Mammaplasty
Breast reduction, technically known as reduction mammaplasty, is designed
for women with very large pendulous breasts who may experience a variety
of medical problems caused by the excessive weight, from back and
neck pain and skin irritation to skeletal deformities and breathing
problems. The procedure removes fat, glandular tissue, and skin from
the breasts, making them smaller, lighter, and firmer. It can also
reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple.
The goal is to give the woman smaller, better?shaped breasts in proportion
with the rest of her body.

Mastopexy is a procedure performed to lift a sagging breast. It can

Micropigmentation
Micropigmentation, or cosmetic tattooing, can be used for permanent
eyeliner, eyebrows or lip color. It can also be used infrequently
for permanent blush and eyeshadow. Other uses by plastic surgeons
include recreating the coloration of the areola around the nipple
following breast reconstruction; restoring the color of dark or light
skin where natural pigmentation has been lost through such factors
as vitiligo, cancer, burns or other scarring; and eliminating some
types of birthmarks or previous tattoos. Micropigmentation should
be performed only under medical supervision by appropriately trained
personnel.
