Enfoque de Aumento Primero para la Corrección de la Asimetría Mamaria Utilizando Imágenes 3D Crisalix: Una Serie de 3...

Gross breast asymmetry, characterized by significant differences in size or shape between breasts, poses both psychological and surgical challenges. Achieving optimal symmetry requires a tailored approach that balances patient preferences with surgical precision. This study evaluates a sequential strategy for managing breast asymmetry through a combination of augmentation and reduction techniques, enhanced by Crisalix 3D imaging software (version 2) for preoperative planning. Three patients presenting with varying degrees of breast asymmetry were included, each undergoing individualized surgical correction based on their specific anatomical characteristics. Preoperative planning involved 3D software simulation to determine implant sizes corresponding to patients' desired postoperative appearance, alongside external sizers to validate volume projections. Outcomes were assessed through clinical and photographic evaluations, a 5-point Likert scale for satisfaction, and complication rates. Across all cases, high satisfaction scores (average 4.7/5) were achieved, with notable improvements in symmetry. Minor scar hypertrophy was observed in one patient, which improved with silicone gel application. The integration of 3D imaging software significantly enhanced preoperative decision making and patient communication, allowing for more precise implant selection and improved prediction of post-operative outcomes. The sequential approach proved advantageous by providing a clean surgical field, reducing infection risks, and offering a stable reference for tissue removal during contralateral procedures. This approach also facilitated preoperative discussions with patients regarding their desired breast size, allowing informed decision making aligned with their preferences. A carefully planned sequential strategy, augmented by advanced imaging technology, offers a logical, patient-centered method for correcting breast asymmetry, minimizing complications and optimizing outcomes. Future studies integrating advanced imaging and planning tools may further enhance surgical precision and patient satisfaction.
