Assimetry of the breast in adolescence

Adolescence is the time of many changes, both physical and emotional. Many adolescent girls have questions about breast development, but they should understand that there is no ideal pair of mammary glands or the right size and shape, because each woman's breast is individual.

Adolescent changes

Already in 9 or 10 years, adolescents begin to experience changes in almost all areas of external and internal states. This is the time period in which the adolescent girl publishes, the consequence of which are the physiological changes that prepare the girl's body for motherhood. Many adolescents are concerned about the accompanying changes and are trying to cope with them.

Breast in adolescence is developing and is an inevitable aspect of puberty. Some breast changes that occur at this time can be worrisome for a teenage girl.

In adolescence, the breast can be large or small, bumpy or smooth. Many girls like to compare their breasts, but you need to understand that their breasts will change with time.

Some breasts grow unevenly, which is common. If the nipples go in and not out, they are called "inverted."This is normal and does not represent a health problem. The retracted nipples should be kept clean to avoid any skin infections.

Breast consists of adipose tissue and a large amount of iron that produce milk, when women give birth, they are called mammary glands. In the chest begins to develop a small tubercle, begins to grow under the nipple, this is called the embryo of the breast. The round, dark area around the nipple is called the areola. Areoles can be a variety of colors - from light pink to dark brown, depending on the color of the skin of a teenager. Light-skinned girls, as a rule, have the color of the nipple skin pink and olive-colored, the black-skinned adolescents - from light to dark brown areola. Some may notice hair growing around the nipples and this is normal too.

Breast development abnormalities

Also, breast asymmetry in adolescence may occur due to a mammary gland injury in infancy, but in most cases the cause of asymmetry is not established. Asymmetry of the breast can finally manifest itself at the end of puberty. The expressed asymmetry of the mammary glands can be corrected by performing a surgical correction after the sexual development of the adolescent.

Problem phenomena in adolescent girls

Girls with normal physical development experience asymmetry of the breast. It may be that one breast develops earlier than the other, resulting in a non-uniform breast size.

This is normal for girls who have a period of puberty. There are cases when both breasts began to develop simultaneously, but one breast grows faster than the other. This leads to asymmetry of the mammary glands.

A medical examination of most adolescents with different breast sizes suggests that this is normal, it is not considered a disease and should not cause concern. These girls should be sure that the difference in the size of the breast will become less noticeable with further physical development.

Treatment of breast asymmetry in adolescents requires a creative approach. There are several possible etiologies for asymmetry and equally different treatment options that can be adapted to a specific patient. Terms of surgical treatment are also determined individually.

Breast asymmetry correction may require more than one operation, as well as setting procedures, since both breasts can vary in different ways over time.

Adolescents with severe undevelopment of one breast, characterized by a one-sided increase, are performing autologous reconstructions that require a longer period to achieve the desired result.

Symmetric breast changes can be caused by physiological evolution.
