The size, shape, and proportion of the breasts are important for a woman’s appearance and overall body balance. Factors such as genetics, weight changes, certain diseases, or removal of breast tissue due to cancer can cause the breasts to look uneven or less attractive. Besides appearance, very large breasts can cause health problems like back and spine pain. In such cases, breast surgeries can help restore a healthier and more natural look while protecting physical health.
There are several types of breast surgeries, chosen based on the specific issue and the best way to fix it. The most common procedures include breast enlargement (augmentation), breast reduction, breast lift (mastopexy), and breast reconstruction.
Breast reconstruction surgery is performed after a breast is removed due to cancer or other diseases. It helps restore the breast’s appearance and provides important psychological support to patients. Reconstruction can be done at the same time as the breast removal, so patients wake up with a new breast and avoid the emotional distress of being without one. Thanks to advances in medical technology, reconstructed breasts can look very natural.
A breast lift is done when breasts sag but their size is normal. During the procedure, extra skin is removed, the breast tissue is reshaped, and the nipple is moved to a higher, more youthful position. The size of the dark skin around the nipple (areola) may also be reduced. After surgery, the breasts appear firmer and lifted.
Breast reduction surgery is for women whose breasts are larger than ideal, which can cause physical problems like back pain. This surgery removes excess breast tissue and skin to create a smaller, more comfortable breast size. Causes of large breasts include genetics, weight gain, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. The surgery also helps improve breast shape and symmetry.
Breast implants are used to increase breast size or restore volume lost over time due to aging, weight changes, or after pregnancy. Silicone implants are safe and reliable, providing natural-looking fullness. Many women choose implants because sagging or loss of breast volume can cause insecurity and dissatisfaction with their appearance.
