Breast augmentation surgery increases the size and enhances the shape and projection of the breasts by placing a silicone or saline breast implant.
There are many ways to augment or enlarge the breasts. By far the most common way is to place silicone or saline breast implants (breast implantation, breast augmentation.) However, fat can be transferred from other areas, such as the waist or abdomen, to the breasts for breast enlargement or breast augmentation.
The medical term for a breast lift or breast uplift surgery is Mastopexy. As women age, the ligaments that hold up the breast begin to stretch and the breast sags. Also changes such as pregnancy or large amounts of weight loss can lead to drooping breasts. Medically the breasts are not considered to be drooping unless the position of the nipple is at or below the level of the inframammary fold.
This category of surgery encompasses a large segment of breast surgery. Some patients are born with certain breast irregularities or deformities, other patients have had previous surgeries with less than optimal results. Sometimes there are issues that develop after a perfectly performed breast surgery such as capsular contracture (excessive scar tissue forming around the breast) that will later need correction.
While breasts are often seen as a primary characteristic of physical attractiveness, women often seek a breast reduction when they want to decrease the size of the breast or reduce physical pain. Large and sagging breasts often cause back and shoulder aches.
The minor nipple lift, which is also called a crescent breast lift, has been around for some time. However, multiple board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Lane Smith has improved upon this concept and minor mastopexy technique. This mastopexy technique is a small or minor type of breast lift that can be done to help give additional lift to the breast or help with minor problems such as uneven nipples or other breast asymmetries.
An inverted nipple (also known as a retracted nipple) is a nipple that does not protrude from the breast mound or the areola.
The breasts have always been a signifier of beauty and femininity. Because they are one of the most visible and obvious physical characteristics that separate males from females, breasts frequently play a large role in a woman’s self-esteem. If a woman is unhappy with her breasts—whether due to size, shape, location, or a number of other factors—she may lack self-confidence or feel embarrassed by her appearance.
