Augmentation mammoplasty, more commonly referred to as breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgery procedure that is used to enhance the shape and size of a woman’s breasts for many different reasons. According to Dr. Ameen Habash, a Palm Desert plastic surgeon, the reasons include but are not limited to: To balance a difference in size between two breasts; as a reconstructive procedure following any other breast surgery; to correct breast volume after a woman loses volume due to pregnancy; to enhance the body contour of a woman who feels her breast size is too small. By placing an implant behind each breast, plastic surgeons are capable of increasing the bust-line of a woman by one or more bra cup sizes.

Augmentation Mammoplasty Is A Plastic Surgery Procedure Used To Enhance The Shape And Size Of A Woman’s Breasts

Monday, November 23rd, 2009Many factors take their toll on a woman’s breasts after years and years. These factors include nursing and pregnancy and the force of gravity. When the skin loses its elasticity, the breasts will usually lose some of their shape and firmness and begin to sag. A plastic surgery procedure known as a mastopexy, or breast lift, is designed to fight against those affects of aging. The procedure will raise and reshape sagging breasts at least for a time.
A breast lift surgery can also reduce the size of a woman’s areola which is the darker skin that is around the nipple. In the case that your breasts have lost volume or are small, breast implants inserted during the procedure can greatly increase their size and their firmness.
According to Palm Desert plastic surgeon, Dr. Ameen Habash, the biggest reason that a woman seeks a breast lift is because nursing and pregnancy have left them with less volume and stretched skin in their breasts. If a woman is planning on having children, or more children, she should postpone the idea of having a breast lift until after she is done having children. With the surgery, there are no specific risks that would affect a future pregnancy (mastopexy rarely interferes with breast-feeding), however pregnancy is almost definitely going to re-stretch your breasts again and will remove the results of the breast lift.
