Women should consider breast surgery reduction if they are experiencing intense pain in the shoulder, neck and back areas; have bad posture; experience rash outbreaks under the breast area; have deep impressions left by bra straps on shoulders; experience lessened activity levels; have self-esteem that is low; and who have a hard time fitting into specific bra and clothing sizes.
Breast Surgery Reduction Costs
The price for a breast surgery reduction is $5,000 to $10,000. Make sure to choose a breast reduction surgeon who is board certified for optimal results.
Breast Surgery Reduction Procedure
There are generally three incisions that are made in a breast surgery reduction. The first incision site is made surrounding the areola, and then the plastic surgeon runs his blade vertically from the bottom edge of the areola to the crease underneath the breast.
The third site will outline the natural shape of the breast. The cosmetic surgeon will then extract the extra breast tissue, skin and fat, and then the areola and nipple will be repositioned. The areola will also be decreased in size.
Skin that used to be situated above the nipple will be stretched down and conjoined to reshape the breast region. Liposuction techniques will be utilized to improve the contour underneath the arm.
Breast Lift
In a breast lift plastic surgery, the surgeon will lift and reshape sagging breasts for smaller and larger breast sizes. Smaller breasts tend to hold their lift longer, as the weight of larger breasts work against the changes made by the breast lift surgery procedure.
Breast Lift Costs
Typically, a breast lift costs in the range of $3,500 to $6,000. This price includes the surgical setting, anesthesiologist’s cost, and the surgeon’s fee.
Breast Augmentation/ Breast Implant
The Infra-mammary augmentation is a certain method of breast augmentation that involves making an incision on the lower part of the breast, away from the crease where the breast meets the chest, concealing any scars.
Breast implants are then placed under the pectoralis muscle. In some techniques, the implant is placed above the pectoralis muscle and below the breast tissue.
Breast Augmentation Costs
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the total costs for breast augmentation is $3,000 to $9,000.
Breast Enhancers/ Breast Enlargement
Breast enhancement is a fast growing area of cosmetic plastic surgery and it includes several procedures, such as the breast enlargement with breast implants, breast lifts, and breast reduction.
All are somewhat safe procedures with some risks. Recovery time for all is on average of about three to five weeks.
