Breasts through the eyes of a plastic surgeon

If you say plastic surgery, most people in the lay or professional public think of surgery for cosmetic defects, treating burns or treating injuries to the face and hands. However, this is actually only part of a very broad field that includes the treatment of many congenital and acquired defects. One of the branches of plastic surgery is aesthetic surgery. Its task is to address various cosmetic defects, whether congenital or arising in the course of life, by which a person's appearance differs from the generally accepted norm or ideal of beauty and aesthetic perception. Aesthetic surgery also addresses the vast majority of cosmetic breast defects. Less frequently, he deals with the issue of breast reconstruction after removal for cancer. And that is why the book doc. MUDr. Jan Měšt'ák, CSc., who brings to her readers (and also to the readers) everything not only about cosmetic breast defects, but also about reconstruction after removal of cancer.
