Augmentation

Breast augmentation surgery, also known as augmentation mammaplasty, is a procedure in which breast implants are used to increase the size of your breasts or restore breast volume that has been lost after weight loss or pregnancy. Augmentation can increase the fullness or your breasts and improve the balance of your figure. 

Please note that augmentation does not correct drooping or sagging breasts. If a fuller or lifted appearance is desired, a breast lift might be the better option. Breast augmentation and breast lift can also be performed in conjunction in some cases. 

Reconstruction

Breast reconstruction is achieved through several plastic surgery techniques that attempt to restore a breast to near normal shape, appearance and size following mastectomy.

Although breast reconstruction can rebuild your breast, the results are highly variable. A reconstructed breast will not have the same sensation and feel as the breast it replaces. Visible incision lines will always be present on the breast, whether from reconstruction or mastectomy. Certain surgical techniques will leave incision lines at the donor site, commonly located in less exposed areas of the body such as the back, abdomen or buttocks.

If only one breast is affected, it alone may be reconstructed. In addition, a breast lift, breast reduction or breast augmentation may be recommended for the opposite breast to improve symmetry of the size and position of both breasts.

Reduction

Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammaplasty, removes excess breast fat, glandular tissue and skin to achieve a breast size in proportion with your body and to alleviate the discomfort associated with overly large breasts.

The weight of excess breast tissue can impair your ability to lead an active life. The emotional discomfort and self-consciousness often associated with having large pendulous breasts is as important an issue to many women as the physical discomfort and pain.
