Mammoplasty (breast surgery)

Breast surgery is a set of plastic surgery procedures aimed at correcting the shape and size of the bust. Breast plastic surgery is in demand among women of various ages. According to the European Analytical Center, mammoplasty accounts for 20% of all plastic surgeries performed.

Breast plastic surgery is indicated in the following cases:

• Insufficient or excessive volume
• Congenital absence of mammary glands (hypomastia)
• Asymmetry
• Breast sagging (after childbirth or due to aging)
• Inverted nipples
• Dissatisfaction with shape
• Tubular deformity (the breast visually resembles a tube)
• Scarring after previous surgeries

Types of mammoplasty:

Breast augmentation (augmentation mammoplasty). Silicone, saline, or hydrogel implants of various shapes and textures are used, allowing for the optimal option to be selected in each case.

Breast reduction (reduction mammoplasty). A procedure aimed at reducing breast volume to relieve physical discomfort and improve appearance. May include breast lifting.

Breast lift (mastopexy). A procedure to lift the breast without changing its volume.

Reconstructive mammoplasty. Restores the shape and volume of the breast after trauma or surgery (e.g., mastectomy). Various methods are used, including implants and the patient’s own tissue (e.g., fat tissue).

Procedure features in leading global clinics

Advanced technologies used in top international clinics:

• Modern implants. New-generation silicone implants are more resistant to rupture and provide a natural appearance.
• 3D modeling. Technologies for planning and visualizing the results help patients better understand the expected outcomes of surgery.
• Endoscopic equipment. Used as a minimally invasive technique with micro-incisions, which shortens the recovery period.
• Lipofilling. Transplantation of fat tissue from other areas of the body to increase breast volume. This method provides natural results without the use of implants.
• Stem cells. Application of stem cells to improve the quality of transplanted fat tissue and achieve better outcomes in reconstructive breast surgery.
• Postoperative monitoring. Use of devices and applications for monitoring the patient’s condition after surgery allows physicians to track recovery in real time.
