Overview
Breast shape, symmetry and size significantly influence women’s psyche, if there is any deviation in generally recognized standard. Currently cosmetic breast defects belong to most common problems in the field of the aesthetic surgery. The target of the mammaplasty is the restoration of the shape, volume and position of the nippleareolar complex. One of the most important factors of the well-done surgery is the protection of the nippleareolar complex. The knowledge of the arterial blood supply and the venous drainage of the breast is the integral part of the successful surgery. In aesthetic breast surgeries it’s always necessary not to concentrate just at health aspect of mammaplasty, but mainly at the its psychological aspect, which has a significant role in whole process.
