Cosmetic Breast Surgery:
Shaping Beauty
What is a COSMETIC BREAST SURGERY?
Cosmetic breast surgery encompasses a variety of surgical procedures aimed at enhancing the appearance, size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts. Whether the aim is to augment, lift, or reduce the breasts, each procedure harmonizes with the body’s natural proportions, ensuring both beauty and a natural look. This approach addresses various aesthetic concerns, such as increasing breast volume, correcting asymmetry, lifting sagging breasts, or reducing overly large breasts that may cause physical discomfort.
At Estedica, our approach to cosmetic breast surgery is centered around personalized care and precision. By offering a range of options—from breast augmentation to reduction and lifts—we cater to diverse needs, allowing patients to choose the procedure that best fits their lifestyle and aesthetic goals.
At Estedica, we prioritize transparency and patient education, empowering you with essential information about cosmetic surgery. Breast implants, while offering stunning results and lifetime warranty may require replacement due to rupture or leakage, capsular contracture, cosmetic reasons, or positional shifts. Regular check-ups and periodic MRIs or ultrasounds are crucial to monitor implant condition, especially for silent ruptures in silicone implants. Understanding these factors ensures you make informed decisions and embark on your aesthetic journey with confidence and peace of mind.
Who is a good candidate for a COSMETIC BREAST SURGERY?
Ideal candidates for cosmetic breast surgery are individuals who seek to enhance the appearance, size, shape, or symmetry of their breasts and meet the following criteria:
Good Overall Health:Candidates should be in good physical health without any serious medical conditions that could impair healing. Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or cardiovascular diseases may increase surgical risks.
Non-Smokers or Willing to Quit: Smoking can interfere with the healing process and increase the risk of complications. Ideal candidates are non-smokers or are willing to quit well in advance of the surgery.
Realistic Expectations: Candidates should have a clear and realistic understanding of what cosmetic breast surgery can achieve. They should seek improvement rather than perfection and be aware of the potential risks and benefits.
Aesthetic Concerns: Those who are dissatisfied with the size, shape, or symmetry of their breasts. This includes individuals looking to increase volume (augmentation), correct sagging (lift), or reduce breast size (reduction).
Stable Weight: It’s beneficial if candidates are at a stable weight, as significant weight fluctuations can affect the results of the surgery.
Emotional and Psychological Readiness: Candidates should be emotionally stable and seeking surgery for themselves, not to meet someone else’s expectations or ideals. It is important for them to have a positive outlook and realistic goals for what the surgery can accomplish.

BENEFITS OF Cosmetic Breast Surgery
ENHANCED APPEARANCE: Cosmetic breast surgery allows you to achieve a more balanced, proportional, and aesthetically pleasing breast appearance. Whether it’s augmenting size, lifting sagging tissues, or reducing volume, the results are tailored to complement your unique body shape, enhancing your natural beauty.
PHYSICAL COMFORT: For those opting for breast reduction, this procedure can alleviate physical discomfort such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, as well as skin irritation caused by overly large breasts. By achieving a more manageable breast size, you can enjoy a greater range of physical activities and a more active lifestyle.
REJUVINATED YOUTHFULNESS: Procedures like breast lifts restore a youthful contour to the breasts, counteracting the effects of aging, gravity, and life changes such as pregnancy or weight fluctuations.
TYPES OF Cosmetic Breast Surgery
Estedica offers a range of cosmetic breast surgery options to cater to different needs:
BREAST AUGMENTATION
This procedure involves the use of implants or fat transfer to increase the size and enhance the shape of the breasts. Ideal for individuals seeking fuller breasts, improved symmetry, or restored volume lost due to weight reduction or pregnancy, breast augmentation provides a significant and lasting enhancement.
BREAST LIFT (MASTOPEXY)
Designed to raise and firm the breasts, a breast lift removes excess skin and tightens surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new breast contour. Perfect for those experiencing sagging or drooping breasts due to aging, gravity, weight loss, or childbirth, this procedure rejuvenates the breasts, giving them a more youthful appearance.
BREAST REDUCTION
This surgery involves removing excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin to achieve a breast size in proportion with your body. Ideal for individuals with overly large breasts causing physical discomfort such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, a breast reduction can alleviate these issues while enhancing the breast’s overall shape and size for a more balanced and comfortable result.
BREAST RECONSTRUCTION
Breast reconstruction surgery aims to restore the appearance of one or both breasts following mastectomy or lumpectomy. Using techniques such as flap reconstruction or implants, this procedure provides a natural and symmetrical appearance, helping individuals regain confidence and a sense of wholeness.
Each type of cosmetic breast surgery at Estedica is performed with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring results that align perfectly with your aesthetic goals and natural beauty.

IMPLANT PLACEMENT OR TISSUE ADJUSTMENT
• Breast Augmentation: If you are undergoing breast augmentation, the chosen implants are inserted either beneath the breast tissue (subglandular) or under the pectoral muscle (submuscular). The placement method is determined based on your anatomy and aesthetic goals.
• Breast Lift: During a breast lift, excess skin is removed, and the breast tissue is lifted and reshaped to achieve a firmer, more youthful contour.
• Breast Reduction: For breast reduction, excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed to reduce the size and improve the shape of the breasts.
