Augmentation, Lifting and Reduction of the Breasts

Augmentation

Breast augmentation (augmentation mammoplasty) is one of the most requested procedures since breasts are an important part of femininity. It is a relatively easy and fast procedure, with a fast recovery. Besides, our patients feel more attractive because it gives balance to the body shape. Cohesive gel implants are used, since they are safer and last longer.

There are two types of implants locations: sub muscular and sub glandular. In order to determine which is the most adequate for the patient, the doctor will have to assess the case.

Lifting

Women’s breasts tend to give up to gravity, whether it is due to their own weight, pregnancy, breast feeding, weight variations or other physical changes. Sagging breasts and flaccidity are almost inevitable, but they are more pronounced in some persons than in others.

For this procedure the doctor will generally remove the excess of skin to correct flaccidity and put the remaining skin in place so that the breasts will look firm.

Breast Reduction

Breast reduction is usually performed in women with neck and back pain. This discomfort is an unfortunate reality for women with really large and heavy breasts. The procedure is very similar to the lifting. However, in these cases, more glandular tissue, fat and skin are removed and the nipple and aureola are placed back in their respective position.
