Breast Augmentation (Breast Enlargement)
One of the commonest operations in plastic surgery. Dr Tavakoli specialises in this operation. There are a variety of incisions including the periareolar concealed technique.
Breasts may be small because of lack of development or changes following pregnancy, weight loss or congenital abnormalities. Sometimes a woman's breasts are very asymmetric. This operation can improve a woman's self esteem and quality of life.
Reduction Mammaplasty (Breast Reduction)
Also known as reduction mammaplasty, breast reduction is an operation intended to reduce the size of a woman's breasts and improve their shape and position.
Mastopexy (Breast Lift)
Breast lift or mastopexy is alternatively designed to improve the shape and position of the breasts without reducing their size. It is used for breasts which sag but are not large.
Nipple Conditions
Many women have nipples that are inverted intermittently or constantly. It is often a source of concern and self consciousness.
Male Breast Reduction (Gynaecomastia)
Gynaecomastia, a medical word from the Greek words for "woman-like breasts," affects as many as 30% of men. Enlarged breasts on young boys last only a few years and are generally resolved by age 18.
Enlarged breasts on a man , however, can be uncomfortable, as well as socially and psychologically devastating.
One of the commonest causes in Sydney is probably due to the use of anabolic steroids by body builders. There are other hormonal causes that need to be ruled out prior to embarking on this procedure.
Pectoral Implants
The pectoralis muscle is a major structure that when augmented gives a male a much more muscular look. The chest can be augmented with pec implants . These are firm silicone implants that can be trimmed or customised to fit each individual patient's chest wall.
Although, implants will increase projection of the overlying pecs, they do not give definition to the pecs. This is only achieved through exercise.
