Breast plastic surgery has gained much popularity in the last few years. There are various reasons why women decide to change their breast appearance; congenital or developmental breast abnormalities, large breasts and physical discomfort, or post-pregnancy body changes.
Over the years breast plastic surgery has developed greatly and today at Beautopia Medical Aesthetics Clinic, they offer transformative procedures to women of all ages and walks of life. These procedures include:
All of these surgeries improve your appearance and increase self-confidence.
Reconstructive breast surgery for cancer patients and survivors is another contributing factor to this increasing group of patients. After a mastectomy, breast reconstruction surgery can restore their confidence and self-image.
At our clinic breast plastic surgery refers to a number of procedures that improve the appearance of the breast area, restore breast appearance or reconstruct breast appearance. There are four common types of breast plastic surgery they offer; breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast lift and breast reconstruction. Before you decide to take full control of your health and wellness, it is nice to know the techniques and purpose of each cosmetic breast surgery.
Breast Augmentation, or augmentation mammoplasty, is a cosmetic breast surgery that uses breast implants or fat transfer to increase breast size and enhance its shape. Many patients decide on this procedure to improve their breast appearance or correct asymmetry in breast size.
Breast Reduction surgery is to remove excess tissue, fat and skin, and then reshape and reduce breast size. It can help relieve women with physical discomfort caused by sagging, large and heavy breasts as well as improve their confidence and overall quality of life.
Breast Lift surgery, or Mastopexy, is to lift sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. It can restore more natural breast shape and our breast surgeons may perform breast lift combined with breast augmentation or breast reduction.
Breast Reconstruction is usually performed in women who have undergone mastectomy as a part of their breast cancer treatment. This procedure uses implants, tissue expanders or the patient’s tissue from another area of the body to restore appearance of the breasts.
Our trained plastic surgeon customizes each procedure to the patient’s needs and goals. It is not an easy decision to make when it comes to breast plastic surgery, so it is good that you consult with your surgeon.
