Breast surgeries are performed in cases of extreme severity because most of the diseases formed in the breast cells are serious in nature. This can be normally divided into the following categories:
1. Breast Reduction - Heavy and large breasts can make a person uncomfortable in daily situations. This might be a superficial reason to get a surgery but heavy breasts can give rise to back and neck pain, skin irritation, weakness or numbness. The surgery of breast reduction is also termed as reduction mammoplasty.
The doctors perform this surgery by removing the extra amount of fat, skin and glandular tissue. The best part about this surgery is that it is free from side-effects and the milk production and the nipple-areola sensation are not lost. However, there is going to be signs of scarring extensively and the lumpiness of breasts might make it impossible to breastfeed.
2. Breast Augmentation - Augmentation mammoplasty or breast augmentation is desired by women who want to increase the size of the breasts. After lactation and pregnancy, many lose the normal size and wish to get the symmetry back. This implant is done at the lower part of the pectoralis chest muscle and the incision is placed in the areola and axilla.
An implant is basically a silicone shell injected with saline water or silicone gel. However, there are risks of breast cancer associated with breast augmentation and the heavy compression might lead to implant rupture.
3. Breast Reconstruction - This is done to match to an individual’s desired results. The volume and contour can be changed, the nipple-areola component can be recreated, even milk ducts can be removed as well. Breasts can be reshaped from a woman’s own tissue.
