Breast Augmentation
(Augmentation Mammaplasty)

 Breast augmentation is a very popular procedure for women and among the most commonly performed cosmetic surgery procedures.  A saline-filled or silicone gel filled implant is inserted under the crease in the breast.  The implant can be placed under the breast tissue or beneath the chest wall muscle.  After surgery, breasts will appear "fuller" and more shapely in contour.  Incision scars will fade over time.  We use advanced pain management techniques which can greatly reduce the postoperative pain that can sometimes be associated with this surgery.

Breast Lift
(Mastopexy)

Over time, the effects of gravity along with the loss of the skin's natural elasticity begins to have a negative impact on the appearance of a woman's breasts.  These factors, combined with pregnancies and nursing will often cause the breasts to lose their youthful shape and firmness.

A breastlift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure to raise and reshape sagging breasts.  The procedure can also reduce the size of the areola (the darker skin surrounding the nipple).  Breast implants inserted in conjunction with a mastopexy procedure can increase both firmness and size.

Breast Reconstruction
(After Mastectomy Surgery)

Reconstruction of the breast after a mastectomy due to cancer or other disease is quite possible with today's surgical procedures.  Using the newest  techniques, a plastic surgeon is often able to create a breast that is similar in form and appearance to that of the natural breast.  A consultation will provide you with information on the many available options for post-mastectomy breast reconstruction.

Breast Reduction
(Reduction Mammaplasty)

Large, pendulous breasts may cause a woman to experience various medical problems caused by the excessive weight of the breast tissue.  Problems with posture, skeletal deformities, back and neck pain, and skin irritations are common with this condition.  Bra straps often leave indentations in the shoulder area.  Many women, starting as early as the teenage years, are very self-conscious if they have unusually large breasts.

Breast reduction (reduction mammaplasty) removes fat, glandular tissue, and excessive skin, resulting in smaller, lighter and firmer breasts that are better-shaped in proportion to the rest of the body.

Gynecomastia
(male breast reduction)

Although rarely discussed, enlarged male breasts is a common condition.  Gynecomastia affects approximately 40 to 60 percent of men.  There is often no known cause for gynecomastia, although there has been some correlation with various drugs or medical conditions.
