TYPES OF BREAST SURGERIES

Several breast surgeries target specific concerns or goals related to the breasts’ size, shape, or appearance. Some common types of breast surgery include:

Breast augmentation (augmentation mammoplasty): This procedure involves using breast implants or fat transfer. There are a few types of implants that patients can choose from. Some of these are silicone gel and saline-filled implants.

As a cosmetic breast surgery, it increases breast size, enhances shape, and improves overall symmetry. Breast augmentation is typically performed for cosmetic reasons or as part of breast reconstruction after mastectomy.

Breast reduction (reduction mammoplasty): Breast reduction surgery aims to reduce the size and weight of overly large breasts. It reduces physical discomfort and improves the proportion of the breasts in relation to the body. This procedure can address issues such as back pain, neck pain, and skin irritation caused by large, heavy breasts.

Breast lift (mastopexy): The breast lift procedure is designed to raise and reshape sagging breasts. It removes excess skin and tightens the surrounding breast tissue. This surgery can help restore a more youthful, firmer appearance to the breasts. People often prefer to have this type of surgery after significant weight loss, pregnancy, or as a result of aging.

Each of these breast surgery types has its own unique techniques, procedures, and recovery processes. It is essential to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon. In order to discuss your goals, concerns, and expectations and to determine the most appropriate surgical approach for your case.
