Breast Augmentation

The Procedure:
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to enhance the size and shape of a woman's breast for a number of reasons:

• to enhance the body contour of a woman, who for personal reasons, feels her breast size is too small
• to correct a reduction in breast volume after pregnancy
• to balance a difference in breast size
• as a reconstructive technique following breast surgery

Mastopexy & Lifts

The Procedure:
Over the years, factors such as pregnancy, nursing, and the force of gravity take their toll on a woman's breasts. As the skin loses its elasticity, the breasts often lose their shape and firmness and begin to sag. A breast lift or Mastopexy is a surgical procedure to raise and reshape sagging breasts. Mastopexy can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple. If your breasts are small or have lost volume, for example, breast implants inserted in conjunction with mastopexy can increase both their firmness and their size. more...

Female Breast Reductions

The Procedure:
Women with very large, pendulous breasts may experience a variety of medical problems like back and neck pain, poor posture, breathing problems, bra-strap skin irritations and chafing under the breasts. Breast reduction, or reduction mammaplasty, is designed for such women. The procedure removes fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the breasts, making them smaller, lighter and firmer. It can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple. The goal is to give the woman smaller, better-shaped breasts in proportion with the rest of her body. more...

Breast Reconstruction

The Procedure:
Reconstruction of a breast that has been removed due to cancer or other disease is one of the most rewarding surgical procedures available today. New medical techniques and devices have made it possible for surgeons to create a breast that can come close in form and appearance to matching a natural breast. Frequently, reconstruction is possible immediately following breast removal (mastectomy), so the patient wakes up with a breast mound already in place. Your oncologist and your surgeon will give you specific instructions on how to prepare for surgery. more...
