Breast Surgery

Breast surgery is a medical procedure that involves altering the size, shape, or appearance of the breasts. There are several types of breast surgeries, including:

Breast augmentation: This procedure involves the use of implants to increase the size and shape of the breasts. Implants can be filled with saline or silicone gel, and are typically placed under the chest muscles or breast tissue.

Breast reduction: This procedure is used to reduce the size of the breasts by removing excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin. It is often done to alleviate discomfort caused by large breasts, such as back pain, neck pain, and skin irritation.

Breast lift: This procedure is used to raise and reshape sagging breasts. It involves removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple and areola to a higher position.

Breast reconstruction: This procedure is done after a mastectomy to rebuild the breast using implants or tissue from other parts of the body.

Breast implant removal: This procedure is done to remove breast implants, either for medical reasons or personal preference.

Breast surgery can be performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the specific procedure and the patient's needs. Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery, but patients typically need to avoid strenuous activities for several weeks after the procedure. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully to ensure proper healing and minimize the risk of complications.
