Breast Surgery

Breast surgery is a procedure that modifies a woman or man’s breasts. Such surgeries are done for a variety of reasons. Some are done for cosmetic reasons, such as to reconstruct the breast to look more youthful, or increase its size. Others are medically necessary such as a breast reduction for back pain or surgery to remove cancer.

Either part or all of the breast and possibly the nearby lymph nodes are removed to get rid of the cancer or removal of non-cancer breast lumps. Cosmetic reasons are also there like breast reconstruction, breast augmentation, and breast reduction.
