Breast augmentation with prostheses, or breast augmentation (mammaplasty), is a surgical procedure to increase breast size and improve its shape. It involves placing an implant in the appropriate plane to enhance the breast, improving both its shape and volume.
Breast augmentation via lipotransfer is a surgical procedure to increase breast size and improve its shape using autologous fat. When the fat is placed in the appropriate plane, it enhances the breast, improving both its shape and volume.
Breast asymmetry is understood as the difference that may exist between the breasts. This difference may involve volume, shape, amount, or the elasticity of the tissue. We find different types of asymmetries: those due to congenital alterations, mispositioning within the rib cage, breast asymmetry after a period of breastfeeding, those caused by an oncological process, or complex asymmetries
Breast reduction, or reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure to decrease breast size by removing fat, breast tissue, and skin, making them smaller, lighter, and firmer. In addition, it can reduce the size of the areola.
Breast lifting, technically known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure to lift and improve the shape of sagging breasts. Normally, the height of the areola-nipple complex lies below the breast fold. Mastopexy can be performed at the same time as breast augmentation.
Areola reduction, or periareolar reshaping (pexia periareolar), is a reduction of the areola’s circumference; as an added benefit, it achieves a lift of the areola-nipple complex. The areola size is usually 3.8 to 4.5 cm in diameter. It is carried out by removing part of the outer areolar border, which results in a periareolar scar.
Surgery that corrects breast enlargement (hypertrophy) in men. It is estimated that gynecomastia affects 40–60% of men. It may affect one breast or both. In the vast majority of cases, no cause is known.
Implant exchange is a surgical procedure that involves removing the previous breast implants, capsulotomy, or in cases of periprosthetic capsular contracture, complete removal (capsulectomy), and inserting a new implant appropriate to the new circumstances.
Tubular breast deformity is a condition that causes an abnormality in the breast formation process. It can be unilateral or bilateral, and the cause is usually a structural alteration of the breast gland that compresses it, as if it were constricted by concentric rings. The breast gland has a rigid nature and, in some cases, the areola-nipple complex protrudes and can appear herniated
Removal of breast implants is a surgical procedure that consists of removing the breast implants and, in many cases, the periprosthetic capsule that surrounds the implant. Usually, the same scar is used for the removal, but in some cases an incision in the inframammary fold is preferred.
