Cosmetic Breast Surgery
Breast surgery is an umbrella term for several types of cosmetic surgery procedures, including breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, breast reconstruction, and breast implant revision.
Fit into the Clothes You Want Following Breast Surgery
Many patients who are considering breast surgery are unhappy with the fit of their clothes and bras prior to treatment. For those women who are unhappy with the size and shape of their breasts, shopping for clothes can be a stressful and discouraging experience. Finding flattering bras, bathing suits, and tops can be nearly impossible, and some women just want to avoid shopping altogether as a result.
Today, there are a variety of breast surgery options that can improve the appearance of breasts. Small, asymmetric, and misshapen breasts can be treated with the insertion of breast implants. Sagging breasts can benefit from a breast lift. Disproportionately heavy breasts can be treated with breast reduction. Whatever your concerns, there is a breast surgery option available to make your breasts more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing.

Types of Breast Surgery
Breast surgery can be used to modify the breasts in several ways:

Breast Reduction
Breast reduction surgery involves the removal of skin and breast tissue to reduce the size of overly large breasts. In some cases, liposuction is performed at the same time as breast reduction.

Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction surgery uses an implant or muscle/tissue transfer to reconstruct the breast following a mastectomy (removal of the breast in order to treat breast cancer).
Breast Implant Revision
Breast implant revision surgery involves the removal and/or replacement of breast implants.
Breast Surgery Doctors
If you are considering breast surgery, it is very important that you choose a qualified and highly experienced breast surgeon. Breast surgery, especially surgery requiring skin removal, has inherent risks. A surgeon who has performed multiple breast surgeries on different types of patients will have a better idea of what to expect during breast surgery and will be better able to handle an emergency, should one arise.
