Breast enlargement surgery, commonly known as Breast augmentation or augmentation
mammoplasty helps to change the shape and size of the breast. The operation
enlarges the size of the breast permanently and subsequently the breasts
do not diminish in size and become small again.
This can also be done
to enlarge an under developed breast or a breast that has become small
after child birth. The size of the breast can be increased depending
on the loose skin of the existing breast.
A silicone gel or saline-filled implant is placed behind the breast tissue
and occasionally the breast muscle. A cut about 2" long is made at the
lower part of the breast or at the areola (dark skin around the existing nipple)
or in the axilla and the implant is introduced through this incision.
This surgery is done either under local anesthesia or general anesthesia and
you can go home the same day as the operation. Subsequent breast feeding
can be done after breast augmentation.
There are no side-effects of breast
enlargement surgery and the personal life and confidence of you gets
a big boost after the procedure.

LIFT OR MASTOPEXY OR BREAST TIGHTENING
Breast sag due to age and pregnancy. In breast lift
or mastopexy operation, drooping and sagging breasts
are tightened, recontoured and lifted up, giving them
a younger appearance. Also the nipple and the areola
are located higher to give a younger and normal look.
If necessary, the size of the areola is also reduced
at the same time. The scars following surgery are usually
faded well with time and become barely visible in most
patients. There are no side-effects of breast lift
surgery, and the personal life and confidence of you gets a big boost after the procedure. Breast
feeding can be done normally after the mastopexy.
The mastopexy or breast lift operation is done under
general or local anesthesia. It takes approximately
2 hours to lift each breast. A silicone implant can
be placed at some time to enlarge the breast. you
usually goes home the same day after the operation.

This surgery is done under general anesthesia and
requires 1 or 2 days hospital stay.
CORRECTION
OF UNEVEN BREASTS
According to the desire of you and if tissues permit, either the small
breast can be made larger, or the larger one can be made smaller. There
are times when a combination of surgeries may have to be done, like enlargement
of one side and simple lift (Mastopexy) or reduction of the other.

RECONSTRUCTION ( AFTER MASTECTOMY )
Women who have had their breast removed (one or both ) due to illness
(
usually breast cancer ) can have their configuration
reconstituted by this procedure.

used to form the breast. The nipple and areola can also be reconstructed
to let the women regain her natural appearance and confidence.

CORRECTION OF ENLARGED MALE BREASTS OR GYNAECOMASTIA View Gallery
In some boys during puberty and adolescence, breasts develop to a notable class="STYLEONE" large
size. This can cause psychological problems and the boys are embarrassed to
take off their clothes in the locker room or in the swimming pool. In some
instances, the breasts also could enlarge during adult life. On very rare occasions,
this can be associated with hormonal problems also.
The problem of enlarged male breast or gynaecomastia
or gynaecomazia can be corrected permanently by a simple
procedure. A cut is made at the edge of the lower half
of the areola and the excess male breast tissue is
removed. Fat tissue is removed by liposuction at the
same time. This procedure is done under local or general
anesthesia, and you can go home a few hours
after the operation. The operation has no side-effects
and many young males are extremely relieved after the
correction and feel that they have got a new life.
