Case in brief
Three patients with differing degrees of breast asymmetry underwent individualized correction using a sequential augmentation-and-reduction strategy. Crisalix 3D simulations and external sizers helped plan implant volumes in line with each patient’s desired appearance. Clinical and photographic assessments showed improved symmetry, and mean satisfaction was 4.7/5. One patient developed minor scar hypertrophy, which improved with silicone gel application.
What made this case unusual
The report describes using 3D simulation alongside external sizers to plan an augmentation-first sequence, with augmentation providing a reference for subsequent tissue removal on the opposite breast.
Diagnostic / clinical pearl
For breast asymmetry correction, 3D simulation and external sizers can support implant selection and shared preoperative planning; an augmentation-first sequence may also provide a reference for contralateral tissue removal.
