What is mammoplasty primarily used for?

Breast reduction
Breast augmentation
Breast reconstruction
Breast lifting

The correct answer is: Breast augmentation

Mammoplasty is primarily associated with breast-related surgical procedures, and in the context of this question, it is most commonly identified with breast augmentation. This procedure involves increasing the size, shape, or fullness of the breasts, typically through the insertion of breast implants or by transferring fat to the breast area. While mammoplasty can encompass other forms, such as breast reduction and reconstruction, the term is most frequently linked with augmentation in cosmetic surgery contexts. Choices such as breast reduction, breast reconstruction, and breast lifting refer to different surgical aims and techniques, each addressing specific concerns such as decreasing breast size or restoring breast volume after mastectomy, but they do not capture the primary and broader usage of the term mammoplasty in relation to cosmetic enhancement.
