Breast enhancement falls into several catagories:
Augmentation - Using anatomical implants to alters the breasts’ external shape in order to improve bodily proportions.
Mastopexy - Restoring supplness to the breasts by removing excess sagging tissue and then reshaping and re-positioning the breast mound.
Reduction - Reducing the amount of breast tissue, fat and skin in order to decrease the weight and prominence of the breasts.
Implant revision - Enables you to replace your existing breast implants and help you decide whether to increase or decrease their size.

Studies suggest that the majority of women are dissatisfied with the natural size of their breasts. While some women seek to have breast augmentation procedures to achieve rounder, fuller breasts, other women opt for breast reduction or breast lift surgery to reposition the breasts to a higher part of the chest and create a more youthful, perkier shape.
The fact that there are multiple options is why it's so important to discuss your goals with a plastic surgeon who can help you decide which procedure is right for you.
Breast Augmentation - The procedure involves making an incision around the areola or at the breast crease and placing a selected breast implant and then contouring the breast tissues surrounding the implant to enhance the volume, shape and projection of the breasts and the position of the areola and the nipple.
Mastopexy - The overall effect is to raise the breast position in order to give the breasts a rejuvenated appearance. While there are numerous methods that may be used, the majority of them involve making an incision in or around the breast, surgical excision of extra tissue and skin, reshaping of the breast mound and lifting of the breast, and lastly repositioning of the nipple as required.
Breast reduction - This procedure involves the removal of excess fat, tissues and skin from the breasts. The outcomes are aesthetically sound and reports suggest that most women who undergo breast reduction surgery are satisfied with the results.
