This comprehensive plastic surgery manual on breast reshaping explains in detail the various surgical procedures carried out to increase the aesthetic appearance of the breast. Today, the surgical management of the breast crosses the lines of gender. Male breast or gynaecomastia is an equally vexing problem for the young as well as the old alike. This volume discusses the surgical management of this aesthetic nightmare in a step-by-step manner with photographs, illustrations, schematics, and short videos. This book comprehensively covers the four primary conditions requiring surgical breast reshaping. The first is a small breast, requiring solutions including fat grafting or a US FDA-approved cohesive silicone gel implant. This is a very gratifying procedure, providing immediate results with little or no downtime. This volume also covers essential topics such as breast reduction in young and older patients, which is a very challenging operation for most surgeons, particularly recent graduates. This volume also deals with the complexities of this procedure, considering all the factors that will help the reader have a successful outcome. It contains essential chapters on the situation of post-pregnancy when the women experience the ‘post-partum blues’ secondary to dysmorphic changes to the body, particularly the Breast and its management. It also explains the commonly encountered complications, pitfalls, and valuable recommendations stemming from experienced authors.
