Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a procedure used to remove excess fat, tissue and skin from the breasts. If you have large breasts, you might choose to have breast reduction surgery to ease discomfort or to achieve a breast size proportionate to your body.
A breast lift — also known as mastopexy — is a surgical procedure performed by a plastic surgeon to change the shape of your breasts. During a breast lift, excess skin is removed and breast tissue is reshaped to raise the breasts.
Breast augmentation — also known as augmentation mammoplasty — is surgery to increase breast size. It involves placing breast implants under breast tissue or chest muscles.
It is a technique in which mammary gland tissue is removed by applying small incisions. Although surgical interventions are performed under general anesthesia, local anesthesia may be preferred in some cases. The patient can be discharged the same day after the surgery. Postoperative patients should use a gynecomastia corset for 2-3 weeks.
