WHAT IS COSMETIC BREAST SURGERY?
Breast surgery is a treatment that modifies your breasts. There are a variety of reasons why breast surgery is done and there are different types of breast surgeries, each of which serves a specific purpose. Your options for cosmetic breast surgery include procedures to enhance, reduce, rejuvenate, or modify the appearance of the breasts, or make them look more youthful. By lifting, contouring, and reshaping the breasts, these procedures can help you sculpt your desired body shape. Though they are usually chosen for cosmetic reasons, sometimes a breast procedure may be done for medical reasons as well.
There are many factors to consider when choosing the right breast surgery. It may involve a combination of breast surgeries, depending on individual goals and concerns. When you are considering a change to your breasts, it’s essential to be aware of all of the options available for you. Understanding each type of breast surgery can help you select the procedure that helps you achieve your aesthetic goals.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF BREAST SURGERIES?
BREAST AUGMENTATION
Breast augmentation, also called breast enlargement or augmentation mammoplasty, is the most common type of breast surgery and most women choose it for cosmetic reasons. This procedure is designed to increase the size of the breasts but may also have other benefits such as enhancing cleavage, volume, and the contours and shape of the breasts. Patients often request this type of breast surgery to replace volume that has been lost due to aging, weight loss, or pregnancy. Breast implants are typically used for breast surgery, but fat transfer breast augmentation is another option to consider for increasing your bust size or enhancing the appearance of the breasts. Your body’s natural breast shape will affect the outcome of a breast augmentation surgery.
BREAST LIFT
Enhancing the breasts isn’t just about altering their size. Various breast surgery techniques can be used to sculpt an attractive and proportionate breast shape. The breast lift procedure, also known as a mastopexy, restores a firmer, perkier, and more aesthetically pleasing appearance to the breasts. This breast surgery can create more youthful and feminine-looking proportions. Breasts lifts can also make bras and swimsuits fit more attractively.
BREAST REDUCTION
Overly large breasts can make it difficult to perform routine activities or find clothes that fit properly and cause physical discomfort. Breast reduction or reduction mammoplasty is a type of breast surgery that creates a smaller, more proportionate breast size for patients who have overly large breasts. In addition to some tissue and skin being removed, the breasts are also elevated and reshaped at the same time. This type of breast surgery can improve a patient’s quality of life in many ways. In addition to enhancing your appearance, this surgery can help to alleviate back pain, neck pain, and other forms of discomfort associated with overly large breasts.
MOMMY MAKEOVER
A Mommy Makeover involves a combination of plastic surgery procedures designed to restore your pre-baby appearance by addressing areas that are most heavily affected by pregnancy such as the breasts and abdomen. Some type of procedure to enhance or restore the breasts is usually combined with a tummy tuck, liposuction, and sometimes other procedures as well.
WHY DO PEOPLE DECIDE TO HAVE COSMETIC PROCEDURES FOR THE BREASTS?
There are many reasons why individuals decide to undergo plastic surgery to enhance the breasts. Women who have uneven or disproportionate breasts may decide to have breast surgery to improve their appearance. For women whose breast shape and volume have changed significantly after weight loss, pregnancy, or other major life events, cosmetic surgery may be the best way of restoring the breasts. Another reason why people may decide on plastic surgery to improve the breasts is that it can help an individual feel more attractive in their clothes and more confident. Moreover, cosmetic surgery for the breasts can help patients achieve a more youthful appearance.
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR BREAST SURGERY?
If you are in good general health, you’re prepared to follow our guidelines, have fully developed breasts, are not pregnant or breastfeeding, are bothered by the appearance of your breasts, and have realistic expectations of improvement, you might be a good candidate for some type of breast surgery. Patients should decide to have the procedure for themselves rather than for someone else. You should also be able to properly rest and recover after your breast surgery. We also recommend that you are cleared for any allergies to materials used in breast surgery if you are having breast implants. Whether or not you would be an ideal candidate for this type of surgery also depends on your aesthetic goals.
You will have to meet certain criteria to be a candidate for each specific type of breast surgery. For example, women who are dissatisfied with the size, shape, and firmness of their breasts, or simply want larger breasts may be ideal candidates for breast augmentation. Individuals who are non-smokers and at a stable weight with sagging, flattened, or elongated breasts tend to be good breast lift candidates.
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO BEFORE BREAST SURGERY?
You will need to have a consultation before any type of breast surgery procedure. During your consultation, we will help you determine whether you’re a good candidate. We will work with you to find the procedure that is best suited to you and your goals, as there is no one size fits all surgery for the breasts. We may recommend that you adjust your medications, avoid smoking or using any kind of nicotine, and avoid blood thinners or other medications that can interfere with bleeding. You can tell us more about what size you would like your breasts to be.
OTHER COSMETIC SURGERY OPTIONS
Cosmetic Surgery Institute also provides other options to enhance your silhouette and appearance including several body surgery procedures. Though often combined with breast surgery for a Mommy Makeover, a tummy tuck and liposuction can also be done separately. Liposuction can be applied to almost any area of the body where there is pinchable excess subcutaneous fat. A Brazilian butt lift is a popular choice for patients who would like to achieve a rounder, shapelier buttocks while reducing fat from other body areas with liposuction.
