Breast surgery encompasses procedures to enhance, reduce, lift, or reconstruct the breasts. Whether for cosmetic reasons or post-mastectomy, it aims to improve breast shape and symmetry. Consultation with a qualified surgeon is vital to determine the most suitable approach and discuss potential outcomes and risks.
Here are key points about breast surgery:
-
Breast surgery includes breast augmentation (implants or fat transfer), breast reduction, breast lift (mastopexy), and breast reconstruction.
-
Enhances breast size and shape, typically using implants or fat grafting.
-
Reduces the size of overly large breasts to alleviate physical discomfort and improve aesthetics.
-
Addresses sagging breasts by reshaping and elevating them for a more youthful appearance.

What is FUE hair transplantation?FUE is a minimally invasive hair restoration procedure that involves the extraction and transplantation of individual hair follicles from a donor area to areas with thinning or balding hair.
-
How does FUE differ from other hair transplant methods?FUE differs from the strip method (FUT) by individually extracting follicles instead of a strip of scalp, resulting in smaller, less visible scars.
-
Am I a suitable candidate for FUE?Ideal candidates have sufficient donor hair in the back or sides of the head and are experiencing pattern baldness or hair loss.
-
Is FUE a permanent solution for hair loss?The transplanted hair is permanent, but ongoing hair loss may require further treatment or maintenance.
-
How is the donor area determined for FUE?The donor area is typically the back or sides of the head, where hair is genetically resistant to balding.
-
Is FUE painful?Discomfort is minimal during the procedure, and local anesthesia is used. Post-operative discomfort is manageable with pain medication.
-
What is the recovery time for FUE?Most patients can return to regular activities within a few days, with full recovery taking a few weeks.
