Breast Enlargement with Breast Implants

If you are considering breast enlargement, 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 and Lift

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 of reducing the breasts involves three incisions. One incision is made around the areola. Another runs vertically from the bottom edge of the areola to the crease underneath the breast. The third incision follows the natural curve of the crease. After the surgeon has removed excess tissue of the breasts, fat and skin, the nipple and areola are shifted to a higher position. The areola, which in large breasts usually has been stretched, also is reduced in size. Skin that was formerly located above the nipple is brought down and together 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 or Mastopexy is a surgical procedure to raise and reshape sagging breasts. Mastopexy can also reduce the size of the areola. If the breasts are small and have lost volume, implants inserted along with a Mastopexy can increase both firmness and their size. A breast lift can be performed at any age, but one has to wait until development has stopped. Since milk ducts and nipples are left intact, surgery will not affect your ability to breast feed. Breasts that are large and heavy 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. The most common procedure involves an anchor shaped incision across the base of the breast as well as incisions around the areolas and an incision between the areola and the base of the breast. The incision outlines the area from which the breast skin will be removed and defines the new location for the nipple. The nipple and areola are moved to a higher position with the removal of excess skin. The skin surrounding the areola is then brought down to reshape the breast. Maximal correction of the breast shape is possible but at the cost of more scarring. 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.
