Aesthetic treatments for enlargement, reduction and reshaping of the breast Breast corrections have been part of the standard repertoire of plastic surgeons for many years. Breast augmentation in particular is performed very frequently in Germany, but breast lift is also widely used. Most breast operations are performed on women and are aimed at enlarging, reducing, firming or giving a new shape to the female breast. Since the tissue of the female breast can be affected, especially by pregnancy and breastfeeding, this results in a change in shape and size. Severe weight loss can also have similar consequences. Surgical correction of the breasts can help restore the breasts to their original shape, giving self-confidence and a sense of well-being.
Breast surgery to enlarge and lift the breasts
Breast surgery offers several procedures to tighten and enlarge the breasts. The best known is breast augmentation with implants. With the help of silicone implants placed in the breast, the breasts can be enlarged. In addition, the implants can give it a new shape. Another method of volume enhancement is breast augmentation with the patient's own fat injections. Beforehand, during liposuction, the extracted fat tissue is prepared and then injected into the breasts. The advantage of the autologous fat treatment is a particularly natural padding of the breasts. If the breasts have lost their shape and sag due to pregnancy and breastfeeding, weight loss or the aging process, a breast lift can provide relief. This type of breast surgery aims to tighten and lift the breasts, remove excess skin and give the breasts a new shape. The use of implants to add volume is also possible during a breast lift. Breast surgery to reduce the size of the breasts in women and in men Breast reduction can also be performed surgically. Women with very large breasts often suffer from back and neck pain and have limited range of motion. Surgical breast reduction can provide relief by removing breast tissue, thus reducing the volume and weight of the breast. Relief from physical discomfort is the result. It may also be desirable to reduce the breasts in men. If there is a so-called gynecomastia, an enlarged mammary gland in men, corrective breast surgery can help. In the form of suction or surgical removal of the glandular body, the breast is reduced in size and given the shape of a normal male breast.
