Breast reduction and breast augmentation are two different surgical procedures aimed at altering the size and shape of the breasts.
Breast Reduction
Breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a breast size more in proportion to the body. It can help alleviate physical discomfort, such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, and can also improve posture and overall body image. The procedure typically involves making incisions, reshaping the breast, and repositioning the nipple.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation, or augmentation mammoplasty, is a procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of the breasts using implants or fat transfer. Women may choose this surgery for various reasons, such as increasing breast volume, restoring breast fullness after weight loss or pregnancy, or achieving a more balanced figure. Implants can be filled with saline or silicone, and the choice of implant type and placement varies based on individual preferences and body types.
Both procedures have their own risks, benefits, and considerations, so it’s important for individuals to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to discuss their goals and options.
