Breast Procedures

How are the Breast Surgeries Performed?

The need for breast procedures often arises for two reasons:

  • Cosmetics: To improve the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts.
  • Reconstructive: Reconstructing the breasts due to breast cancer.

Breasts are considered an essential element of a woman's femininity. About 2 million women worldwide have breast procedures to change the size and symmetry of their breasts each year. The qualified surgeons of My Body by Design will determine the most suitable incision method for the operation according to the size, shape of the breasts, and skin structure of the patient.

Breast enlargement, in its simplest definition, is the process of placing implants inside the breasts. General anesthesia is applied to the patient during the operation, and the procedure takes an average of 3 to 5 hours, depending on some factors.
