Here are methods of increasing and reducing the size of the breast.

Good evening I am Dr. Sandeep Bhasin from Care well medical center we had in CR Park. So now I am going talk about some common breast surgeries.

In Females, there are two kinds of breast surgeries that are very common one is we may want to increase the size of the breast the other is we want to reduce the size of the breast and lift the breast up if the breast is sagging.

The first kind of surgery in which we want to increase the size of the breast is called Breast Augmentation.There are two methods of doing breast augmentation. We can do breast augmentation by using silicone implants or we can also use the fat grafting. So we are doing both these methods. There are advantages of using implants and there are some advantages of using fat grafting.

The advantages of using silicone implants-

  • It’s a very quick procedure within one and half an hour we can do the whole surgery.
  • The recovery is very fast with the implants.
  • The post-operative the breast shape is really very good.

There are some disadvantages of the implants-

  • It is very expensive
  • In the long run, we have to remove and change the implant after 10-15 years.
  • It’s a form Bowery it is not natural in the body.

There are some Fat grafting's advantages-

  • It is much cheaper to the silicone implants.
  • It is natural we are not using something artificial.
  • The results are very much natural in this because nothing artificial has been used and it also improves the skin texture.

The disadvantages of fat grafting-

  • It takes much longer time about 4-5 hours.
  • The surgeon has to be very experienced.
  • Very few doctors are doing fat grafting because it is a difficult procedure as compared to breast implant and there has to be complete asepsis so that infection does not occur.

These are the few differences between the two procedures.

Coming to Breast reduction and breast lifting there are different methods that are available and what we are doing nowadays is vertical mastopexy or Hall Findlay’s Mastopexy. In this there is a vertical scar, minimal scar and the results are really very good. Not only can we reduce the size of the breast if this breast has become too big. We can also lift the breast up and that is called mastopexy. So this is one method that we are doing and the results are really very good in this. Sometimes we do liposuction also in the breast if we want to reduce the size of the breast. So for reduction, we have got mastopexy, Hall Findlay’s mastopexy or some other mestopexy or we can do liposuction of the breast. These are the common procedures we do for the breast reduction and lifting the breast.
