Mammoplasty of another type has its own indications. So, reduction mammoplasty is done in case of an excessively large breast size, which creates a high load on one’s spine and its curvature. A lift is performed when the breast has lost its elasticity and shape due to age-related changes, after breastfeeding or drastic fluctuations in body weight. For all types of the breast plastic surgery, the indication is asymmetry. Another important point is the internal psychological condition of a woman. If she has small breasts, but it does not cause complexes and emotional discomfort, there is no reason to resort to plastic surgery.
