Breast enhancements/reductions

Woman's breast and torsoBreast enhancement/breast lift

Breast enhancement is a surgical operation performed to enlarge the breasts for a number of reasons:

  • To enhance the body contour of a woman, who, for personal reasons feels that her breast size is too small.
  • To correct a loss in breast volume after pregnancy.
  • To balance breast size, when there exists a significant difference between the size of the breasts.
  • To restore breast shape after partial or total loss of the breasts from various conditions.
  • To replace existing breast implants for cosmetic or reconstructive reasons.

Breast reconstruction

If you are facing the loss of a breast due to cancer or other disease, you may have the option of breast reconstruction. This surgical procedure recreates the contour of your breast, using either a saline or silicone implant or your own tissue.

Breast reduction

Breast reduction is for the woman who has large breasts and is experiencing a variety of problems from the weight and size of their breasts, such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, and skin irritation.

Male breast reduction

Gynecomastia is a procedure done to remove excess glandular tissue in the male breast. This can be done by excision or by liposuction.
