Breast Enhancement & Enlargement

The reasons for having breast enhancement are numerous and varied. Some women feel that their breast size is too small for their body contours, while others may be seeking to turn the clock back on the effects of age and gravity. A lack of symmetry and living with the discomfort of ill-fitting clothing that comes as a result; lost volume due to weight loss or pregnancy; coping with missing or misshapen breasts as a result of trauma or disease (such as cancer); any of these reasons and more may prompt a woman to seek surgical enhancement of her breasts.

If you are considering breast enlargement or enhancement, be prepared to spend time with the plastic surgeon you choose to review breast implant possibilities. One of the first steps is in the many measurements that go into selecting the right breast implant. Sagging, Asymmetry, Width, Nipple Size and Shape, Cleavage and several other determining factors are all taken into consideration. Plastic surgeons take many precautions through measurements to ensure that the appropriate breast implant is selected. Today, there are many types of breast implants for women to select from. These implants are designed with consideration for different chest wall sizes as well. There are many width sizes of breast implants to choose from and varying projection profiles to select from. Breast doctors take much time to calculate precise measurements and custom fit the right breast implants for their patients. Continue reading about enhancement surgery.

Breast Reduction

Patients who undergo breast reduction surgery frequently are seeking relief from physical symptoms caused by the excessive weight of large breasts. Breast reduction usually can solve these problems as well as improve the size and shape of your breasts. Breast reduction can be performed at any age, but plastic surgeons usually recommend waiting until breast development has stopped. The most common method for breast reduction surgery involves three incisions. One incision is made around the areola while another incision runs vertically down from the bottom of the areola ( edge ) to underneath the breast crease. The third incision follows the natural curve of the crease. The nipple and areola are shifted to a higher position after the plastic surgeon has removed excess tissue of the skin, breasts and fat. In large breasts the areola usually has stretched which can be repaired and reduced in size with surgery. Skin that was located above the nipple is brought down to reshape the breasts. Usually, the nipples and areolas remain attached to underlying mounds of tissue, and this allows for the preservation of sensation. A breast lift is often included during reduction surgery.

Breast Lift

A breast lift raises and reshapes sagging breasts. A breast lift can also reduce the areola size. If the breasts have lost volume and are small, breast implants can be inserted along with a lift to increase both firmness and size. At any age a breast lift can be performed. but one has to wait until development of the breasts has stopped. A breast lift should not affect your ability to breast feed since milk ducts and nipples are left intact. Breasts heavy and large can be lifted, but the results may not be as long lasting as it is done on smaller breasts.

A breast lift usually takes one and half to three and half hours. An anchor shaped incision is the most common procedure. It involves an anchor shaped incision across the base of the breast and around the areolas and an incision between the areola and the base of the breast. In defining the new position of the nipple the incision outlines the area from which the breast skin will be removed. The areola and nipple are moved to a higher position. To reshape the breast the skin surrounding the areola is pulled down. View breast lift photos and find our for yourself if a breast lift is for you.

Breast Reconstruction

Breast reconstruction is the rebuilding of a breast that has been removed due to cancer or other diseases. Reconstruction surgery involves the use of implants or relocated flaps of the patients own tissue to create a natural looking breast and reformation of a natural looking areola and nipple. The reconstruction is possible immediately following breast removal. In individuals with medical problems like high blood pressure, obesity, and diabetes the surgery is delayed as they are considered high risk candidates. Breast reconstruction usually takes multiple operations, which are spread out over weeks or months. Learn more about breast reconstruction.
