Breast procedures

Enhance your curves and achieve the proportions you’ve always wanted. Breast augmentation with saline or silicone implants can increase breast size, restore
volume lost after pregnancy or weight loss, and correct asymmetry for a more balanced figure.

Is breast augmentation right for you?

• You want fuller, more proportionate breasts
• You’ve lost breast volume and want to restore it
• You want to improve breast symmetry

Your procedure: Breast augmentation is performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia and typically takes about 2 hours. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your aesthetic goals and help you choose between saline and silicone implants.

Saline implants are filled with sterile saline solution after placement, allowing for a slightly smaller incision.

Silicone implants are pre-filled with silicone gel that closely resembles the look and feel of natural breast tissue and won’t deflate if ruptured.

If sagging is also a concern, breast implants can be combined with a breast lift for enhanced volume and a firmer, lifted appearance.

Recovery and results: Most patients return to work within 1 to 2 weeks. You’ll see immediate results, with final positioning visible around 6 months as swelling subsides and implants settle. Mild swelling, bruising and tenderness are normal and managed with prescribed medication. You'll want to avoid heavy lifting and vigorous exercise for 4 to 6 weeks. 

Restore a firmer, more youthful breast profile. A breast lift (mastopexy) repositions and reshapes breasts that have sagged due to pregnancy, nursing or natural aging, creating a perkier, more elevated appearance. 

Is a breast lift right for you?

• Your breasts sag or have lost shape and volume
• Your nipples fall below the breast crease or point downward
• One breast is noticeably lower than the other
• You’re finished having children

Your procedure: Breast lifts are performed on an outpatient basis under general or local anesthesia and typically take about 2 hours. We offer three incision techniques based on your anatomy and goals. 

The anchor incision allows for comprehensive reshaping with incisions around the areolas, vertically down to the breast crease and horizontally along the crease.

The lollipop incision minimizes scarring by using only the circular and vertical incisions, eliminating the horizontal incision beneath the breast. 

The periareolar or “donut” incision offers minimal scarring with a single incision around the areola, ideal for patients needing modest lifting.

During a breast lift, we’ll remove excess skin, reposition breast tissue, resize stretched areolas if needed and center the nipples in their new position, creating a beautiful, natural result.

Recovery and results: Most patients return to work within a week, with sutures r moved within 1 to 2 weeks. You’ll see immediate improvement in breast position and shape, with a firmer texture and more youthful appearance. Normal physical activities can be gradually reintroduced over 4 to 6 weeks. While some scarring is expected, we can recommend scar reduction techniques to minimize their appearance.

Feel like yourself again after breast cancer treatment. Breast reconstruction rebuilds the breast mound following mastectomy or lumpectomy, helping you move forward with renewed self-confidence.

Is breast reconstruction right for you?

• You’ve undergone mastectomy or lumpectomy for breast cancer
• You want to restore breast symmetry and appearance
• You’re medically cleared by your oncologist to proceed

Your procedure: We offer two primary approaches tailored to your individual situation and treatment history.

Tissue expansion with breast implants is the most common technique. Tissue expanders are placed beneath your skin and chest muscle, then gradually filled with saline solution over several months to stretch the breast tissue. Once adequate expansion is achieved, the expander is replaced with a permanent breast implant.

Flap reconstruction uses tissue from other areas of your body — typically the abdomen, back or buttocks — to create a natural breast mound. This more complex approach provides long-lasting, natural-looking results.

If only one breast requires reconstruction, we may recommend a breast lift or reduction on the opposite breast to ensure symmetry.

Recovery and results: Depending on your procedure, you may need to stay in the hospital for several days. Drains and stitches typically remain in place for about a week. You’ll likely feel tired and sore initially, with swelling that gradually subsides. Avoid lifting and strenuous activity for 3 to 6 weeks. Your final results should closely mimic the shape, size and placement of your natural breast, helping you move forward with confidence after cancer treatment.

Find relief from discomfort and achieve a more proportionate silhouette. Breast reduction surgery removes excess tissue to alleviate back and neck pain while creating a figure that better matches your frame.

Is breast reduction right for you?

• You experience back, neck or shoulder pain from large breasts
• Large breasts limit your physical activity or cause skin irritation
• You want a more proportionate figure

Your procedure: Breast reduction can be performed in two ways. During your consultation, we’ll help you determine which approach best suits your goals and anatomy.

Traditional breast reduction removes excess breast tissue, fat and skin while reshaping and lifting the breast mound for a more proportionate, youthful profile. This outpatient procedure typically takes 2 to 4 hours under general anesthesia. We use the same incision techniques as a breast lift (anchor, lollipop or periareolar), with the approach determined by how much tissue needs to be removed and the degree of reshaping required.

Breast liposuction offers a “scarless” alternative for patients who primarily need fat removal with minimal reduction. This less invasive option targets fatty tissue through small incisions, can be performed under twilight sedation with local anesthesia, and leaves only a small, easily hidden scar under the breast fold. This approach works best when minimal skin removal is needed.

Recovery and results: After traditional breast reduction, you’ll need to sleep on your back and restrict strenuous activity for 4 to 6 weeks. Most patients return to work within 2 weeks. Sutures are removed over the first few weeks, and bruising and swelling typically resolve within 6 weeks. With liposuction-based reduction, you can resume normal activities as soon as you feel ready. Results should be long-lasting, and many patients experience reduced pain, increased ability to enjoy physical activity and an overall improvement in quality of life.
