Mammoplasty

Mammoplasty

Mammoplasty is a common surgical procedure to change the size of the breasts. Although more often people hear about breast enlargement (breast augmentation), more than half of the mammoplasties are done to decrease the size of the breast (breast reduction). Mammoplasty may also be done when the breasts are markedly different in size.
