Mammary asymmetry can result from breast augmentation surgery when one of the breasts is higher that the other or when one or both are placed too medially or laterally on the chest. This is most often caused by incorrect placement of the implants during surgery. There are four different incision locations that can be used during breast augmentation surgery to insert the implants: around the nipple, under the breast, in the armpit, and in the bellybutton. The further away the incision site from the breasts, the greater risk of surgical error leading to mammary asymmetry.
