Etiological factors and clinical manifestations of mammary gland asymmetry
Some women notice that their breasts are in different directions. It can also have different volumes and differ in the size of the areola and nipple. The main causes of pathology include:
- Genetic aspects. If relatives have breast asymmetry in the family, the risk of its occurrence in the offspring increases significantly
- Hormonal changes. The shape and size of the breasts are affected by pregnancy, as well as lactation and menopause
- Physiological factors. Sudden fluctuations in body weight, especially weight loss or weight gain, also cause changes in breast anatomy
One of the main signs of asymmetry is size variability - that is, the difference in the volume of the mammary glands. Some women additionally experience unevenness in the inframammary skin fold.
Associated symptoms
Against the background of asymmetry, problems with lactation often appear. Temporary disturbances are more common, but some women face the problem of a complete lack of milk production.
Additional symptoms include:
- Change in sensitivity of the areola or nipple
- Swelling and hyperemia in the breast area
- Feeling of pain or discomfort in the area of the asymmetric gland
Due to asymmetry, many women experience decreased self-esteem and develop anxiety or depression.
The main indication for surgery is macromastia. This pathology develops against the background of excessive growth of glandular and adipose tissue and is manifested by an excessive increase in the weight and volume of the mammary glands.
There are usually no medical contraindications for most surgeries, since they do not affect reproductive functions or the ability to breastfeed.
- Breast ptosis In this case, one or both mammary glands tend to fall below normal
- Juvenile disharmony This is a special type of mammary hypertrophy that develops in girls during puberty.
- Presence of benign formations Their presence distorts the shape of the breast, making it asymmetrical
- Loss of breast volume This most often occurs after sudden weight loss or cessation of lactation.
Types of surgery
Thread tissue lifting is most often used: this method is best suited for correcting minor defects. In this case, thin threads are used, which the specialist inserts through mini-punctures. Minimal trauma makes this procedure attractive to many women.
The following types of surgery are also distinguished:
- Lipofilling. The essence of this method is to transfer fat from one part of the body to the chest area. This allows you to further correct the contours and get rid of unwanted fat folds. Sometimes part of the transplanted fat is absorbed and as a result there is a need for repeated intervention
- Use of implants. This technique gives the most stable and long-lasting results. After the procedure, weak scars remain
- Complex mammoplasty. Combined intervention includes correction of asymmetry and changing the size and shape of the breast
The choice of the appropriate correction method depends on the cause of the pathology, the age of the patient and the presence of concomitant diseases.

Asymmetry of the mammary glands is a fairly common phenomenon. To one degree or another, it occurs in all women.
Minor differences in size or shape often go unnoticed and do not cause concern, but more pronounced asymmetry often becomes a reason to consult a specialist.
