Introduction
Every woman’s body is unique—and so are her goals. Some seek a fuller shape. Others want to reduce size for comfort. Many wish to reverse the effects of age, pregnancy, or weight changes. That’s why breast surgery in Egypt has evolved into a highly personalized field of care.
At the center of this transformation is Dr. Mohamed Hemida, a fellowship-trained plastic surgeon who offers tailored breast procedures that deliver natural, proportionate, and lasting results.
In this article, we’ll compare the three most common breast procedures:
- Breast Enhancement (Volume Increase)
- Breast Reduction (Size Decrease)
- Breast Lift (Reshaping and Repositioning)
You’ll learn the differences, indications, and what to expect—so you can make the right decision for your body and your life.
Why Consider Breast Surgery?
The chest area is not just about aesthetics. It affects:
- Body proportion and symmetry
- Posture and spinal comfort
- Clothing fit
- Physical activity
- Emotional wellbeing and self-esteem
When the size, shape, or position of the breasts feels mismatched with your identity or comfort, surgical solutions offer transformative change—backed by safety, ethics, and precision.
1. Breast Enhancement: Restoring or Adding Volume
Breast enhancement (also called volume increase or reshaping) is ideal for women who:
- Feel their breasts are naturally small or underdeveloped
- Have lost volume due to aging, weight loss, or pregnancy
- Want more symmetrical or rounder contours
- Seek more balance between upper and lower body
How It Works:
- A high-quality, medically approved implant is placed under or over the chest muscle
- The size and shape are selected based on body proportions, not trends
- Incisions are discreet and chosen based on your anatomy
Techniques Used by Dr. Hemida:
- Under-the-muscle placement for natural movement and less visible edges
- Modern incision methods to minimize scarring
- Pre-surgical consultation with 3D visualization
Key Benefits:
- Boosts confidence and clothing fit
- Restores body symmetry
- Long-lasting results with natural appearance
Patients describe this procedure as “life-changing” and “surprisingly natural-looking,” especially when performed with subtlety and balance.
2. Breast Reduction: Relieving Physical and Emotional Discomfort
For many women, overly large breasts can lead to back pain, skin irritation, posture issues, and self-consciousness. Breast reduction surgery addresses these concerns directly.
Indications:
- Physical discomfort (back, neck, shoulder pain)
- Grooves in shoulders from bra straps
- Difficulty with exercise or physical activity
- Unwanted attention or self-image struggles
- Skin irritation under the breast fold
How It Works:
- Removes excess breast tissue, fat, and stretched skin
- Lifts and reshapes the chest to a more proportionate size
- Repositions the nipple to a natural, youthful position
- Balanced outcomes for both sides
Key Benefits:
- Immediate relief from pain and discomfort
- Improved body proportions
- More freedom in movement, style, and self-expression
Dr. Hemida performs this surgery with extra care to maintain symmetry, sensation, and natural shape.
3. Breast Lift: Reversing Sagging and Restoring Youthful Position
Aging, pregnancy, gravity, and weight fluctuations often cause breasts to droop or lose firmness. A breast lift (mastopexy) is designed to restore the chest to a more youthful and elevated position—without necessarily changing size.
Indications:
- Downward-pointing nipples
- Loose or stretched skin
- Loss of firmness
- Asymmetry
- “Empty” or flattened upper breast
How It Works:
- Removes excess skin
- Tightens the surrounding tissue
- Lifts and repositions the breast mound
- Repositions the areola to a higher, central point
A lift can be performed alone or combined with an enhancement or reduction depending on your needs.
Key Benefits:
- Creates a perkier, more lifted shape
- Enhances profile and upper chest fullness
- Restores youthful contour without looking artificial

Breast Surgery FAQs
Q: Will there be scars?
