Breast and Chest Anatomy

Image Description:

Breast surgery and the anatomy of the breast shape and surrounding anatomy varies among patients so knowing and understanding the anatomy of the breast ensures safe surgical planning. When the breasts are carefully examined, significant asymmetries are revealed in most patients. Any preexisting asymmetries, spinal curvature, or chest wall deformities must be recognised. An in-depth understanding therefore of chest wall anatomy is paramount to those performing any surgical procedure of the chest or breast.
