Mammoplasty (breast augmentation surgery)
Mammoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure aimed at changing the shape, size, and symmetry of the breasts. It is performed to enlarge, reduce, or lift the breasts, as well as to restore their appearance after childbirth, age-related changes, or mastectomy.

- Dissatisfaction with the size or shape of the breasts.
- Loss of breast firmness after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss.
- Congenital or acquired breast asymmetry.
- Breast reconstruction after mastectomy due to cancer.
- Physical discomfort caused by overly large or heavy breasts (back, neck, or shoulder strain).
How is the surgery performed?
- Surgeon consultation – the desired outcome is discussed and the appropriate technique is selected.
- Anesthesia – the procedure is performed under general anesthesia.
- Breast shape and size correction – implant placement, tissue reduction, or lifting is performed depending on indications.
- Formation of a natural contour – the surgeon models a harmonious and proportional breast shape.
- Rehabilitation – the patient wears compression garments to support the breasts during healing.
