Procedures: Breast

Getting a full, firm and curvy bustline is every woman’s dream. Cosmetic surgeries on the breast include breast augmentation, breast reduction mammoplasty and mastopexy (breast lift). Breast augmentation usually involves either putting an artificial implant or fat injection under the breast tissue. It is a day-care procedure under anaesthesia and patients rarely require hospital stay.

Breast reduction involves removing excess breast tissue, fat and skin, and repositioning the nipple to get the desired outcome. The procedure may be combined with a mastopexy (breast lift) to give a fuller appearance. Discuss your options with your plastic surgeon to learn the risks and benefits of each procedure.
