Breast operations, also known as breast corrections, include surgical interventions with the aim of changing the shape and usually also the size of the female breast. A distinction is made between breast enlargement (medical breast augmentation), breast lift (medical mastopexy), and breast reduction (medical breast reduction). There is also the nipple correction in which the rest of the breast shape remains unchanged.
The most common breast surgery and cosmetic surgery, in general, is breast augmentation with silicone implants.
Many women suffer from the fact that their breasts do not meet their expectations of a beautifully proportioned body. Since the breast shape is primarily genetic, plastic surgery is often the only way to change it according to your own ideas and thereby develop an improved body feeling and more self-confidence.
Breast Operations: What is breast surgery?
The common breast corrections include not only the well-known breast augmentation with implants but also breast lifts and breast reductions. While breasts that are too small are often a problem, especially for young women, tightening is increasingly popular with older women and women who suffer from sagging breasts after pregnancy. But women with very large breasts also have the opportunity to maintain their dream cleavage thanks to breast reduction and to achieve relief in the event of back pain.
If you want to do without surgical breast correction entirely, you can enlarge your breasts with autologous fat or with stem cells. These methods are considered to be particularly gentle, but the latter is not undisputed.
In addition to all the options, attention should also be paid to the correct décolleté care in order to obtain a holistically attractive breast or décolleté area.
What types of breast correction are there?
A general distinction is made between four types of breast correction: breast enlargement (breast augmentation), breast lift (mastopexy), breast reduction (breast reduction), and nipple correction (nipple correction). Depending on the nature of the breast, the desired result, and the doctor, different methods or incisions can be used.
The breast augmentation
Breast augmentation is the most common breast surgery and the most common surgical procedure in plastic and aesthetic surgery. It is especially suitable for women who are dissatisfied with the size of their breasts. Breast reconstruction is an option for deformed breasts caused by an injury, illness, or mastectomy. This is similar in its process to breast augmentation since implants are also used here. In recent years, breast augmentation with autologous fat has also established itself as an alternative to implants.
Methods of breast enlargement:
- Breast augmentation with implants
- Breast augmentation with autologous fat
The breast lift
A breast lift is particularly suitable for women whose bosom is slack and sagging. This can be a normal sign of old age or it can occur as a result of weak connective tissue, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. This type of breast operation is the most demanding from a surgical point of view and, unlike breast augmentation, can be associated with visible scars. With a breast lift, excess skin tissue is removed through one or more incisions and the nipple is moved upwards. This gives the breast a firmer and more beautiful shape. Depending on the patient and the desired appearance, an implant can also be used for tightening.
The breast reduction
Breast reduction is an option for women who are psychologically stressed due to their large breasts or even have physical complaints such as spinal column and shoulder pain. Due to the excessive weight of the breasts, the back is particularly stressed, the bra straps cut uncomfortably into the skin and the breasts are felt to be a great burden. If these problems occur, it is advisable to have the breast surgically reduced.
The nipple correction
Nipple correction (nipple correction) represents a broad field of treatment in the field of plastic surgery, with the aim of changing the shape or size of nipples and adapting them to the wishes of the patient. As a rule, at least the position of the nipple and areola is changed during tightening.
What are the advantages of breast surgery?
Whether breast enlargement, breast reduction, or breast lift - a breast operation should be well thought out beforehand and discussed intensively with a doctor. If a patient has decided to have a breast operation, it has many positive effects on her life once it has been carried out successfully. Breast operations make many women feel more beautiful and restore their self-confidence. Often the patients gain self-confidence.
Too small, too big, or sagging breasts are often associated with psychological problems. Breast surgery can make the complexes go away. Many women feel good again after the procedure and are satisfied with themselves and their appearance. When reducing the size, the main focus is on alleviating the symptoms. Often these affect the patient's quality of life.
