The deformity of the spine can generate the perception of several sinuses
In general, no part of the human body is exactly the same, there are always nuances that can be noticed between one side and the other. And, for women, it is common for most to notice the asymmetry of the breasts. While normal, it can be annoying, affect self-esteem, and even hide another condition, such as scoliosis. “Scoliosis is characterized by an angulation of the vertebrae of the spine, which may form an “S” or a “C”. With this deviation in the position of the back, it is possible for a breast to appear larger or in a different position” , explains the specialist in spinal deformities at Clínica SO.U, dr. José Thiago Portela Kruppa.
The condition has several types, determined by the cause and severity based on the angle. The most common type, for example, is idiopathic, with no reason directly related to its appearance and, in adolescents, primarily affecting girls aged 11 and over. Since it is often a disease that has no clear symptoms, it is important for women to remain alert to these changes, in shoulder position or breast asymmetry, for a correct diagnosis. Treatment for scoliosis changes based on severity assessment and follow-up may be recommended to assess progress, use of a brace, and physical therapy to strengthen muscles in the region. When the spinal angle exceeds 45°, surgery may be indicated. But, in cases where there is a perceived difference in the breasts, is plastic surgery recommended for correction? According to the doctor, in cases where the asymmetry is very large, surgery may be indicated. However, each case must be evaluated. “Mammoplasty is a viable solution, provided that the problem is controlled, stabilized and there are no more problems. A discussion between the orthopedist and the plastic surgeon is recommended for the evaluation and definition of the procedure”. As with most health problems, the earlier diagnosis and treatment are made, the better the patients’ quality of life will be. So it is important that there is constant self-care and, when fixing any changes, that a doctor is consulted as soon as possible. *Dr. José Thiago Portela Kruppa is an orthopedic and spine surgeon from Santa Casa de São Paulo.
