Breast augmentation increases volume and enhances the shape of the breasts using silicone or saline implants. Implants come in various shapes and sizes to fit every woman’s proportions and aesthetic desires. Whether you are looking for a subtle, natural enhancement or highly augmented results, there is a breast implant appropriate for you and your needs. This procedure is popular among women of all ages, from those with naturally small breasts to women who have lost volume due to breastfeeding or weight loss.

Sagging breasts occur due to age, weight loss, heavy breasts, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. A breast lift, or mastopexy, restores perkier, more youthful-looking breasts by addressing skin and tissue laxity. Women can elevate and tighten their breasts for enhanced shape by eliminating weak skin and tightening underlying tissues. While this procedure does not significantly alter the size of the breasts, it is commonly combined with augmentation or reduction.

Following pregnancy and breastfeeding, particularly after multiple children, women lose volume and elasticity in their skin and tissues. A breast lift with augmentation (mastopexy augmentation) addresses deflated, sagging breasts by combining the traditional breast lift techniques with implants to provide more fullness to top of the breasts.

Breast reduction removes fat and glandular tissue for lighter, smaller, and more proportional breasts. This surgery is performed on women of all ages who struggle with oversized breasts and the physical and emotional pain that accompanies them. By reducing the size and weight of the breasts and lifting them to an elevated position, women can increase their comfort levels and self-confidence.

During many breast reductions, the nipple-areolar complex is moved to a higher, more central position on the breasts while remaining attached to the breast tissue and blood supply. During a free nipple graft breast reduction, the nipple-areolar complex is removed from the breast and reattached as a skin graft. This technique is most commonly used for women with very large or pendulous breasts who undergo significant reductions.

While implants are the most common way to enlarge the breasts, some women opt for a more natural alternative. Fat transfer to the breasts uses a patient’s fat tissues harvested from elsewhere in the body to increase breast fullness. This technique can be performed alone or with implants to enhance volume. Alone, this technique can usually enlarge the breasts a single cup size.

Men can experience the unwanted development of breast tissue and fat at any age. Gynecomastia surgery, or male breast reduction, is performed to flatten, sculpt, and define the chest by eliminating breast tissue and fat. This breast reduction procedure combines liposuction and excision methods to create a more masculine appearance.

Breast implant removal is a secondary breast procedure that permanently removes unwanted breast implants. Whether you have experienced a complication with your implants or your aesthetic desires have changed, and you no longer want augmented breasts, implant removal allows you to return to your natural contour. Many women who remove their implants without replacement opt for a breast lift to tighten and elevate their tissues.

Breast revision is a secondary breast procedure that allows women to fine-tune the results of their breast augmentation, whether they experience an implant complication or want to alter the size, shape, material, or position of their implants. This surgery removes the original breast implants and usually will replace them with new ones. Many times, a capsulectomy (removal of the surrounding capsule) or capsulorrhaphy (repair and recontouring of the breast pocket for more support) will be performed.
