Breast Surgery: Enhancing Aesthetics & Confidence - Dr. Kaustubh Prabhune

By Dr. Kaustubh Prabhune – Consultant Cosmetic and Plastic Surgeon in Pune

Breast surgery encompasses a range of procedures designed to enhance, reshape, or reduce breast size for both aesthetic and medical reasons. Whether you are looking to enhance your curves, restore breast symmetry, or alleviate physical discomfort, breast surgery can offer life-changing benefits.

1) Breast Enlargement (Breast Augmentation)
Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. Women who feel their breasts are too small or asymmetrical may opt for this procedure.
Procedure:

• Implants (silicone gel or saline) are placed under the breast tissue or behind the chest muscle.
• Incisions are usually made in the inframammary fold, around the areola, or in the armpit.
• The surgery takes 1-2 hours and is performed under general anesthesia.

Benefits:

• Increases bust size by one or more cup sizes.
• Enhances body proportions and self-confidence.
• No impact on fertility, pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

2) Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammoplasty)
Breast reduction surgery is designed to remove excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin to achieve smaller, lighter, and firmer breasts. It is an effective solution for women who experience physical discomfort due to overly large breasts.
Who Can Benefit?

• Teenagers with gigantic virginal hypertrophy (excessive breast growth during puberty) facing physical and psychological distress.
• Women post-childbirth seeking to correct sagging and regain breast shape.
• Women after menopause who experience discomfort due to heavy breasts.

Procedure:

• Reduces breast size while reshaping the contour.
• Areola size can be reduced for a more proportionate appearance.
• Performed under general anesthesia and takes 2-4 hours.

Benefits:

• Alleviates back and neck pain, improves posture.
• Enhances comfort and ability to engage in physical activities.
• Improves overall body proportions and self-esteem.

3) Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
A breast lift is designed to reposition sagging breasts and restore a youthful shape. Ideal candidates include women who have experienced loss of firmness due to aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations.

Procedure:

• Removes excess skin and tightens the breast tissue.
• Nipple repositioning for a natural, lifted appearance.
• Can be combined with breast augmentation for added volume.

Benefits:

• Enhances breast contour and symmetry.
• Lifts and firms the breasts for a youthful look.
• Improves self-confidence and overall body image.

4) Gynecomastia Surgery (Male Breast Reduction)
Gynecomastia, the enlargement of male breast tissue, affects many men and can cause emotional distress. Surgical intervention can effectively restore a masculine chest contour.

Procedure Options:

• Liposuction-assisted mastectomy to remove excess fat.
• Glandular tissue excision to achieve a flat, firm chest.

• Improves confidence and body image.
• Provides long-term, natural-looking results.
