Round prosthetics spread under the breast tissue, making the breasts appear large and wide. For some women, the upper part of the breasts may appear empty and so a round shaped prosthesis is preferred over the drop shaped one.
Drop-shaped prosthetics are preferred by women with very little breast tissue. They are ideal for creating a soft angle as you move from the upper part of the breasts to the lower part.

Why do women undergo breast enlargement surgery?

mirror, you may desire such a procedure. It is impossible to genetically or naturally grow small. Breast enlargement creams and breast augmentation exercises do not enlarge or plump your breast permanently. The most permanent and safe option for fuller breasts is breast enlargement surgery.
Breast enlargement surgery can also be performed for breasts that lose volume after birth and asymmetrical ones. If your breasts have shrunk after birth and are loose towards the nipple, breast enlargement can make your breasts look fuller. After the breastfeeding process is over, you can undergo such procedures.
Breast augmentation surgery is also performed to reshape the breast after an accident or after cancer. You can get the right support you need to recover your original appearance or achieve something even better after cancer treatment.

The three main reasons why women undergo breast enlargement surgery:

Enlarging small breasts: Some women have genetically small breasts. Small breasts often make women unhappy and cause them to have self-esteem issues. In this case, you can have fuller and voluminous breasts with such a procedure.

Evening unsymmetrical breasts:

It is normal for one breast to be slightly larger than the other. However, in some cases, there may be a noticeable difference between the two breasts. If you have breasts that differ significantly in size, this asymmetry can be remedied with breast enlargement surgery. With surgery, your disproportionate breasts will look even, fuller and more attractive.

Uplifting sagging breasts:

People with sagging breasts dream of a fuller and more lifted breast appearance. There may be a deformation in the breasts, especially after birth and after excessive weight gain and loss. You can combine a breast lift and breast enlargement surgery to show correct multiple issues. Thus, you will have both fuller and flawless breasts. Breast enlargement surgery alone does not completely lift the sagging breast, however.

When you look in the mirror and think your breasts look very small, if what you wear does not suit you or if you feel that you have unattractively small breasts, you are a suitable candidate for breast enlargement surgery. With breast surgery, you will look fuller and more attractive in your clothes.

Nipple reconstruction surgery is a corrective procedure that allows you to alter the size and shape of your nipples. It is often recommended for women that have an asymmetrical or disproportionately-sized nipples and areolas. The Surgeon’s primary focus is to give patients natural, well-proportioned breasts while correcting common issues around the nipple region. For this reason, nipple augmentation is often combined with breast augmentation or reduction. Nipple reconstruction may also be performed on women that have undergone breast reconstruction, to create the nipple that is no longer on the breast mound. Nipple reconstruction may be done as a stand-alone procedure for patients that request this treatment for cosmetic reasons.

Procedure

When performed alone, nipple reconstruction can be done using local anesthesia in our office. A temporary nipple augmentation can be performed with filler such as Juvederm that consists of hyaluronic acid and can last up to 12 months. Permanent reconstruction utilize Incisions are placed within the pigmented area surrounding the nipple, called the areola. This placement ensures any scarring after surgery will be barely visible. Through these incisions, the Surgeon can make the necessary corrections, which will vary based on the results you want to achieve. Most nipple reconstruction procedures take one hour or less to complete, and you can head home shortly after your procedure.
