Reshaping your breasts, whether by a lift, an augmentation, or a reduction, can have a powerful effect on your overall self image and confidence. Plastic Surgeons specialize in a number of breast enhancement procedures. Breast Augmentation - is a cosmetic procedure that uses implants to enlarge the shape of the breasts. It is designed to increase the size of small or underdeveloped breasts. Surgery can also restore and enhance your breast volume if it has decreased as a result of having children. This procedure is performed by placing the implant behind the existing breast tissue and/or the pectoral major muscle. The method of inserting your implant will depend on your anatomy and your surgeon's recommendation. The incision can be made either in the crease where the breast meets the chest, around the areola, or in the armpit. Breast augmentation can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence. Breast Lift - raises and recontours loose, sagging breasts. You may decide you would like a breast lift because you have lost volume and tone in your breasts after having children. Another reason for having this procedure is the loss of a significant amount of weight. A breast lift improves the appearance of your breasts in several ways. It elevates your breast tissue, removes excess skin from the lower portion of your breast and the reshapes your remaining breast skin. At the same time it relocates your nipple and areola to a higher position. Breast Reduction - or Reduction Mammoplasty is a procedure to reduce the size of large breasts and create smaller more youthful appearing breasts. Women frequently choose this operation because of back, neck and shoulder aches created by the large size of their breasts. Breast reduction can be performed at any age on a healthy woman, but it is usually recommended to wait until the breasts are fully developed. Some women decide to wait to have the surgery until their childbearing is over since childbirth and breastfeeding can cause unpredictable changes to the breasts and breast-feeding may not be possible after breast reduction surgery. The procedure removes fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the breasts, making them smaller, lighter, and firmer. It can also reduce the size of the areola. The goal is to give a woman smaller, better-shaped breasts in proportion with the rest of her body. Breast Reconstruction - is one of the most rewarding surgical procedures available to women who have had a breast removed due to cancer or other diseases. New medical techniques and devices have made it possible for surgeons to create a breast that can come close in form and appearance to matching a natural breast. Frequently, reconstruction is possible immediately following breast removal (mastectomy), so the patient wakes up with a breast mound already in place.
