Mammoplasty, or breast aesthetic surgery, is a popular method for enhancing the shape and size of breasts, performed for cosmetic or medical reasons. This procedure helps individuals achieve their desired body appearance or address issues like breast sagging.
Mammoplasty is divided into two main categories:
Reduction mammoplasty is primarily suitable for women experiencing issues due to excessively large breasts (hypermastia). This condition may arise from genetic factors, hormonal changes, weight gain, or pregnancy. Overly large breasts can cause various physical problems, including:
Chronic Pain: The excessive weight of large breasts can lead to persistent pain in the neck, shoulders, and back, as the spine is placed under strain.
Skin Issues: Folds under the breasts may cause skin infections or irritation due to moisture accumulation.
Movement Restrictions: Activities such as exercise, running, or prolonged sitting may become challenging.
Aesthetic Concerns: Disproportionate breasts can lower self-confidence and limit clothing options.
Reduction mammoplasty offers numerous benefits beyond aesthetics:
Pain Relief: Many patients report significant reduction in chronic neck and back pain post-surgery.
Improved Mobility: Reducing breast weight facilitates easier participation in sports and daily activities.
Enhanced Confidence: Proportionate breasts improve body image and boost self-esteem.
Reduced Skin Issues: Removing excess skin prevents skin infections.
Better Posture: Reduced strain on the spine improves overall posture.
If large breasts are causing chronic pain or mobility issues, Dr. Karina Qadimi will design the most effective surgical approach with minimal risks. Book a specialized consultation today.
Augmentation mammoplasty is designed for women dissatisfied with small breast size, asymmetry, or undesirable breast shape. Common reasons for this surgery include:
Two main types of implants are used:
Silicone Implants: Filled with silicone gel, these are popular for their soft, natural texture, ideal for those seeking natural results.
Saline Implants: Filled with sterile saltwater, these are firmer but allow for volume adjustments during surgery.
Both types come in various shapes (round or teardrop) and sizes. At Dr. Karina’s clinic, precise consultations and 3D simulations help patients choose the best implant type and size.
Choosing the right implant and surgical technique requires careful evaluation of individual body characteristics. Schedule a consultation at Dr. Karina’s clinic to explore 3D simulation results and make an informed decision.
Performed under general anesthesia, this surgery typically takes 2–4 hours. The surgeon makes incisions tailored to the patient’s needs to remove excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin. The nipple is repositioned to a natural location. Incision patterns include:
Inverted T Incision: Suitable for very large breasts.
Circular Incision: For moderate volume reduction.
Vertical Incision: For minor to moderate reduction.
Minimally invasive techniques and absorbable sutures minimize scarring and ensure natural results.
Also performed under general anesthesia, this surgery takes about 1–2 hours. Incisions are typically made in one of the following areas:
The implant is placed either under or over the chest muscle, depending on the patient’s anatomy. Incisions are closed with fine sutures.
Comprehensive Medical Evaluation and Tests: The surgeon reviews the patient’s medical history, including past illnesses, surgeries, allergies, and heart or lung conditions. Blood tests, mammograms, ultrasounds, or other specialized tests may be required to minimize surgical risks and tailor the treatment plan.
Quit Smoking at Least Two Weeks Before Surgery:Nicotine impairs blood flow and wound healing. Quitting smoking at least two weeks prior reduces infection risks, improves tissue recovery, and lowers anesthesia-related complications.
Avoid Blood-Thinning Medications Like: AspirinMedications that thin the blood can increase bleeding during surgery. The surgeon typically advises stopping these drugs or supplements one to two weeks before the procedure to ensure safer surgery.
Maintain Stable Weight and a Healthy Diet: Weight fluctuations can affect surgical outcomes. A stable weight and nutritious diet rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals promote faster healing, reduce swelling, and ensure natural-looking results.
Plan for Recovery and Arrange Home Support: Recovery requires rest and careful attention. Arranging help from family or friends, preparing comfortable clothing, and setting up a suitable recovery environment minimize stress on the surgical site.
A specialized bra provides support, stabilizes breast position, reduces swelling, and prevents implant or tissue displacement. The surgeon will specify the duration of use based on the surgery type and recovery progress.
Swelling, bruising, and mild pain are normal post-surgery. Prescribed painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs manage discomfort, while antibiotics may be used to prevent infections.
Heavy lifting or intense activities can strain healing tissues. Light movements like short walks are encouraged, but vigorous exercise should be avoided until approved by the surgeon.
Following the surgeon’s guidelines on medication schedules, wound care, use of cold or warm compresses, and regular follow-ups ensures faster recovery, reduced swelling, and optimal aesthetic outcomes.
approximately 4–6 weeks. Patients may experience swelling, bruising, and mild pain in the first week, manageable with prescribed medications. A surgical bra is essential. Strenuous activities should be avoided for at least one month. Most patients return to work after two weeks.
Recovery is typically shorter, lasting 2–4 weeks. Patients must wear a surgical bra and avoid vigorous arm movements. Full exercise is permitted after 6 weeks. At Dr. Karina’s clinic, personalized care plans are provided to ensure optimal recovery.
Like any cosmetic surgery, mammoplasty carries potential risks. Choosing an experienced surgeon and adhering to medical instructions minimizes these risks.
The cost of mammoplasty varies depending on the surgery type, surgeon’s expertise, and clinic facilities. Key factors affecting cost include:
Experienced surgeons with a proven track record deliver safer, more natural results, which may come at a higher cost due to their skill in minimizing complications and optimizing outcomes.
Reduction Mammoplasty: Costs vary based on the extent of volume reduction, surgical complexity, and duration. Larger breasts require more extensive incisions and longer operating times.
Augmentation Mammoplasty: Costs depend on implant type, size, and placement technique. High-quality silicone implants are typically more expensive but offer natural results and durability.
Modern clinics with advanced operating rooms, anesthesia systems, and post-operative care equipment provide a safer, more comfortable experience, which may increase costs.
Costs for follow-up visits, medications, and surgical bras are part of the overall expense. Proper care ensures lasting results and prevents complications.

In augmentation mammoplasty, selecting the appropriate implant is critical for optimal results. Implants are categorized by material, shape, and size.
Silicone Implants: Filled with soft, flexible gel, these are popular for their natural feel and appearance.
Saline Implants: Filled with sterile saltwater, these are firmer but allow volume adjustments during surgery.
Round: Provide more volume in the upper breast, creating a fuller, more prominent look.
Teardrop (Anatomic): Mimic the natural breast shape, with more volume in the lower portion for a subtle, natural appearance.
Determining the Right Size
Implant size should align with the patient’s body structure, shoulder width, chest size, and personal expectations. At Dr. Karina’s clinic, 3D simulations allow patients to visualize realistic outcomes before surgery.
