Breast surgery in plastic surgery typically focuses on altering the size, shape, and appearance of the breasts, and it can be performed for both cosmetic and reconstructive purposes. The most common breast procedures include:
 

• Breast Augmentation (Augmentation Mammoplasty): This cosmetic procedure involves increasing the size of the breasts using implants (silicone or saline) or fat transfer. It is often chosen by individuals   who want larger or more symmetrical breasts or to restore volume lost after pregnancy or weight loss.

• Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammoplasty): Aimed at reducing the size and weight of large breasts, this procedure removes excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin. It is often done to alleviate physical discomfort,   such as back, neck, or shoulder pain, caused by overly large breasts.

• Breast Lift (Mastopexy): This procedure tightens and removes excess skin, reshaping and lifting the breasts to a more youthful position. It is commonly chosen by individuals with sagging or drooping breasts due to   aging, pregnancy, or significant weight loss.

• Breast Reconstruction: Primarily performed after a mastectomy (breast removal due to cancer or other conditions), this surgery aims to rebuild the breast shape using implants or the patient’s own tissue   (autologous reconstruction). It can help restore the breast’s appearance and symmetry after cancer treatment.

• Revision Breast Surgery: This involves correcting or adjusting a previous breast surgery, such as replacing or removing implants, addressing complications like implant rupture, or improving aesthetic results from   earlier procedures.

Each of these procedures can be tailored to the individual’s specific goals and needs, whether for aesthetic enhancement or functional restoration.
