Breast Enhancement with Various Cosmetic Procedures
Breast enhancement term includes several cosmetic procedures, such as breast augmentation, breast reduction, and breast lift. Which of these procedures are you interested in? Let's learn more about these techniques with Dr. Ahmed Mekkawy, a specialist in plastic surgery and body sculpting. Let's start with breast augmentation procedures.
Characteristics of breast augmentation procedures include:
• Increasing the size of the breasts and making them more symmetrical to achieve the ideal shape.
• Sculpting the breasts and balancing their dimensions compared to the waistline to achieve an hourglass figure.
• Boosting your self-confidence and improving your external image.
• Breast augmentation procedures are also suitable for breast reshaping after an accident or breast removal surgery.
Breast augmentation procedures cannot address breast sagging. In such cases, breast lift procedures may be the most suitable solution.
You may be a good candidate for breast augmentation for the following reasons:
• If you are in good health and do not have any chronic conditions that may hinder the procedure.
• If your breast development is complete, preferably when you are over 18 years old.
• If your breasts are asymmetrical.
Breast Augmentation Techniques:
Silicone and Saline Implants:
These implants are filled inside an inert silicone material that does not interact with the body in any way and are installed behind or in front of the chest muscle to enhance the breast's size.
These implants are inserted through a surgical incision made below the chest muscle. Dr. Ahmed Mekkawy performs this procedure, where the implants are placed in the appropriate position. Then the surgical incision is closed with cosmetic sutures.
Autologous Fat Transfer:
This cosmetic procedure is performed in two stages. First, fat is suctioned from areas with localized fat deposits. Then, the extracted fat is filtered and injected into the breast area to increase its volume.
Autologous fat transfer may require a longer time for the procedure, but it is characterized by not leaving any scars on the breast area and does not require surgical intervention.
Some women may prefer silicone and saline implants because they provide a more noticeable increase in breast size. Additionally, autologous fat transfer yields shorter-lasting results, but it offers a natural feel without any risks or side effects.
Breast Reduction Cosmetic Procedures:
Breast reduction is performed through surgical intervention, where an incision is made either below the chest muscle or around the nipple to remove the glandular tissue that causes breast enlargement. Alternatively, it can be done through liposuction techniques to remove accumulated fat on the breasts.
You may consider breast reduction for the following reasons:
• To make the breast size more proportionate to the rest of your body.
• To address various problems related to large breast size, such as shoulder and neck pain and nerve inflammation.
• To facilitate participation in sports activities that require continuous movement.
• To make it easier to find clothing and bras that fit you.
Breast enhancement can also include breast lift procedures that many women undergo after weight loss, multiple pregnancies, and childbirth.
Each breast enhancement procedure has its own characteristics and advantages. Have you ever considered undergoing any of these procedures? You can consult Dr. Ahmed Mekkawy, the leading plastic surgery and body sculpting specialist, to achieve the attractive appearance you desire.
