The incidence of tuberous breast deformity in asymmetric and symmetric mammaplasty patients. Discussion

摘要: Background: Breast asymmetry is commonly accompanied by tuberous deformity. To date, no study has reported the incidence of this breast deformity in presence asymmetry. A retrospective analysis standard preoperative photographs was performed on 375 consecutive female patients presenting for mammaplasty over a 10-year span. Methods: Women were examined symmetry, asymmetry, and Patients graded Grolleau Classification System. having congenital anomalies, tumors, infection, radiation, chest wall deformities, previous surgery history, incomplete chart data excluded. Results: Of studied, 81.1 percent (n = 304) presented with these asymmetric women, 88.8 per. cent 270) found to have 71 who symmetric, 7 5) tuberous.
