Popular Breast Procedures
Breast augmentation enhances the size and contour of the breasts, creating a fuller, more proportionate silhouette. Patients can choose from a variety of implant types, including saline and silicone gel implants, each offering distinct benefits. Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater and allow for adjustable volume, while silicone gel implants are known for their natural look and feel. Options also include cohesive gel (“gummy bear”) implants, which maintain their shape and provide added structural integrity. In addition to implant type, considerations such as shape, size, and placement are carefully selected to achieve a balanced, natural result.
Breast implant removal, or explant surgery, is performed for patients who wish to remove or replace their implants due to personal preference, lifestyle changes, or medical concerns. This procedure may be combined with a breast lift to restore a natural contour and address any skin laxity following implant removal.
Breast lift, or mastopexy, addresses sagging and loss of firmness by repositioning the breast tissue and elevating the nipple to a more youthful position. This procedure reshapes and supports the breast without significantly changing its size, though it can be combined with augmentation or reduction for more comprehensive results.
Breast reconstruction restores the shape and appearance of the breast following mastectomy, lumpectomy, or trauma. Using advanced techniques, reconstruction may involve implants, autologous tissue (using the patient’s own tissue), or a combination of both. The goal is to recreate a natural-looking breast while supporting physical and emotional recovery.
Breast reduction surgery alleviates discomfort associated with overly large breasts, including back, neck, and shoulder pain, as well as skin irritation and posture issues. By removing excess tissue and reshaping the breasts, this procedure creates a lighter, more proportionate contour while improving overall comfort and mobility.
