Many patients choose breast surgery to enhance the appearance of their breasts, to address changes due to aging, weight loss or weight gain, pregnancy and breastfeeding, or genetics, and to feel their very best. While the procedure can significantly improve a person’s physical appearance and emotional well-being, it is major surgery, and it will result in some scarring.
