The aim of cosmetic breast surgery is to create beautiful and symmetrical breast.
What define beautiful breast shape depends on the individual patients body stature and what she consider attractive ,as well as on her particular cultural concepts of beauty.
Augmentation is procedure to increase in size of breast.This can be done with
1.Autologus tissue like fat grafting
2. Breast Implants.
All implants on the market today are made of two separate components, outer silicon shell and inner filling that can be of Saline or Silicone.
Breast implant may be round or anatomical shape.
The newest generation of implants –the cohesive silicon gel implant-promises increased gel integrity and a more natural appearance.

Mastopexy is asthetic breast surgery in which breast is lifted and reshaped without increasing size of breast to look aesthetically pleasing and more youthful.

The presence of breast is a defining feature of adult mammalian gender.
It must therefore be considered an essential element of human feminity, and the role it play in

Hence reconstruction of breast is almost exclusively consequent on surgery for breast cancer.
Creating a symmetrical ptotic conus precisely positioned on the breast footprint embodies the art of breast reconstructive sculpture.
The ultimate goal of breast reconstruction is to create symmetrical,natural-looking breast and not necessarily a specific shape or volume.
