Are you concerned that your breasts aren’t the\u00a0same size and shape?<\/strong> In his experience with more than 7,000 cosmetic breast surgeries, Philadelphia plastic surgeon Dr. Ted Eisenberg<\/strong><\/a> has discovered that breasts are sisters, not twins.<\/p>\n

Few women have identical breasts;\u00a0the difference might be slight or more obvious. Chances are one\u00a0of your feet is slightly larger than the other one, too. That\u2019s because\u00a0the two sides of the body are not perfectly matched mirror images.\u00a0They are asymmetrical.<\/p>\n

Nipple position, chest diameter, the amount of breast tissue, and\u00a0the location of the breast on the chest wall all contribute to the\u00a0appearance of your breasts. When one breast hangs a little lower\u00a0than the other, it might give the illusion of being bigger. It might\u00a0also look bigger when there is a longer distance from the nipple\u00a0to the inframammary fold (the crease beneath the breast). With\u00a0all these variables, it is no surprise that no one has identical twins. Read recent patient reviews here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tIs it normal for my breasts to be different in size? \u25bc\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
\nTime after time, when a woman comes in for a breast augmentation consultation and looks at dozens of before and after photos, she is relieved to find out that she isn\u2019t the only one with breasts of different sizes. \u201cBreasts are sisters, not twins,\u201d Dr. Eisenberg explains. \u201cThe difference might be slight or more obvious.\u00a0And while I cannot transform sisters into twins, I can make them look like sisters from the same family.\u201d Read more.<\/a>

\n\t\t\t
\nWhile plastic surgery websites and Internet forums describe a complicated approach to correcting tuberous breasts with silicone implants, Dr. Eisenberg has achieved an equally aesthetic result using saline breast implants in a one-stage operation.\u00a0\u201cUnfortunately, surgeons created the term \u2018tuberous breast deformity\u2019 (TBD) and it’s become a \u2018thing\u2019 that’s causing unnecessary concerns for women. Women\u2019s breasts come in all shapes and sizes, and in my opinion, they shouldn\u2019t be labeled,” Dr. Eisenberg says.\u00a0Read more<\/a>.

\n\t\t\t\tHow will I choose my breast implant size? \u25bc\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
\nAlthough women phrase it in many different ways, their most burning question\u00a0about breast augmentation boils down to this: How do I know what size breast implants to get? In order to choose breast implants that will give you the look you want, you need to know your true\u00a0starting size, which includes\u00a0your height and weight, frame, breast diameter and skin elasticity. At your consultation with Dr. Eisenberg, you\u2019ll get all of your questions answered. Learn more.<\/a>

\n\t\t\t
\nWhile some doctors choose to perform breast augmentation and breast lift surgery in an outpatient surgicenter, Dr. Eisenberg does all of his surgeries in the safety of the operating room at\u00a0Nazareth Hospital<\/a>\u00a0in Northeast Philadelphia. His team of anesthesiologists, nurses, technicians, and recovery room staff are talented, competent and sensitive to his patient\u2019s needs.

Breast Asymmetry<\/h2>\n

Breast asymmetry occurs when one breast does not develop fully compared with the other.<\/span> When we talk about breast asymmetry, we are talking about a woman whose breasts differ in size by a half-cup or more. Depending on the extent of the asymmetry and what you hope to accomplish, you might be a candidate for a breast augmentation<\/a><\/u> with breast implants of different sizes, a breast lift<\/a><\/u>, a breast reduction<\/a><\/span>, or some combination of these procedures. For more information about what\u2019s involved in surgery and recovery, click on the above links to these three procedures. See the breast asymmetry before and after photo gallery.\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Tuberous Breasts<\/h2>\n

This is a congenital condition in which the breast might have a long and narrow appearance, rather than the more common round shape. The breast may be droopy and the areola may be puffy. There could also be a lack of skin under the nipple and\/or the inframammary crease might be higher than usual.<\/p>\n

The tuberous breast first becomes visible at puberty when the\u00a0mammary gland doesn\u2019t fully develop. Breast augmentation surgery will help improve\u00a0the appearance of the breast itself, but it won\u2019t change the puffiness of the nipple.\u00a0That can be improved by an areola reduction.\u00a0According to one study, 50 percent of women who come in for breast augmentation have this concern.<\/p>\n

While plastic surgery websites and Internet forums describe a complicated approach to correcting tuberous breasts using silicone implants, Dr. Eisenberg has achieved an equally aesthetic result by using saline breast implants in a<\/strong>\u00a0simpler, safer, one-stage procedure.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Eisenberg’s article on One-Stage Correction of Tuberous Breast Deformity Using Saline Implants\u00a0<\/b>has been recently published in the American Journal of Cosmetic Surgery. <\/em>Click here<\/a> to read more.<\/p>\n

The Consultation<\/h2>\n

We allow about 45 minutes for your cosmetic breast surgery\u00a0consultation so you have plenty of time to get answers to all of your questions\u00a0about\u00a0cosmetic breast surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Ted Eisenberg<\/b><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>will examine you in the presence of one of his office staff, and if you desire, your significant other. He will take your medical history, discuss your specific health considerations, and examine and measure you.\u00a0Oftentimes, women know that their breasts are different sizes, but they don\u2019t know how much of a difference there is \u2013 and this is important in determining the surgical approach.\u00a0You\u2019ll be able to discuss your expectations and find out what cosmetic breast surgery can accomplish.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll see before and after pictures of actual patients with breast asymmetry or tuberous breasts who are of a similar height, weight and frame as you, as if you were looking at yourself in a mirror. In the Asymmetry Photo Galler<\/strong>y<\/a>, almost every woman had some degree of tuberous breasts; they all received saline implants. You will be able to see how you would look after surgery and pick the size you like best.<\/p>\n

Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n

I just turned 18? Can I get breast implants?<\/strong>
\nYou are not too\u00a0young for saline breast implants<\/strong>, according to guidelines from the FDA and the implant manufacturers, but you are not eligible for silicone gel implants<\/strong> until you are 22. Age isn’t the only deciding factor. You also need to be fully grown before you have cosmetic breast surgery, which means there have been no changes in your height, weight or breast size for two years. Although most women finish growing by age 18, others continue to grow into their early 20s.<\/p>\n

Does my left breast look a little bigger to you?
\n<\/b>Maybe just a tiny bit, but join the crowd. It\u2019s recorded in the medical literature that the left breast is usually slightly larger than the right, and Dr. Eisenberg has found this to be the\u00a0case for about 9 out of every 10 of my patients.\u00a0No one knows for sure why the left breast is commonly bigger; some theorize\u00a0that it is because the heart is on the left side. Others suggest that it is because\u00a0right-handed women nurse their babies more often from their left breast,\u00a0so they can keep their dominant hand free. (Ninety percent of the population\u00a0is right-handed.)<\/p>\n

What is Poland’s syndrome?<\/strong>
\nIt is a severe but rare instance of asymmetry in which the chest muscle on one side of the body is underdeveloped. In girls, the breast\u00a0on that side might never develop. In severe cases, Poland\u2019s syndrome can also\u00a0affect the growth of the ribs and the arm. Both boys and girls can be born with\u00a0the condition, but it is seen three times more frequently in boys.<\/p>\n
