BREAST AUGMENTATION During a breast enlargment, also called a Breast Augmentation, the surgeon inserts an implant filled with saline (salt) solution to improve the contour and increase the size of the breast. Personal preferance and desired physique are used to determine the size of implant used. BREAST REDUCTION Breast Reduction, also called Reduction Mammaplasty, is designed to relieve the physical discomfort often associated with very large breasts and enhance the over-all appearance of your breasts. The procedure removes excess breast tissue and skin, making your breasts smaller and firmer. The areola (The pigmented skin surrounding the nipple) may be reduced and repositioned. Individual factors and person preference will determine the specific technique selected to reduce the size of your breasts. There are many variations to the design of the incisions for breast reduction. The size and shape as well as the desired amount of reduction, are factors that will help your plastic surgeon determine the best technique for you. BREAST LIFT Breast lift, or Mastopexy, is a surgical procedure to raise and reshape sagging breasts. If your breasts are small or have lost volume – for example, after pregnancy – breast implants inserted in conjunction with mastopexy can increase both firmness and size. The surgery for mastopexy usually takes 1˝ to 3 hours. Techniques vary, but the most common procedure introduces an anchor–shaped incision following the natural contour of the breast. The incision outlines the area from which breast skin will be removed and define the new location of the nipple. Your satisfaction with a breast lift is likely to be greater if you understand the procedure thoroughly and if your expectations are realistic.
