Breast Procedures
Breast augmentation
Breast augmentation involves the enhancement of breast size and shape through the insertion of implants or fat grafting. It is sought after for various reasons, including a desire for increased self-confidence, a restored breast appearance after pregnancy or weight loss, or addressing asymmetry.
Breast implants are medical devices used in cosmetic or reconstructive surgery to enhance or restore breast volume. Typically made of silicone gel or saline solution, these implants are inserted either beneath the chest muscles or directly behind the breast tissue. Silicone implants offer a natural feel and are often chosen for their realistic appearance, while saline implants are filled with sterile salt water and may be adjustable. The choice between these types depends on individual preferences and considerations.
breast lift or mastopexy
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a cosmetic surgery aimed at reshaping and lifting sagging breasts to achieve a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. This procedure addresses factors such as gravity, aging, and pregnancy that can lead to breast ptosis (drooping). During a breast lift, excess skin is removed, and the remaining breast tissue is tightened to create a firmer, elevated contour. This surgery is an effective option for individuals seeking to restore the natural position and firmness of their breasts, enhancing both aesthetic appeal and self-confidence.
Augmentation mastopexy
Augmentation mastopexy, often referred to as a breast lift with implants, combines the benefits of breast augmentation and breast lift in a single surgical procedure. This approach is suitable for individuals looking to not only lift and reshape their breasts but also enhance their size. Augmentation mastopexy involves the removal of excess skin, lifting of breast tissue, and the placement of implants to achieve a fuller and more elevated bustline. This combination procedure is tailored to address both volume loss and sagging, offering a comprehensive solution to enhance breast aesthetics and symmetry. It’s essential for individuals considering augmentation mastopexy to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to determine the most suitable approach based on their specific goals and anatomy.
