Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgery procedure aimed at increasing breast size and enhancing breast shape using implants. This procedure is performed to achieve greater symmetry and improve the breast profile, often undertaken by individuals who feel their breasts are inadequate in size or asymmetrical, or those who have experienced a reduction in breast size following pregnancy or significant weight loss.
Various approaches can be used in breast augmentation, including different incision sites and implant placements, which are tailored to the patient’s goals discussed during the consultation. Choosing a qualified healthcare practitioner is critical to the success of breast augmentation surgery, as their expertise and aesthetic judgement are essential in achieving the desired results. Potential risks include infection, scarring, changes in nipple sensation, and the possibility of implant complications.
Breast Reduction
Breast reduction, or reduction mammaplasty, involves removing excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin to achieve a breast size that is more proportionate to the body. This procedure can also alleviate discomfort associated with overly large breasts, such as back, neck, and shoulder pain.
The specific techniques for breast reduction can vary, with considerations for incision placement, the use of liposuction, and nipple repositioning determined during the consultation. A successful breast reduction can improve physical comfort and enhance the ability to participate in physical activities. Risks associated with this procedure may include scarring, changes in nipple sensation, and infection.
