Cosmetic breast surgery
Breast enhancement or augmentation is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic procedures in the United States today. It can dramatically improve the appearance of a woman's breasts. The enhancement procedure is used to enlarge small breasts, underdeveloped breasts, or breasts that have decreased in size after a woman has had children.
For many women, the size, shape, or contour of their breasts do not fit their self image. A remarkable procedure called a breast lift or mastopexy is designed to elevate and reshape the breast providing a youthful appearance. A breast lift is often performed in conjunction with breast augmentation.
For others, large, sagging or uneven breasts are the source of their dissatisfaction. Some experience pain from the sheer weight of their breasts, while others find their physical activities restricted or have difficulty finding clothes that fit properly. For these women, a breast reduction or reduction mammoplasty may be the solution.
Is breast surgery for you?
During your conference with your surgeon, discuss your goals and expectations of the surgery. Your surgeon will assess the nature of your breasts, your expectations, and explain the probable outcome of your procedure. You may be shown several before and after treatment photographs of patients having similar breasts, and your surgeon will explain the treatment you can expect to receive. Often a mammography (X-Ray) will be required.
The Procedures
Breast augmentation and breast lift are performed on an out-patient basis using a general or local anesthesia. Breast reduction procedures are usually performed on an out-patient basis under general anesthesia. Following your cosmetic breast surgery, you will enjoy a new, more pleasing shape, with more comfortable breasts that are in better proportion to your physique.
