There are many reasons that patients request breast augmentation. One of the more common reasons that patients request breast augmentation is to help correct breast asymmetry. Congenital heart defects are repaired via median sternotomy incisions and often through subcostal incisions. These incisions can impair the blood supply to the developing breast and can affect overall breast growth and symmetry. Silicone gel mammary prosthesis can be used to help improve breast symmetry.
