There are many different reasons to seek cosmetic surgery, but one of the most common procedures is Breast Surgery in Wichita. There are four primary types of breast surgery including lift, reduction, augmentation and reconstruction. The type of surgery requested is dependent on the woman’s individual needs, such as back problems, a reconstruction following a mastectomy or asymmetry issues. A breast reduction is a common procedure for women who have large and heavy breasts.
A reduction may be beneficial to help relieve shoulder, neck and back pain. A breast reduction can also help return a feeling of firmness to the breasts as well as provide lift, which can be beneficial for self-esteem and confidence. A breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, is beneficial for women who have sagging breast or breasts that have lost shape and tone, which is common due to aging, weight loss and breastfeeding. A mastopexy involves removing excess tissue and stretching the skin taut in order to create a lifted, firmer shape. Augmentation, also known as mammaplasty, is the most common type of breast surgery. Augmentation is a procedure to enlarge the size of the breasts with the use of implants. Implants are made with one of two fillings, saline or silicone gel. The implants are placed under the breast tissue to increase the bust size. Augmentation surgery can be beneficial for correcting a variety of problems, such as underdeveloped breasts or asymmetrical breasts as well as help to improve self-confidence and self-esteem.
A breast reconstruction surgery is a procedure that is often requested following a mastectomy. The cosmetic surgeon will attempt to restore the breasts to their natural size, shape and appearance, which can also help to restore lost confidence and a lack of self-esteem as well as provide comfort and ease when buying and/or wearing clothing. In many situations, a reconstruction involves the combination of a lift and an augmentation. The number of procedures as well as type of procedure varies depending on the needs of each individual. If you are considering breast surgery, it important to contact a qualified cosmetic surgeon to schedule a consultation. During your consultation, the doctor will provide you with valuable information regarding the type of surgery best suited for your needs, the surgery process and recovery time.
