The shape of your breasts can change in ways we don’t always expect. For some people, it happens after pregnancy or breastfeeding. For others, it’s years of weight fluctuations, gravity, or just time slowly shifting things around.
One day, you notice your clothes don’t fit quite the same, or that your breasts don’t sit the way they used to. And that’s usually when the question starts forming in your head: what can I do about it?
For many people, breast surgery comes from a desire to feel balanced and comfortable again. That’s exactly what Dr. Mark Bosbous at Milwaukee Plastic Surgery helps women achieve.
In this article, we’ve gone over some of the most common breast procedures and the results they can help you get.
When You Want More Volume
Some women lose fullness over time from things like pregnancy, weight loss, or good ol’ aging. To address this, a popular surgery worldwide is breast augmentation.
Breast augmentation can help bring back shape and projection in a way that feels natural to you. The procedure involves placing an implant to improve volume and definition, with the implant’s size, shape, and texture chosen to match your body’s proportions and goals.
Patients are usually surprised by how adjustable this surgery can be. A surgeon will choose the type of implant and its placement based entirely on your anatomy and preference, and when done thoughtfully, the results blend naturally with your body, looking balanced rather than exaggerated.
When You Want Less Weight
Breast reduction is one of the most relieving procedures available. For women who have dealt with chronic back pain, shoulder grooves from bra straps, or clothes that never fit properly, this surgery can make daily life feel easier. It removes extra breast tissue and reshapes the area to suit the frame more comfortably.
The reason why a person may choose to get a breast reduction goes beyond appearance. Patients often sleep better, move more freely, and experience an immediate sense of lightness afterward. The change can be life-improving in ways that go far beyond what’s visible in the mirror.
When You Want a Different Shape
For some patients, the issue isn’t necessarily volume, but the way your breasts sit on your body. During a breast lift procedure, a surgeon repositions existing tissue and tightens loose skin, restoring a more youthful contour without increasing size. It’s common after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight changes that stretch the skin and alter the breast’s shape.
When It’s Time for a Revision
As life changes, so do preferences, and some women decide to revise previous surgeries for personal or physical reasons. Breast revision can involve replacing implants, removing them, or adjusting their placement for a better fit, and it’s also an opportunity to correct shifting tissue or improve symmetry.
Revision procedures are based on each person’s history and desired results, and can be an important step in matching your appearance with how you feel at the stage of life you’re at right now.
When You’re Rebuilding
A procedure designed for women who have had a mastectomy, breast reconstruction is part of emotional and physical recovery, which can significantly improve their well-being. During the procedure, a surgeon can use either an implant or the body’s own tissue to restore shape and symmetry.
Each reconstruction is highly individualized. It requires skill, care, and sensitivity to the emotional side of healing. The process helps restore confidence after a major change and allows women to recognize themselves again in the mirror.
