Overview
Mammoplasty refers to a plastic surgery surgical procedure on the breast, to alter the shape or form of the breast. Most commonly, it refers to procedures such as breast enlargement or augmentation mammoplasty , breast lift or mastopexy, and breast reduction or reduction mammoplasty procedures. Mammoplasty procedures can also be combined; for example, breast lift and augmentation can be performed in one or two stages to achieve both enhancement of breast size and a lifted and tighter breast form.
