Female breast surgeries encompass a range of procedures, including augmentation to increase size using implants or fat transfer, reduction to alleviate discomfort and improve proportion by removing excess tissue, and reconstruction often following mastectomy to restore breast shape using implants or the patient’s own tissue. These surgeries aim to address aesthetic concerns, physical discomfort, or the impact of medical treatments.

Female Breast Surgeries
Overview
Breast operations in ladies can be for various reasons, including cosmetic enhancement or medical necessity. Common types include breast augmentation (increasing breast size), breast reduction (reducing breast size), and breast lift (lifting and reshaping breasts). Breast reconstruction is also performed after a mastectomy (breast removal due to cancer).
Cosmetic Breast Surgeries
Breast Augmentation
This procedure involves placing breast implants (silicone or saline) behind the breast tissue or chest muscles to increase breast size and shape, according to the Harmony - Multispeciality Clinics & Cosmetic Care Centre.
Breast Reduction
This surgery aims to reduce breast size by removing excess tissue, fat, and skin, as described by WebMD.
Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
This procedure lifts and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue, according to the Harmony - Multispeciality Clinics & Cosmetic Care Centre.
Breast Surgery for Medical Reasons
Breast Reconstruction
This is performed after a mastectomy to restore the breast contour, according to the National Cancer Institute.
Lumpectomy/Mastectomy (for breast cancer)
These surgeries involve removing all or part of the breast to treat breast cancer, as explained by the Cleveland Clinic.
Other Considerations
Breast asymmetry correction
This can involve both breast augmentation and reduction to create more symmetrical breasts.
Cost
