Breast Surgeries – Types, FAQs & Cost

By Dr. Harsh Amin | ADORN Aesthetic Clinic

Overview of Breast Surgeries 

Breast surgery encompasses a range of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures designed to enhance, reshape, reduce, or restore the breasts. These surgeries help achieve aesthetic goals, correct asymmetry, alleviate physical discomfort, and rebuild breast shape after conditions such as cancer treatment. With state-of-the-art techniques and personalized treatment plans, our goal is to provide natural-looking, long-lasting results with minimal downtime and scarring.

Types of Breast Surgeries & Their Benefits

1. Breast Augmentation (Breast Implants / Fat Grafting)

✔ Benefits: Improves posture and overall comfort while enhancing aesthetic balance.

3. Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
          ✔ Purpose: Elevate sagging breasts and restore a youthful contour.

Initial recovery is 1-2 weeks with limited activity; full healing and final results may take 3-6 months.
 

6. Will I have scars after surgery?

Scars are minimized by placing incisions in natural folds and often fade significantly over time with proper care.
 

7. Can I breastfeed after surgery?

Yes, but factors like weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and aging can influence long-term outcomes.

Weight gain can alter the results; maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential for long-term satisfaction.
