ASYMMETRICAL BREAST DEFORMITIES

Mammoplasty in correcting scar-induced breast deformities*.

Post-burn or post-inflammatory scarring of the breast may have significant effects on the shape and volume of the breast as well as on the nipple-areola complex (NAC). Significant asymmetry of the breasts and distortion of the NAC may result, with marked consequent psychological and physiological sequelae for the patients. This report presents three cases of scar-induced breast deformities and ...

Fat injection to correct contour deformities in the reconstructed breast.

BACKGROUND A ten-year, single-surgeon study of 37 patients from 1993 to 2003 who underwent fat injections to improve contour deformities in their reconstructed breasts was reviewed. METHODS Fat was harvested from elsewhere in the body using a low-pressure syringe lipoaspiration system, washed gently with saline, and injected into depressions along the margins of reconstructed breasts. Blinded...

Asymmetrical Interactions and Asymmetrical Constraints

The three approaches to too-many-solutions problems discussed in the previous chapter do not treat them as symptomatic of significant generalizations about input-output mappings rather than outputs. Because this systematic challenge to OT is not recognized, previous attacks on these problems, apart from de Lacy's general proposal, see them as an assortment of individual difficult cases and anal...

How asymmetrical before it's asymmetrical?

[Breast segments: a model for the prevention of deformities in conservative surgery for breast cancer].

Conservative breast cancer surgery requires an exact knowledge on the impact that local resection may have on the cosmetic result, and for this reason, the characteristics of each breast region must be taken into account. The segmentation theory helps to predict the consequences of local resection in each breast segment and, at the same time, optimise the choice of the best procedure for their ...
