Reply to Comment to: Tuberous Breast Associated with Chest Wall Deformity: A Challenging Planning for Breast Augmentation

Even in cases of noticeable breasts asymmetry, such as in our case, it is advisable to use implants with the same volume and projection, in order to maintain a similar breast footprint and allow a similar aging behavior over time. This can be achieved by reducing the size of the larger breast, thereby addressing the volume discrepancy before the placement of the implants. However, in our case, the skeletal deformities resulted in a significant disparity in the projection of the right and left sides of the chest wall, hindering the use of breast implants with identical projection. Therefore, due to this asymmetrical chest wall deformity, the left prosthesis was placed behind the central and lateral glandular parenchyma, avoiding hyper-projection in the medial part of the breast.Level of Evidence V This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
