the breast. You can also achieve the goal of symmetrical fullness on both sides of the breast through breast augmentation surgery the day after tomorrow.

Processing method editor

Breast asymmetry is quite common. Mild asymmetry is a normal phenomenon. However, obvious bilateral asymmetry, especially one breast is small and the other breast is large, is a rare congenital malformation.

It is difficult to achieve complete symmetry in the size and shape of the breasts on both sides, and subtle differences are often not noticed by me and do not need special treatment. Breast asymmetry caused by abnormal development of one or both breasts or acquired endocrine influence has the following conditions.

1, one breast is stunted and the other is normal, so it is feasible to treat small breasts with breast augmentation.

2. Small breasts on one side and hypertrophy on the other. This treatment is feasible for small breast augmentation and large breast reduction plasty.

3, one breast hypertrophy, the other side of the normal size. The treatment can be hypertrophy side reduction plasty.

4. Bilateral small breasts are asymmetrical and bilateral unequal augmentation mammoplasty is feasible.

5. Bilateral breast hypertrophy is asymmetrical, and bilateral unequal reduction or plasty is feasible.

6. For patients with severe breast ptosis, breast suspension is sometimes needed.

If the breast size difference between the two sides is not too big, it can be treated by self-correction. Take the left chest as an example. When exercising with a chest expander, you should deliberately increase the stretching times of your left arm and consciously lift heavy objects with your left hand. This can not only strengthen the left chest muscles and breast enhancement, but also use the left arm more to promote the development of the right hemisphere of the brain and make people smarter.

In addition, you can also gently press the left breast with your right hand, massage clockwise, three times a day, 30 times each time, or breast enhancement.

If there is a big gap in breast size between the two sides and the above self-correction methods are ineffective, we should consider going to the hospital for surgical correction.

4. Bilateral small breasts are asymmetrical and bilateral unequal augmentation mammoplasty is feasible.

5. Bilateral breast hypertrophy is asymmetrical, and bilateral unequal reduction or plasty is feasible.

6. For patients with severe breast ptosis, breast suspension is sometimes needed.

Preventive editing

Many women are worried about the asymmetry of their breasts, or that their breasts are "one big and one small". From a medical point of view, there is no better way to correct the asymmetry of breast size except plastic surgery. But the following measures can be taken to prevent it: First, should we pay attention to whether the bilateral development is symmetrical during adolescence? When the phenomenon of uneven breast development is found, you should go to the hospital to consult a specialist in time to solve the causes of uneven breast development and take corresponding measures. For example, massage the small side of the breast, do breast enhancement exercises, or consciously strengthen the activities of the upper limbs on the small side of the breast, thus promoting the development of the small side of the breast and the contralateral breast. Appropriate measures can reverse the disadvantages of different sizes of bilateral breasts during development. Secondly, lactation is the key period to correct breast size. If bilateral breasts are found to be different in size before breastfeeding, the number of breastfeeding should be increased to make the small breasts gradually increase, but the contralateral breasts should not be ignored. Breast-feeding mothers should carefully observe the changes of bilateral breasts in front of the mirror. After a long period of breastfeeding, small breasts can be basically corrected.

It should be noted that even if both breasts are symmetrical before breastfeeding, one thing cannot be ignored when breastfeeding. Otherwise, the original symmetrical breasts will cause bilateral breasts to be different in size after breastfeeding. "Waste utilization" is the law of biology. On the basis of "multi-purpose", the glands and acinus in the small breast will increase obviously, thus increasing the size of the breast accordingly. After weaning, the original small breasts will also be on an equal footing with the contralateral breasts. Thirdly, in our daily life, some women are used to using their right hands. Under the control of the right upper limb, the muscles in the right chest are developed correspondingly, and the blood circulation is also vigorous. Over time, the right breast will also increase accordingly. This is because when the right breast is in a state of vigorous blood circulation, estrogen brings more contents to the breast, and the breast tissue development is relatively perfect; Similarly, the metabolites of this breast are also taken away because of good blood circulation; However, the activity of the left upper limb is small, the development of the left chest is relatively slow, and the breast shape is also small. If you change the way your upper arm moves in adulthood, it is often difficult to change the shape of the breast that has been shaped. If we continue to strengthen the upper limb on one side of the small breast, we can more or less promote the fullness of this side of the breast.

The above three reasons are the key to the different sizes of bilateral breasts. Why emphasize that breasts should be as symmetrical as possible? According to the research results of foreign researchers, when measuring breast volume, if the ratio of bilateral breast volume is smaller, the probability of breast cancer is lower; On the contrary, the greater the volume ratio of bilateral breasts, the higher the risk of breast cancer. Experts from the University of Liverpool and university of central lancashire in the UK examined the breasts of 504 healthy women by X-ray, and measured the volume of both breasts at the same time. The breast volume ratio of this group of healthy women does not exceed 2.5%; In the female group with breast cancer, the ratio of bilateral breast volume exceeds 2.7%. This shows that the greater the ratio of bilateral breast volumes, the higher the risk of breast cancer.

So, why do different sizes of bilateral breasts lead to breast cancer? According to the analysis of relevant data, the following factors may be the inducement of breast diseases.

First, due to the different sizes of bilateral breasts, the uneven distribution of gland tissue in the breast may lead to different sensitivity of glands to estrogen. The higher the sensitivity of gland tissue to estrogen, the higher the probability of breast disease.

Secondly, due to the different sizes of the breasts on both sides, the density of the breast tissues on both sides is also different. Breast tissue with high density is more prone to breast diseases and even breast cancer than breast tissue with low density. The reason is that breast groups with high compactness are easy to accept estrogen provocation;

Thirdly, due to the different sizes of bilateral breasts, the metabolites produced in the breasts are also different, and the elimination rate of metabolites is also different. Eliminating metabolic residues in slow milk will also cause pathogenic factors to glands. In addition, the amount of exudate in the catheter may vary with the size of the breast, and the side with more exudate may become one of the pathogenic factors.

To sum up, if the relative size of the two breasts is the same, it is one of the factors to reduce the incidence of breast diseases, but it is not the absolute factor to reduce the incidence of breast diseases. Breast diseases should also be related to many factors, such as endocrine disorders, individual differences, genetic factors, environmental factors, lifestyle and diet. To this end, women with absolutely symmetrical breasts can only be regarded as reducing a risk factor, and they can't sit back and relax, but also plan ahead.
