Breast Enlargement
This breast procedure is more commonly known as breast augmentation. It focuses on increasing the size and enhancing the fullness of the breasts while improving the symmetry and aesthetics of the breasts. Breast augmentation surgery often involves breast implants; the patient can choose their preferred implants.
Breast Lift
Breast lift surgery is the answer to sagging breasts. This procedure allows women to improve breast shape, symmetry, and firmness, regaining the youthful appearance of their breasts. It is perfect for women with drooping breasts due to aging, after pregnancy or breastfeeding, or after significant weight loss.
Breast Reduction
Not everyone desires to have large breasts. Many women are unhappy with their oversized breasts due to pain and discomfort, posture issues, rashes beneath the breasts, and other physical issues. Breast reduction surgery is the ideal breast procedure for these patients, reducing the weight of the breasts to improve proportion.
Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
Breast implants are not the only breast augmentation option to increase breast size. Fat transfer breast augmentation is a great alternative for women who want to increase their breast size but do not want foreign objects like implants inside their bodies. It is suitable for women with sufficient excess fat to be transferred into their breasts to enhance fullness.
Breast Implant Removal/Exchange
Women can choose to have their breast implants removed, restoring their original breast appearance. Some women also prefer to update or replace the breast implants they have had for years. Breast implant removal or exchange surgery is their recommended option.
Breast Implant Illness
Breast implant illness occurs when women experience varying degrees of complications due to their breast implants. We provide comprehensive implant removal services to safely remove the implants that may be causing pain and other health conditions.
Gynecomastia (Male Breast Reduction)
Men may develop large male breasts due to genetics, puberty, obesity, and other causes. It may greatly reduce their self-esteem and sense of masculinity. Gynecomastia surgery can effectively reduce their breasts for a flatter and more masculine chest.
Nipple Surgery
Some patients have inverted nipples, while others develop abnormally long or wide nipples. Nipple surgery can fix these issues and help the patient achieve their ideal nipple appearance.
Revision Breast Surgery
Not all breast augmentation surgeries produce ideal results. Some women are not satisfied with the results of their breast procedure, or they may be experiencing issues resulting from a primary breast augmentation, such as capsular contracture or implant malposition. Revision breast surgery is a corrective procedure for these situations.
FAQs About Breast Procedures
How Do I Choose the Right Size and Type of Breast Implants?
Selecting breast implants involves considering body type, aesthetic goals, and lifestyle. Silicone implants feel more natural, while saline ones offer post-surgery size adjustment. Implant shape is vital for the desired look. Consultation with a certified surgeon like Dr. White ensures a tailored choice for the best results.
What is the Difference Between a Breast Lift and Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation focuses on increasing the size of the breasts using implants. In contrast, a breast lift (mastopexy) aims to reshape and reposition the breasts to a more youthful and perky appearance without necessarily altering their size. It makes a breast lift ideal for those seeking to correct sagging, lost volume post-pregnancy, or weight changes.
Understanding the types of breast cosmetic surgery available can help you make an informed decision based on your cosmetic goals. You can learn more about them if you consult with Dr. White, a plastic surgeon with decades of experience under her belt.
Can Breast Surgery Affect My Ability to Breastfeed?
The impact of breast surgery on breastfeeding varies with the type of procedure and the surgical technique used. Incisions made away from the nipple area (periareolar) are less likely to affect milk ducts and nerves. Discussing your future breastfeeding plans with Dr. White is crucial to ensuring that the surgical approach is tailored to minimize any potential impact.
How Long Does It Take to See Results from Breast Surgery?
While initial results are visible immediately, the final outcome of breast surgery may take several months to fully materialize as swelling subsides and the tissues settle. Patience is key; it may take up to a year to see the complete results of your procedure.
Will Breast Surgery Leave Scars?
All surgeries involve some degree of scarring, but the visibility can vary based on the procedure, your skin type, and the surgeon’s technique. Incisions are typically placed in inconspicuous locations to minimize their appearance, and with proper post-operative care, scars can fade significantly over time.
Can Breast Procedures Be Combined with Other Surgeries?
Combining breast procedures with other surgeries, such as a tummy tuck or liposuction, is often safe and can provide more comprehensive results. This approach requires careful consideration of your overall health, recovery time, and the specific combination of procedures to ensure safety and efficacy.
How Long Does a Breast Lift Last?
The results of a breast lift can be long-lasting, with many patients enjoying their new contour for years. However, factors such as aging, gravity, and weight changes can influence the lift’s longevity. Maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle can help extend the results.
