“Mamoplasty” is a term that generally refers to surgical procedures involving the breasts. The term is often used broadly and can encompass various types of cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries performed on the breasts. Two common types of mamoplasty are mastopexy and augmentation mamoplasty:
Mastopexy (Breast Lift):
Definition: Mastopexy is a surgical procedure focused on lifting and reshaping sagging breasts.
Procedure: Excess skin is removed, breast tissue is reshaped, and the nipple-areola complex is repositioned to a higher, more youthful position.
Purpose: Mastopexy is often chosen by individuals who experience sagging due to factors such as aging, pregnancy, or weight loss.
Augmentation Mamoplasty (Breast Augmentation):
Definition: Augmentation mamoplasty involves enhancing the size and shape of the breasts using implants.
Procedure: Silicone or saline implants are inserted into the breast tissue or beneath the chest muscle to achieve the desired volume.
Purpose: This procedure is chosen by individuals seeking increased breast size, improved symmetry, or reconstruction after mastectomy.
The term “mamoplasty” is a general descriptor for procedures related to the breasts and does not specify the type of surgery being performed. Depending on the context, it may refer to a specific breast surgery or be used as a general term for breast-related procedures.
It’s important for individuals considering mamoplasty to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can provide detailed information about the specific procedures, potential risks, benefits, and expected outcomes based on individual needs and goals.
