If you haven’t had personal experience with breast augmentation procedures, it’s likely that your perception of them has been shaped by TV, movies, and other forms of media. These media presentations are largely flawed, distorted, and a disservice to the real patients who have had their lives improved through these services. In today’s post, we are going to unpack some of the most common breast augmentation procedures — breast enlargement, reduction, and mastopexy — and how they can improve the lives of patients everywhere.

Breast Enlargement

Breast enlargement is the most common, and most widely known, breast augmentation procedure. For starters, it’s important to state that no two cases are the same, and you should always consult with your physician and a highly qualified plastic surgeon before considering any medical procedure, cosmetic or otherwise. That being said, breast enlargement can be, and has been, a life-changing surgery for women all over the world. Some of the most common reasons that patients seek out breast enlargement include:

• Enhancing their appearance
• Improving self confidence by getting closer to their ideal body image
• Achieving symmetry in breast size, in cases where one breast is smaller than the other
• Enlarging breasts that have reduced in size after a pregnancy
• And more

Breast enlargement — like all breast augmentation procedures — is a personal decision that must be made by the patient. If you are compelled to explore this option for yourself,  you don’t need to justify your reasons to anyone — you just need to meet with a knowledgeable plastic surgeon to discuss whether you are a good candidate for the procedure.

 

Breast Reduction Procedures

For women with especially large breasts, reduction procedures can have an immense impact on their quality of life. Constantly supporting the excessive weight of large breasts can cause debilitating back and neck pain that only gets worse over time. The stress that this puts on women’s bodies can lead to serious health problems, like breathing issues, skeletal deformities, and more. What’s more, as a woman’s body ages, these stressors can become serious impairments that can keep them from leading an active lifestyle.

Health problems aside, breast reduction can be a very helpful procedure for any woman who is made to feel uncomfortable or self-conscious due to the size of their breasts. When you work with a compassionate and experienced plastic surgeon, this breast augmentation procedure can safely reduce the size of a woman’s breasts, leaving them lighter, firmer, and proportional to the rest of the patient’s body.

Mastopexy Procedures (Breast Lifts)

Many women experience a loss of confidence as their breasts begin to sag, usually as a result of aging or pregnancy. Mastopexy procedures, commonly known as “breast lifts,” are a safe and effective way for women to give their breasts a rounder, firmer appearance. To accomplish this, this procedure involves removing excess skin, reshaping the breast tissues, and elevating the nipple and areola into a natural-looking, forward position. All in all, a breast lift helps the patient achieve more youthful proportions and gives them a natural, feminine appearance.

Mastopexy procedures aren’t just for breasts that are sagging due to aging and pregnancy, they are also a common solution for women who have undergone cancer treatments and other procedures that have affected the look and feel of their breasts.
