[Esthetic surgery of the breast].
The aesthetic surgery of the breast goes from one side to the other: make it bigger if it is too small, make it smaller if it is too big, tighten the skin if it falls. The situation is very complex because of the facts that these disgraces can be associated with different levels of severity, and that woman has two breasts each one often different from the other. But, if natural asymmetry is found so often, the surgeon should not reproduce it. Some problems cannot be solved yet: long time tolerance to the breast implants, unknowledge of the way the skin would heal, a very important factor for the reduction plasties. This surgery is a balance with two dishes: for example, the result that we are waiting for must not to be spoiled by a too big scar to obtain a small cosmetic benefit. The indications to operate should be given after they have been judged carefully and notified the patient very clearly about the advantages, inconveniences and expected complications.
