The paper presents an algorithm for estimating of the breast asymmetryin patients with chest deformity presenting for breast augmentation. Breast augmentation allowedto eliminatethis asymmetry. Morphometric analysis showed a high efficiency ofsuggested newsurgical techniques for correctionbreast asymmetry in patients with Poland syndrome.
