Breast Augmentation Procedures
.: Breast Reduction
Women with very large, pendulous breasts may experience
a variety of medical problems caused by the excessive
weight. Such problems may include back and neck pain,
skin irritation, skeletal deformities, and breathing problems.
Bra straps may leave indentations in their shoulders.
Unusually large breasts can make a woman or teenage girl
feel extremely self-conscious. Breast reduction, also
known as reduction mammoplasty, is designed specifically
for these particular women. This procedure consists of
removing fat, glandular tissue, and skin from breasts.
These techniques make the breast smaller, lighter, and
firmer. This procedure can also reduce the size of the
areola, the dark skin around the nipple. The ultimate
goal of the surgery is to obtain smaller, lighter, firmer
breasts that are proportional to the woman’s body
shape and size.
.: Breast
Lift
Over the years factors such as pregnancy, nursing, and
the force of gravity take their toll on a woman’s
breasts. In addition, the breasts lose their natural
elasticity, which in turn causes them to lose their
shape and firmness. Breast lift, also known as mastopexy,
is a surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape
sagging breasts as to obtain a more youthful appearance.
Mastopexy can also reduce the size of the areola, the
dark skin around the nipple. If your breasts are small
and have lost volume, the insertion of breast implants
along with a mastopexy can increase both their size
and firmness.
.: Breast Augmentation
If you often wish that your breasts were larger, fuller,
or more shapely, breast augmentation surgery may be
the right choice for you. Augmentation mammoplasty is
typically performed to enlarge small breasts, underdeveloped
breasts or breasts that have decreased in size after
a woman has had children. It is accomplished by surgically
inserting an implant behind each breast. The implant
itself can be placed just under the breast tissue or
underneath the pectoral muscles.
.: Breast Reduction In Men
More formerly known as Gynecomastia (coming from the
Greek words meaning “woman-like-breasts”).
This is actually quite common. Gynecomastia affects
an estimated 40 to 60 percent of men. It may only effect
one breast or both. Though certain drugs and medical
problems have been associated with breast development,
there is no known cause for the majority of cases. This
procedure removes fat and or glandular tissue from the
breasts, and in extreme cases the removal of excess
skin. The final result is a flatter, firmer, and better-contoured
chest.
