Breast Surgery: Three Popular Types

Plenty of women are unhappy with their breasts, which is why it is fortunate that there are a few types of operations to help them. Breast surgery can range from enlargement to a reduction, or even a simple lift. Consider the most common types available before you decide what is best for you.

The most well-known kind of breast surgery is enlargement, which typically requires placing implants into the chest. This is meant for women who believe their chest is too small, often resulting in low self-esteem. Luckily, the issue is easily fixed by this popular operation. You can choose between saline implants, which are currently the most popular due to their reputation for being safe, and the silicone type, which are said to look the most natural.

Additionally, you may choose to skip having anything unnatural put into your body, and instead have your surgeon take the fat and skin from other parts of your body and place it into your chest area.

If you were once happy with the size of your breasts, but extreme weight loss, age, or pregnancy has contributed to their droopiness, you may opt for a lift. This usually involves the doctor making a few incisions, pulling the tissue upwards, and pinning it in place in its new position so that your breasts are once again perky. This type of breast surgery is not usually as involved as the enlargement process, but it still takes some time to heal afterward. Some women get this operation a few times throughout their life, as age can often have an effect on the perkiness of the chest.

One breast surgery type that is considered a life-saver for some women is a reduction. This is necessary when a woman's breasts are so big that they cause constant back pain, unwanted attention, the inability to exercise often, and overall discomfort. If this describes your problem, you should know that this is one of the few types of chest operations that insurance usually covers. As long as you can prove that it is medically necessary to reduce the size of your breasts, you will likely not have to pay for it on your own.

These are just the most common kinds of breast surgery available. This is because they fix common issues found in women. If you are ready to start feeling more comfortable about your appearance, talk to a doctor today to find out how to get the operation you want.
