procedure to enhance and enlarge a woman's breasts with the use of
breast implants. Saline-filled implants are most commonly used for
breast augmentation

Breast Lift
Breast lift, or "mastopexy" is a procedure to lift and reshape
sagging breasts. Pregnancy, nursing, significant weight gain and loss,
or age may cause sagging of the breasts. This is function of the effects
of gravity and physiologic changes within the breast tissue. As the skin
loses its elasticity, the breasts often lose their shape and firmness
and begin to sag
(Pictures).
Breast Reconstruction
Reconstruction of a breast that has been removed due to cancer is one
of the most rewarding surgical procedures available to women today.
Newer techniques and procedures have made it possible to create a breast
that can come close to a woman's natural breast in form and appearance

Breast Reduction
Breast reduction is a procedure to reduce the size as well as lift
and shape heavy, sagging breasts. Breast reduction is usually performed
for physical relief of symptoms rather than simply cosmetic improvement.
In many cases the procedure is covered by the health insurances
