Cosmetic Surgery New York: Breast Augmentation, Lift and Reduction

The female breast is an anatomic feature of inestimable value. It is more integral to the "femaleness" of form than is any other organ. The breast is celebrated in art, in sexuality, and in the individual woman's sense of wholeness, having long been understood to represent both beauty and nurturing.

Many women seek change in form through cosmetic breast surgery. Information about the many avenues available for such change can be accessed through the procedures listed here.

• Breast Augmentation (implants)
• Breast Lift (mastopexy)
• Breast Asymmetry (unequal breasts)
• Breast Reduction (macromastia)

However, the importance of the breast to a woman's overall health and well being can never be subordinated to cosmetic concerns alone. Each prospective cosmetic surgery patient, and indeed, all women, must be aware of the measures that should be taken to preserve breast health. Key among these measures are "breast self-examination" (BSE), and mammography, (Xray imaging of the breast). To read about these, use the links below.
