1. Breast Augmentation for Enhanced Volume and Shape
Breast augmentation is among the most popular cosmetic surgical procedures done in the U.S. — and for good reason. It enhances the size, shape and symmetry of the breasts using silicone or saline implants.
This procedure is ideal if you want to:
- Increase breast volume
- Restore fullness after pregnancy or weight loss
- Improve breast symmetry
- Enhance cleavage or upper pole fullness
Breast implants come in various sizes, shapes and profiles to help you achieve a look that’s natural or bold, depending on your preference. Fat transfers can either be used as an adjunct to further refine your breast augmentation results or as an excellent option for those seeking a subtle, natural enhancement using their body’s tissue.
2. Breast Lift (Mastopexy) for a Youthful Contour
A breast lift is designed to correct breast sagging by removing excess skin, reshaping the breast tissue and elevating it and the nipple-areola complex to a more youthful position.
You may benefit from a breast lift if you:
- Have sagging or drooping breasts due to age, weight loss or pregnancy
- Notice stretched or downward-pointing nipples
- Want to restore firmness and a perky shape without increasing volume
A breast lift does result in some reduction of overall breast size. However, it can noticeably improve projection and balance by repositioning the existing tissue.
3. Breast Augmentation with a Lift for Comprehensive Rejuvenation
Combining breast implants with a lift addresses both volume loss and sagging in a single procedure. This approach is ideal for patients who want to:
- Rejuvenate aging or deflated breasts
- Add fullness while improving breast position
- Achieve more dramatic, impactful results with a desirable profile
This is the ideal for women with droopy, smaller breasts who want to increase their size as well as realize a more youthful and attractive appearance.
4. Breast Reduction to Relieve Discomfort and Refine Shape
Breast reduction surgery (reduction mammoplasty) removes excess breast tissue, fat and skin to create smaller, more proportionate breasts. It also involves lifting and reshaping the breast for a more aesthetically pleasing contour.
It’s often chosen by individuals who:
- Experience neck, shoulder or back pain due to heavy breasts
- Have difficulty finding clothing that fits properly
- Want smaller, perkier and more manageable breasts
- Don’t want their breasts to define them
- Want to reduce the amount of unwanted attention or comments related to their large breasts
In many cases, breast reduction can improve physical comfort and quality of life while also enhancing appearance.
5. Inverted Nipple Correction for Aesthetic and Functional Benefits
Inverted nipples are a common concern that can be corrected with a minor surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia. This quick treatment releases the fibrous tissue causing the inversion, allowing the nipple to project outward.
Inverted nipple correction may be suitable if you:
- Have one or both nipples that appear flat or pulled inward
- Are seeking improvement in breast aesthetics
- Want a subtle but impactful enhancement with minimal downtime
- Want to feel more “whole” or “normal”
Choose the Right Procedure for Your Goals
Each cosmetic breast surgery has distinct benefits, and some patients may benefit from a combination of procedures. To determine the best approach, consider:
- Your goals (volume, lift, reduction or correction)
- Your body type and skin quality
- Past surgeries or pregnancies
- Your surgeon’s recommendations
Reference photos, honest communication and a clear understanding of your goals will help your surgeon create a personalized surgical plan.
