All You Need To Know About Breast Surgery

With the rise of cosmetic procedures, breast surgery is gaining popularity in India for various reasons. Also, we are going to delve deep into this article to understand the solutions breast surgeries offer to individuals.

Reasons why someone would need/consider breast surgery:

  • Mastectomies are performed for the prevention of breast cancer
  • It is performed for gender reassignment 
  • Sometimes sagging and loose breasts can also cause discomfort to the individual which can lead to breast lift surgeries
  •  Some women believe their breasts are underdeveloped. Some women seek breast augmentation after their breasts change due to pregnancy. Others want to rectify an asymmetry in their breast size.
  • Breast reduction surgeries are done for physical wellness. Big breasts can also cause significant back pain, neck pain, and bad posture.

Types of breast surgeries: 

1. Augmentation Mammoplasty

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure used to improve the appearance, size, and also contour of a woman's breasts. 

Breast augmentation is done using implants that can be put under or over the chest muscle. The incision might be made in the armpit, the areola (the area around the nipple), or the lower breast fold. Also, all breast augmentation techniques are, usually minimally invasive

 An endoscope (a thin tube with a small camera and light) may be utilized during the procedure for augmentations if the incision is done in the armpit. Breast implants are constructed of a silicone shell that is filled with silicone gel. Trial implants are used by women to establish their ideal size.

2. Breast Reduction surgery

There are numerous techniques for reducing breast size. 

All of them require shifting the nipple-areolar complex (NAC) to its right location (about 19 - 21 cm from the lowest point of the dimple on the throat at its junction with the chest), cutting varied amounts of breast tissue, and also sewing up with as little scar as possible to create a good form.

3. Breast reconstruction surgery

The treatment recreates the ideal appearance, contour, and volume of the breast including nipples and areola. Normal breast sensation and function, as well as feeding, frequently do not recover. 

Breast implants or a woman's own tissue can be used to reproduce the appearance, contour, and also volume of the breast. If an implant is utilized, it is sized to correspond to the opposing breast. The implant is put beneath a chest muscle whenever possible. 

A woman's own tissue can also be used to reconstruct a breast. A section of the lower abdomen wall can be employed at times. Back muscle and skin, as well as fat and muscle from the buttocks, are further choices for autologous (using your own tissue) restoration.

4. Breast lifts

In some women, the skin is not firm enough to hold the weight of the breast, resulting in sagging breasts. Ptosis is a disorder in which there is too much skin in comparison to breast tissue. Also, this excess skin is removed in a breast lift surgery.
