Breast Lift
 A breast lift, or mastopexy, is performed to return youthful shape and lift to breasts that have sagged as a result of weight loss, pregnancy, loss of the skin’s natural elasticity or simply the effects of aging and gravity. The procedure can also reduce areolar size (the dark skin surrounding the nipple), and it can be combined with breast reduction for added firmness. It is usually done under general anesthesia, and lasts from one to three hours.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic surgery procedures in the U.S. It can give women with small or unevenly-sized breasts a fuller, firmer, better-proportioned look through the placement of implants in the breast. Women may elect to undergo breast augmentation for many different medical and aesthetic motivations, including balancing breast size and compensating for reduced breast mass after pregnancy or surgery. The procedure may be combined with others such as a breast lift for more satisfying results.

Breast Asymmetry
 Breast Asymmetry is a condition where one breast is larger than the other. Most people have slightly different-sized -- or asymmetrical -- breasts. However, in some cases the difference in size is pronounced There are options on how to correct this condition. Breast implants can be used to augment one breast, making it similar to the other one. You may want to augment (enlarge) the smaller breast to look like the larger one, or reduce the size of the larger breast to match the smaller one.
Breast reduction can be performed to reduce the larger of the two breasts. This involves removal of excess breast tissue, fat and skin. Either procedure results in breasts that are more similar in size. Correcting breast asymmetry has not only helped women improve upon their appearance, but it can also provide a boost to their self-esteem and self-confidence.
Breast Reduction
Large breasts can cause pain, improper posture, rashes, breathing problems, skeletal deformities, and low self-esteem. Breast reduction surgery is usually done to provide relief from these symptoms. Performed under general anesthesia, the two- to four-hour procedure removes fat and glandular tissue and tightens skin to produce smaller, lighter breasts that are in a healthier proportion to the rest of the body.
Breast Implant Revision
Each year, many women undergo breast augmentation. It has become one of the procedures most frequently performed on women today. Breast implant revision is a surgical procedure designed to replace older silicone implants with new saline-filled implants (or in certain patients, with newer silicone-filled implants). We know that eventually almost all of them will need to undergo at least one or more operations for routine implant replacement. As with most medical devices, the implants are not designed to last forever.
There are various reasons women have for choosing to undergo breast implant revision. One of the main reasons is deflation of the breast implant. Some women just wish to be bigger or smaller and would like an implant exchange. Then there are those who were not happy with the original results of their first operation and would like to have breast implant revision to gain an appearance they can be happy with. Breast implant hardening or encapsulation is another reason why women may seek correction or revision. Even though the majority of women with implants remain acceptable soft, some do experience more firmness. Some may even have visible distortion or discomfort and feel that it should be addressed.
Gynecomastia
 Enlarged male breasts (gynecomastia) affects nearly 40-60% of men, often with no known cause. This condition can be highly embarrassing as well as physically uncomfortable.
