Breast plastic surgery

The beauty of the female breast is now practically cultivated, so plastic is one of the most sought-after cosmetic surgeries today. Breast plastic surgery is a surgical correction of the shape and size of the mammary glands. This procedure often solves not only aesthetic problems, but also psychological, as well as problems of personal self-realization.

Breast lift (mastopexy)

Sagging of the mammary glands is a natural process that a woman's breasts are subject to throughout her life. The presence of mammary gland ptosis is usually spoken of in cases where the level of the nipple drops below the level of the inframammary fold.

Complications after reduction mammoplasty

Reduction mammoplasty is a fairly extensive surgical procedure, during which large areas of tissue are sometimes removed, and the total area of wound surfaces can also be significant.

Surgery for gynecomastia

In cases of extremely pronounced hypertrophy of the mammary glands, the safest and most reliable operation is reduction mammoplasty with free transplantation of the nipple and areola, similar to a full-layer skin flap.

Surgery for severe breast hypertrophy

In cases of severe hypertrophy of the mammary glands, only 500 to 1200 g of tissue are resected. In this case, good results are achieved by using surgical techniques with the formation of a lower tissue pedicle.

Surgery for mild to moderate breast hypertrophy

In case of minor and moderate degrees of hypertrophy of the mammary glands, the choice of surgical technique for their reduction must be made taking into account not only the volume of the glands, but also the degree of their ptosis.
