Corrective surgery may be performed on healthy breasts. A plastic surgery revision of the breast is referred to as a mammoplasty. If the breast is to be made larger, the term augmentation mammoplasty is used; if the breast is to be made smaller, the appropriate term is reduction mammoplasty. Mastectomy is surgical removal of a breast.
Following breast surgery, reconstructive mammoplasty is often done.
