Breast Removal/Implant Exchange
Women may choose to have a breast implant removal or exchange due to implant aging, lifestyle changes, or medical reasons such as capsular contracture or rupture. Some patients opt for smaller or different-shaped implants, while others choose to remove implants entirely for a more natural look.
The surgery involves carefully removing the existing implants, and if necessary, adjusting the breast tissue to maintain a natural contour. Some women choose to combine implant removal with a breast lift (mastopexy) for a firmer, more youthful appearance. Recovery is generally straightforward, and patients can enjoy a refreshed, natural breast shape that aligns with their current aesthetic goals.
Breast augmentation, also known as breast enlargement or augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance breast size, shape, and symmetry using breast implants or fat transfer. Many women choose breast augmentation to restore volume lost after pregnancy or weight loss, achieve a more proportionate figure, or improve self-confidence.
The procedure involves placing silicone or saline implants either above or below the chest muscle through discreet incisions, typically in the breast crease or around the areola. Fat transfer breast augmentation is an alternative option for those seeking a more natural enhancement using their own body fat. Results are long-lasting, with fuller, more balanced breasts that complement the patient’s natural proportions.
Breast Reduction
For women experiencing discomfort from overly large breasts, breast reduction surgery offers both physical relief and cosmetic enhancement. Heavy breasts can cause back, neck, and shoulder pain, along with skin irritation and posture issues. Breast reduction surgery helps achieve a lighter, more proportionate bust, improving comfort and self-confidence.
The procedure involves removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, while reshaping the breasts for a smaller, more lifted appearance. The areola may also be resized and repositioned for a balanced, natural look. Recovery is generally smooth, and patients often experience immediate relief from physical discomfort with long-term aesthetic and functional benefits.
Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a procedure designed to lift and reshape sagging breasts, restoring a more youthful and perky appearance. Over time, factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and aging can lead to loss of skin elasticity and breast drooping.
During a breast lift, excess skin is removed, and the breast tissue is reshaped to achieve a firmer, lifted contour. The nipple and areola may also be repositioned and made smaller for a more natural, youthful look. Mastopexy can be performed alone or combined with breast augmentation for patients seeking both volume and lift. The result is a rejuvenated breast shape, with a more uplifted and symmetrical profile.
Areola Reduction
An areolar reduction is a cosmetic procedure designed to resize and reshape enlarged areolas, creating a more proportionate breast appearance. Some women naturally have larger areolas, while others experience stretching after pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or breast surgery.
During the procedure, a small amount of tissue is removed from the outer areola, and the remaining skin is sutured for a smaller, more balanced shape. Areolar reduction can be performed alone or in combination with a breast lift, breast augmentation, or breast reduction. Results are permanent, with a more harmonious breast appearance and minimal scarring.
Gynecomastia Surgery (Male Breast Reduction)
Gynecomastia is a condition where men develop excess breast tissue, often due to hormonal imbalances, genetics, weight gain, or certain medications. Male breast reduction surgery is a highly effective solution, helping men achieve a flatter, more sculpted chest and improved body confidence.
The procedure involves removing excess fat and glandular tissue using liposuction and/or surgical excision, depending on the severity of gynecomastia. Incisions are typically small and discreet, and recovery is relatively quick. Patients achieve a more masculine, contoured chest, with long-lasting results.
