This patient suffers from Poland's Syndrome. This condition has a multitude of presentations but most commonly presents with severe breast assymetry and an absence of the pectoralis muscle of the affected (smaller) breast. She previously underwent a surgical procedure with a different surgeon which included a bilateral breast lift and placement of a left implant several years prior to seeing me for consultation. This is a very difficult condition to correct and requires expert care. As you can see from the preoperative photos, she was still quite unbalanced, uncomfortable and dissatisfied. I performed a right breast lift with a small breast reduction and added a small implant to the right breast to improve the upper pole fullness. I then removed the existing small left breast implant, tightened and lifted the left nipple and areola and revised the breast pocket to allow for a larger implant . All of these maneuvers were required to bring her into better balance. She is 6 weeks post-op in the photos.
