3 Types of Breast Surgery to Consider

When you're not happy with your breasts, your self-esteem suffers severely. If your breasts are too big or too small, breast surgery can be the answer you've been looking for.

Dr. Anthony Dardano and his team offer several types of breast surgery to help you look and feel your absolute best. Whether you're looking into a breast reduction or reconstructive surgery, Dr. Dardano can help you get the look you've been dreaming of.

Why do you need breast surgery?

As a woman, you're born with the breasts you'll have for the rest of your life, even if you don't love them. However, some circumstances pop up, causing you to need breast surgery, which includes the following:

Cosmetic reasons

Suppose you're unhappy with the size of your breasts or how they look. In that case, there are several cosmetic procedures Dr. Dardano uses to enhance the appearance of your breasts. These include breast augmentations and breast reductions.

Medical reasons

One of the main reasons you may need breast surgery is breast cancer. If you have breast cancer, a doctor may remove some or all of your breast tissue to get rid of the cancer and keep it from spreading. Non-cancerous lumps may also require surgery.

No matter why you're looking into breast surgery, you must understand every aspect before deciding if it's right for you.

Three types of breast surgery

There are several types of breast surgery that are available for various reasons. If you're not happy with your breasts, Dr. Dardano offers several types of breast surgery, including:

1. Breast reduction

Dr. Dardano performs a breast reduction when your breast size is causing problems with your health, or you want smaller breasts. Large breasts put excess strain on your neck and back, sometimes causing chronic pain, which is why you may consider a breast reduction.

2. Breast augmentation

Breast augmentation is a surgery Dr. Dardano uses to increase the size of your breasts. You may want a breast augmentation if your breasts are on the smaller side and you want to enhance your appearance.

3. Breast reconstruction

You may want a breast reconstruction after you've had a mastectomy for breast cancer. Dr. Dardano reconstructs your chest to give you breast tissue after you've had it removed for medical purposes.

Breast reconstruction is similar to breast augmentation but more involved since your breast tissue has already been removed.

Things to consider with breast surgery

When you're looking into breast surgery, there are several aspects you need to consider before deciding on your procedure. When you want a breast augmentation to enhance your chest, or you need a breast reduction, there's a lot to think about before your procedure, including:

Type of implants
Complications after surgery
Risks of the procedure
Longevity of breast surgery
Changes to your breasts over time

Dr. Dardano discusses every aspect of your procedure beforehand to ensure you understand the benefits, risks, and aftercare needed for each type of breast surgery you're considering.
