Breast surgery

Breast surgery, also known as mammoplasty, covers all aesthetic and reconstructive procedures on the breasts. It is used to modify the shape, size, position or support of the breasts. Breast surgery aims to correct imperfections such as breasts that are too small (breast hypotrophy), drooping (breast ptosis), too large (breast hypertrophy, gynecomastia), or asymmetrical. It also includes improving the appearance of the areola (overly large or prominent areolas) and the nipple (invaginated or hypertrophic nipple).

Breast surgery is for anyone wishing to change the aesthetic appearance of their breasts. There are many reasons for undergoing breast surgery. A morphology deemed disharmonious by the patient, aging skin, pregnancy and breast-feeding, accident or illness can all motivate aesthetic breast surgery. These operations bring psychological benefits that significantly improve quality of life and self-image.

At least two pre-operative consultations are necessary to discuss the patient’s wishes and surgical options, and to carry out simulations in order to opt for the most suitable treatment.

Most breast surgery procedures are performed under general anaesthetic. They are performed on an outpatient basis or with an overnight hospital stay, rarely more. Breast surgery after-effects are marked by discomfort for the first few days, and require a rest period of around one week.

Breast augmentation

Breast augmentation is one of the most popular aesthetic procedures. Its aim is to increase the volume of the breasts to make them more attractive. Not only can its size be modified, but also its shape and firmness. This type of breast surgery improves the balance of the figure, while offering a sense of well-being and self-confidence. In most cases, this procedure requires the use of a silicone breast prosthesis. In some cases, it can be performed using autologous fat transfer (lipofilling), or by combining the two procedures in what is known as composite augmentation.

Breast reduction

Breast reduction is a procedure designed to reduce the size of overly large breasts. It not only changes the shape of the breasts, but also their position. In this way, reduction mammoplasty contributes to a more harmonious silhouette. Reducing the weight and volume of the breasts also improves patients’ daily lives and quality of life. By relieving tension and pain in the back and shoulders, they can more easily resume sporting activities.

Breast lift

Breast lifting, also known as mastopexy or mammopexy, is a procedure that lifts and reshapes the breasts. It corrects sagging caused by progressive loss of mammary gland volume and sagging skin. This normal physiological process, known as breast ptosis, is often accelerated by pregnancy and major weight fluctuations.

Breast reconstruction

Breast reconstruction enables patients who have suffered from breast cancer or trauma to regain their bodily integrity. This type of breast surgery can be performed after a partial or complete mastectomy. Different surgical techniques are used to achieve the most natural result possible.

Nipple and areola surgery

Nipple and areola surgery can address a wide range of problems. Flat or invaginated nipples, or hypertrophic nipples, are a source of aesthetic complexes and difficulties, particularly when breast-feeding. This type of breast surgery also covers reconstruction of the nipple-areola complex (NAC) following mastectomy or trauma. It gives the reconstructed breast a natural appearance. Excessively large or asymmetrical areolas can also be corrected.

Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is an enlargement of the male mammary glands. Surgical removal of this excess glandular tissue results in flatter, more masculine breasts. Breast volume reduction is achieved by liposuction and/or direct removal of the gland. This type of breast surgery can be combined with pectoral reshaping or augmentation using fat transfer, hyaluronic acid injections or silicone implants.
