It is, along with liposculpture, the most widely performed cosmetic plastic surgery in the world.
The level of satisfaction is over 96 per cent, and the impact of this surgery on women’s lives is so strong that 97 per cent would return for another operation if necessary.

It is defined as the remodelling of breast shape and volume through the fitting of breast implants.

It is very common in young women whose breasts have not developed naturally, or after childbirth, when there can be significant involution of the breast tissue … with changes in shape and volume.

Breast augmentation is a surgery with a very high success rate and a huge impact on the lives of the women who undergo it. That’s why tens of millions of women undergo this surgery on every continent.

Large breasts often cause serious psychological and/or physical discomfort and prevent these women from leading a normal life. Breast reductions can be mild to moderate (up to 500 grams per breast), severe (more than 500 grams per breast), and gigantomastia when more than 1000-1500 grams per breast are removed.

The psychological aspects of macromastia (exaggerated breast volume) can be devastating and are characterised by:
– Shame.
– Lack of physical attractiveness.
– Profound loss of self-confidence and femininity.

At very young ages (adolescence and young women), they can decisively condition the psycho-motor development of these people.

There are many physical problems attributable to excess breast volume:
– Neck, shoulder and back pain.
– Breast pain.
– Maceration and infection in the inframammary fold.
– Neurological sequelae due to overloading the cervical spine.
– Sedentary lifestyle.

Because of all the physical and/or psychological consequences it causes, surgery is essential for improving the quality of life of these women.

I believe that major breast reductions are surgeries that improve quality of life, such is their impact on the day-to-day lives of these women.
We use the appropriate techniques for each case in order to obtain the best results with the least possible after-effects, particularly the most reliable techniques for maintaining breast sensitivity.

Since ancient times, the shape of the breasts has been idealised and immortalised in paintings, sculptures and poetry… In this ideal of beauty, which changes depending on the era and civilisation, we have a common denominator – an attractive “breast” is not ptotic or saggy.

This surgery aims to restore a youthful breast shape, where the breasts are not sagging. In the same surgery, if it is necessary to add volume, we use breast prostheses, and we call the surgery mastopexy with prostheses. If no more breast volume is needed, it is called mastopexy without prostheses.

Mastopexy is a very common surgery, since maternity, weight or hormonal changes, gravity, sagging breast tissue and/or skin …. etc, often cause ptosis or drooping of the breasts …. often also associated with changes in breast volume. Surgical techniques have evolved in order to restore breast beauty with as few scars as possible.

It’s an asymmetry or malformation, apparent from puberty onwards.
Young women who suffer from this disease feel they have “abnormal”, “strange” or “unsightly” breasts, causing severe discomfort and loss of self-esteem.

These young women systematically avoid any social activity that has any breast exposure.
The alterations have varying degrees of severity, often with asymmetry of the breasts and are characterised by:
– Areolar herniation of the breast tissue, usually with a large increase in the diameter of the areolas.
– Reduction in breast volume.
– Abnormal elevation of the inframammary fold.
– Tightening or constriction of the breast base.
– Retraction of the breast skin.

Tuberous Breasts are a serious deformity of breast volume and shape.
Their correction requires complex surgery to restore a normal, youthful breast shape.
It is very important for the parents of these young women to know that the deformity does not improve over the years …. and they should seek the help of a plastic surgeon.
