Struggling With Uneven Breasts?

As the most common cosmetic surgery procedure in the United States, breast augmentations are performed for a whole host of reasons. One of the most popular influences is breast asymmetry, a case in which one breast is noticeably larger than the other. While this is considered normal for women during puberty, in most cases the breasts even out as they reach adulthood. However, for one in four women, a condition known as breast hypertrophy contributes to a significantly uneven balance from one breast to the other. Breast hypertrophy occurs when the tissue in one breast grows too rapidly for the resulting breasts to have an even appearance. As noted in a recent article by Health News Digest, this condition often leads to embarrassment, hesitancy regarding sexual relationships, and limitation in clothing decisions. For many women, breast augmentation may be the best solution to solving asymmetry of the breasts.
