Breast Surgery a wide range of options
There are three basic types of breast surgery for women: augmentation, reduction and uplift.
- Breast augmentation or enlargement uses implants to even out the sizes of your breasts and make them larger. You'll be able to choose from a palette of options to customize your results.
- Breast reduction - if you've been embarrassed by the size of your breasts - or if you suffer from back aches or chafed areas under your bra straps - breast reduction surgery can bring relief. Again, you'll be offered a variety of choices and we'll explain how the amount of reduction you choose affects scarring from the procedure.
- Breast uplift - if time or childbearing have caused your breasts to sag, breast uplift (Mastopexy) can return them to a more pleasing line. As with breast reduction, the amount of lift affects the amount of scarring.
Help for men as well
Gynaecomastia, a condition in which a man's breast tissue is enlarged, is both common and distressing. Before the advent of male breast reduction surgery it was also permanent. No medication, exercise or diet improves the condition.
- Male breast surgery, however, can correct the problem and let men enjoy activities like swimming and sunbathing. If you're one of the many men who have been embarrassed by enlarged breasts, we can offer you a variety of strategies to end the problem forever.
Thinking it through
Few issues are more personal to a woman than the size and shape of her breasts. You may feel your breasts are too small, too different in size, too large or not as firm and high as they were when you were younger. The problem may have bothered you since your breasts developed - or it may have arisen with the birth of your children or the passing of time.
If you've ever considered surgery to correct the size or shape of your breasts, you'll be pleased to know that in recent years breast surgery has evolved considerably. Today there is less discomfort, recovery is shorter and results are more natural than ever before. However, for a variety of reasons, choosing breast surgery still requires a good deal of thought and discussion.
It's important to recognize that choosing to have breast surgery is your decision. It should never be made simply to please another person. It's also good to remember that while breast surgery offers you a number of options that can be customized to your wishes, it can only change your breasts, not your life.
