Aesthetic surgery for breasts has been practiced for many years for reduction, enhancement, and mastopexy. Breast aesthetic surgery is of three types: augmentation, reduction, and reconstruction.
Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is performed to enhance the appearance and size of a woman's breasts. It is done with implants that can be placed over or under the pectoralis chest muscle. A breast implant is typically a silicone shell filled with either saline or silicone gel. Breast reduction is known as reduction mammoplasty. The procedure involves the removal of excess skin, fat, and glandular tissue. With this type of surgery, scarring can be extensive; possible side effects include pain and lumpiness from scar tissue and the inability to breastfeed. Breast reconstruction seeks to recreate breasts with the desired appearance and volume. This can be done with either implant or with a woman's own tissue.
The American society for aesthetic plastic surgery estimates that, for the year 2017, there was a 7.7% increase in the total number of breast aesthetic surgical procedures over 2016, with almost 2.1 million surgical procedures performed in 2017.
