With summer on its way here in Temecula Valley, breast lifts and breast augmentations are on the rise. While the size of your breasts can be an important aspect for your self-confidence and happiness, some women are not too concerned with the size, but the shape instead.

Misshaped breasts can be easily taken care of with our breast shape correction surgery in Temecula!
Other Breast Shape Procedures
The first type of breast condition that could need shape correction surgery would be the most common is called Breast Asymmetry, meaning that the left breast is a different size in comparison to the right one. When your two breast don’t match, this could be due to different amounts of thickness in the skin, different amounts of breast tissue in each breast, or just how elastic and stretchy the skin is in both breasts. Just like there are many causes that could be the reason for your breast asymmetry, there are many treatments that can be done to take care of the problem.
Another breast condition that is common is called tight lower pole of the breast, and this is when there are signs of underdevelopment in the lower part of the breast, below the nipple. Many patients tell their doctors that they believe their breasts are too small for their chest. In this case, the nipple resides very close to the bottom rim of the breasts, and in some cases may even appear to point in a downwards direction. This issue can easily be fixed with a breast augmentation in Temecula, and breast tissue can be placed directly into the area where the patient desires.
The third breast shape condition that is not as common is called Tubular Breast Shape. About five percent of patients seeking breast augmentations seek them to fix this issue. This, in most cases, is because the areola (dark circle around the nipple) is filled with breast tissue while the breast area below is minimal. In comparison, this could make the breast appear smaller and the areola appears to puff out of the chest. Asymmetry is a condition that usually accompanies tubular breast shape, and can be treated as well. Contact us today to see what procedure is best for you.
Lastly, there is one more breast shape condition that is extremely rare called True Poland Syndrome. Patients with True Poland Syndrome typically feel that there breasts are too small and/or asymmetrical, and may also feel that their ribcage or chest wall is misshapen. One of the main reasons for true poland syndrome is the complete lack of the large chest muscle that is located behind the breasts. This syndrome usually only occurs on one side of the chest, which is what makes the breasts appear asymmetrical. This could also cause a slight weakness of the arm muscles on the side of where the large chest muscle is absent.
