Breast augmentation, technically
known as augmentation mammoplasty,
is a surgical procedure to enhance
the size and shape of a woman's
breast. By inserting an implant
behind each breast, surgeons are
able to increase a woman's bustline
by one or more bra cup sizes.
For many women, the result of
breast augmentation can be satisfying,
even exhilarating, as they learn
to appreciate their fuller appearance.

Over the years, factors such as
pregnancy, nursing, and the force
of gravity take their toll on
a woman's breasts. As the skin
loses its elasticity, the breasts
often lose their shape and firmness
and begin to sag. Breastlift,
or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure
to raise and reshape sagging breasts--at
least, for a time. (No surgery
can permanently delay the effects
of gravity.)

The best candidates
for mastopexy are healthy, emotionally-stable
women who are realistic about
what the surgery can accomplish.
The best results are usually
achieved in women with small,
sagging breasts. Breasts of
any size can be lifted, but
the results may not last as
long in heavy breasts. Contact
our office today to learn
more about this procedure.
Women with very large, pendulous
breasts may experience a variety
of medical problems caused by
the excessive weight-from back
and neck pain and skin irritation
to skeletal deformities and breathing
problems. Bra straps may leave
indentations in their shoulders.
And unusually large breasts can
make a woman-or a teenage girl-feel
extremely self-conscious.

Breast reduction, technically known
as reduction mammaplasty, is designed
for such women. The procedure removes
fat, glandular tissue, and skin
from the breasts, making them smaller,
lighter, and firmer. It can also
reduce the size of the areola, the
darker skin surrounding the nipple.
The goal is to give the woman smaller,
better-shaped breasts in proportion
with the rest of her body.
