What is breast deformity correction?
Many women come to our clinic with breast deformities, which are abnormalities in the shape, size, or position of the breasts that can affect both appearance and the patient's health.
This condition often affects self-esteem, and for many women, discussing the issue with another woman can be difficult, embarrassing, and even uncomfortable.
Here are some of the most common breast deformities:
Breast ptosis: Sagging of the breasts.
Breast hypoplasia: Insufficient breast development.
Breast asymmetry: Difference in the size or shape of the breasts.
Reduction mammoplasty: Reducing the size of the breasts.
Gigantomastia: Excessive breast development.
Inverted nipples: Nipples that retract inward.
Polymastia: Presence of more than two nipples.
Poland syndrome: Partial or complete absence of the pectoralis major muscle or abnormalities in the same-side hand.
What do the procedures involve?
Since each case is unique and requires a specific treatment, either local or general anaesthesia may be applied depending on the patient’s condition, health status, and the recommendations of both the anaesthetist and the specialist at the Instituto Dra. Ana Torres.
The incision will depend on the type of deformity and the treatment plan defined by the plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery specialist at the Instituto Dra. Ana Torres.
In most cases, breast tissue is removed, the mammary glands are repositioned, and, if needed, the areola and nipple are also repositioned.

Frequently asked questions
For any type of breast deformity or discomfort, the best way to determine if you are a candidate is by consulting a specialist in reconstructive and plastic surgery at the Instituto Dra. Ana Torres. They will provide a proper diagnosis and assess the patient's health to ensure the procedure is viable.
It is important to follow the instructions from the plastic surgery specialist at the Instituto Dra. Ana Torres, including wearing a special bra during the first few weeks, avoiding intense physical activity, and using sunscreen to protect the area from sun exposure. It is essential to follow the specialist's recommendations to ensure that the results are natural and long-lasting.
Although the risks at the Instituto Dra. Ana Torres are minimal, it is possible that after reconstructive surgery, there may be bleeding, infection, bruising, visible scars, breast asymmetry, loss of nipple sensitivity, difficulties with breastfeeding, and unsatisfactory results. It is important to consult with the doctor at the Instituto Dra. Ana Torres regarding these risks and how we work to prevent them.
