Breast surgery is a form of surgery performed on the breast. Breast surgery is a procedure that modifies a woman's or man’s breasts. Such surgeries are done for a variety of reasons. Some are done for cosmetic reasons, such as to reconstruct the breast to look more youthful or increase its size. Others are medically necessary such as a breast reduction for back pain or surgery to remove cancer. There are medical reasons for needing breast surgery, such as breast cancer, non-cancerous breast lumps, and breast reduction surgery to help get rid of back pain. There are also cosmetic reasons, such as the personal desire to have a different size, appearance, or shape of the breast.
