Breast Surgery Types: Augmentation, Reduction and Lift

Breast surgery includes several different procedures. The right procedure depends on whether the concern is small size, heaviness, sagging, asymmetry, or reconstruction.

In this Short, Dr. M. Ram Prabhu introduces common breast surgery types.

Main breast surgery types

Breast augmentation increases volume. Breast reduction reduces heaviness and reshapes the breast. Breast lift improves sagging and nipple position. Reconstruction restores breast shape after disease, trauma, or previous surgery.

Why the distinction matters

Each surgery solves a different problem. Choosing the wrong procedure by name alone can lead to unrealistic expectations.

Key takeaway

Breast surgery should be selected after examination, goal-setting, and a clear discussion of scars, recovery, and long-term expectations.
