Surgery of the breast is
performed to enhance the size or shape of the breast for cosmetic,
medical or reconstructive reasons.
Breast
Augmentation
(Augmentation
Mammoplasty)
Breast augmentation is
a very
popular procedure for women and among the most commonly performed
cosmetic surgery procedures. A saline-filled implant is inserted under
the crease in the breast, around the nipple or through the armpit.
The implant can be placed under the breast tissue or beneath the chest
wall muscle. After surgery, breasts will appear "fuller"
and more shapely in contour. Incision scars usually will fade or disappear over
time. In certain instances, silicone
implants can safely be used and may be more available in the future.

Breast
Lift
(Mastopexy)
Over time, the effects of
gravity along with the loss of the skin's natural elasticity begins to
have an effect on the appearance of a woman's breasts.
These
factors, combined with pregnancies and nursing will often cause the
breasts to lose their youthful shape and firmness.
A
breastlift, or
mastopexy, is a surgical
procedure to raise and reshape sagging breasts. The procedure can
also reduce the size of the areola (the darker skin surrounding the
nipple). Breast implants inserted in conjunction with a mastopexy
procedure can increase both firmness and size.

Breast
Reduction
(Reduction
Mammoplasty)
Large, pendulous breasts may
cause a woman to potentially experience various medical problems
caused by the excessive weight of the breast tissue. Problems with
posture, skeletal deformities, back and neck pain, skin irritations and
breathing problems are common with this condition. Bra straps
often leave indentations in the shoulder area. Many women,
especially teenage girls, are very self-conscious if they have unusually
large breasts.
Breast reduction (reduction
mammoplasty) removes fat, glandular tissue,
and excessive skin, resulting in smaller, lighter and firmer breasts that
are better-shaped in proportion to rest of the body. In many
circumstances, health insurance may cover the full cost of this
procedure.

Breast
Reconstruction
Reconstruction of the breast
after a mastectomy due to cancer or another disease is very common
with today's surgical procedures. Using the newest medical
techniques, your doctor is often able to create a breast that is similar
in form and appearance to that of the natural breast. In certain
circumstances, surgery may be required in stages. Health insurance
usually covers all the necessary procedures, including surgery to the
opposite breast to create symmetry.

Although rarely
discussed, enlarged male breasts is a common condition. There is
frequently no known cause for gynecomastia, although there is
sometimes a correlation with
various drugs or medical conditions.
Men who feel
self-conscious about their appearance are helped with breast-reduction
surgery. The procedure removes fat and/or glandular tissue from the
breasts, and in extreme cases removes excess skin, resulting in a
contoured chest that is flatter and firmer. In certain limited
circumstances, health insurance may cover some of the cost of this
procedure
