Breast lift and breast reduction are two cosmetic breast procedures that many women receive. There are many different reasons that women will receive these procedures, but they are most often plausible. The most common reasons include nursing, childbirth, and aging which all cause the breasts to sag over time. This will change the contour and shape of the breast. This fact will lead many women to seek their own breast lift, or mastopexy. The patient will be able to choose from a variety of different mastopexy procedures. The one thing that every technique variation will have in common is that there will be a scar on the breasts as a result. This can be between mildly perceptible and more noticeable. You need to be sure to discuss this and your other concerns about scarring with your plastic surgeon during your pre-surgery consultation. This consultation will include several things. Asking your cosmetic surgeon any questions will be very important. In the consultation your cosmetic surgeon will tell you all about pre and postoperative instructions. He or she will also inform you of what results to expect from your surgery. Also during the consultation, you will more than likely be shown pictures of other patients who have previously received a breast lift. This will provide you with a better idea of what to expect. The decision on this breast reshaping procedure will depend mostly on the extent and type of change that you are looking for. Some women will choose to have a breast lift procedure combined with their breast augmentation to restore their youthful contour and volume at the same time. Plastic surgeons have many different techniques that they can use for reshaping a woman's breasts. Your shape, desired outcome, concerns about scarring, and personal anatomy will be considered by your plastic surgeon. Most of the women that are pictured on the website of a plastic surgeon are real breast lift patients of theirs. You are not guaranteed to have results that match theirs, but the photos are capable of providing you with a realistic idea of what the results of your own breast lift procedure may look like. The other common breast surgery procedure that many women choose to have is breast reduction. Any woman with heavy, large breasts will likely experience physical discomfort in the shoulders, neck, and back. Along with this, large breasts can make some women feel very insecure. These women may avoid fitted clothing or exercise because of the size of their breasts. Breast reduction is capable of combating any of the problems commonly associated with large breasts. Reduction mammoplasty usually requires that the surgeon create an "anchor-shaped" incision on the breast. Excess tissue, skin, and fat will be removed and the breast will be sculpted into a more attractive, smaller shape. The exact technique that is used will depend on your specific goals and anatomy. The breast reduction procedure is one of the most liberating and rewarding procedures available. Many cosmetic surgeons' breast reduction patients will report a very high level of satisfaction with their results.
