Breast augmentation surgery is most appropriate for women who are emotionally and physically healthy who wish to enhance the appearance of their breasts. Good candidates for breast augmentation surgery understand the benefits and risks associated with the procedure and have a realistic understanding of what to expect before, during, and after their breast augmentation surgery. Before deciding if breast augmentation surgery is a good option, patients will want to consult a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon who can decide what breast augmentation surgery procedure is most appropriate.

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.
