Breast Surgery

A breast lift with implants, also known as an augmentation mastopexy, combines a breast lift with implant augmentation. This breast surgery will improve contour, breast mound position, and breast mound volume, accentuating the uplifted shape of breasts that are drooping and deflated. Breast shape, position, and fullness can be improved by restoring youthful and perky breasts while increasing breast volume. The superior pedicled breast lift is mandatory for a breast lift with implant surgery. This is because the superior pedicled breast lift preserves the nipple-areola complex from the top of the breast since the lower breast pole will be compromised by the dissection required to place the breast implants. The most common feedback from patients undergoing a simultaneous breast lift with implants is that they notice upper pole fullness, which is impossible with a breast lift alone. In addition, the breast lift with implants eliminates all breast tissue and skin looseness, and nipple and areola sagging is not feasible with breast augmentation alone. The combined breast implant surgery and simultaneous breast lift procedure is probably the most technical cosmetic breast surgery performed today. Your healthcare provider's physical exam provides the most important determinant of breast implant size. This is because the breast lift surgery will remove approximately 25% of the breast volume. This loss of breast volume must be supplemented with the implant chosen to make up for the desired breast volume.

A mommy makeover encompasses many procedures to tighten and tone the body post-pregnancy. Breast augmentation is an attractive and desired breast surgery for women who want to have their breasts full again. A breast lift is an excellent choice for moms who have noticed the sagging of their breasts following breastfeeding. Finally, a breast lift with implants is a great choice for patients who have observed both deflation and drooping of their breasts. A tummy tuck will address the post-pregnancy changes in the abdominal region, tighten the abdominal muscles, narrow the waist, and eliminate unsightly and redundant skin. Finally, back, buttocks and thigh contouring can be performed as part of a high definition 360 body contouring procedure to transform the circumferential appearance of your entire body.

Breast reconstruction is the rebuilding of the breast tissues and appearance of the breasts following breast cancer surgery such as a mastectomy or lumpectomy. Initial breast reconstruction usually falls under implant-based or autologous flap reconstruction. Following the building of the breast mound properly, subsequent ancillary procedures may be recommended. Adjunct surgeries include:

• Creation of the nipple and areola complex
• Fine-tuning the breast contour with fat transfer
• Breast symmetry procedure to correct and improve the non-cancer side

The type and extent of reconstructive surgeries depend on the evaluation of your reconstructive surgeon, who must consider cancer surgeries performed, the presenting deformities, and medical necessity criteria such as cancer status. Selection criteria for the various surgeries require meticulous consideration and planning. In general, a mastectomy with reconstruction is more complicated than a lumpectomy with reconstruction.

Breast reduction is a type of breast surgery that reduces the overall size of the breasts. Breast reduction is made in cases where clients have excessively large breasts that sag and cause chronic pain to the upper back, neck, and shoulders. When this pain affects daily routine and work obligations and is not alleviated with the taking of anti-inflammatory medications and a supportive bra such as a sports bra, medical insurance may assist with compensation for this procedure. This procedure leads to not only smaller breasts but spontaneous pain relief. Breast augmentation patients identified during the taking of a medical history who may have changed their mind and desired breast volume reduction are not covered by insurance. but also lifted and firmer breasts, creating a more youthful appearance. Effective treatment should eliminate the extraneous torque placed on the shoulders and neck. Reducing the torque on the neck and shoulders is achieved by not only reducing the weight of the breasts but also lifting of the nipple and areolas higher on the chest and closer to your center of gravity.  Breast reduction patients should expect a 2 to a 3-cup reduction in breast size.

Male breast surgery may be done to de-feminize the male chest in cases of gynecomastia. This breast surgery removes excess fat and glandular tissue to flatten the chest and create a more masculine chest. Cases of male breast surgery arising from gynecomastia typically occur in overweight male patients, male patients displaying hormonal imbalance, or if they partake in the smoking of marijuana. Infrequently, male breast surgery must be supplemented with eliminating excessive skin. Excessive skin is eliminated using an inframammary crease excision to provide a well-camouflaged incision line. Conservative therapy for gynecomastia may involve VASER liposuction alone, eliminating excess fatty tissues and reducing glandular bulk. More aggressive therapy for gynecomastia may include the creation of the armor chest plate appearing chest that complements abdominal etching.
