What Is Mammoplasty?

Mammoplasty refers to cosmetic breast surgery procedures, including:
• Breast augmentation (implants)
• Breast lift (mastopexy)
• Breast reduction

Each procedure is designed to improve breast shape, symmetry, and proportion.

Types of Mammoplasty

Breast Augmentation

Increases breast volume using implants.

Breast Lift

Removes excess skin and repositions breast tissue for a youthful contour.

Breast Reduction

Removes excess tissue to relieve discomfort and improve body balance.

How the Procedure Works

• Performed under general anesthesia
• Typically lasts 1–3 hours
• Return to work in 1–2 weeks
• Full physical activity after about 6 weeks

Emotional & Confidence Impact

Mammoplasty often helps patients:
• Feel more proportionate
• Improve clothing fit
• Correct asymmetry
• Restore volume lost after pregnancy
• Reduce physical discomfort

Many report a significant boost in self-esteem and overall body confidence.
