Breast Procedures

Women may decide to undergo plastic surgery to enlarge or reduce their breasts, to achieve a balance in size or shape for their breasts, or to reconstruct one or both breasts after mastectomy. Whatever the motivation, breast surgery is safer and easier now than ever before. Please review the list of services we provide to help you make an informed decision and achieve the most satisfying results.

Vertical Breast Lift

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is performed to return youthful shape and lift to breasts that have sagged as a result of weight loss, pregnancy, loss of the skin's natural elasticity or simply the effects of gravity. The procedure can also reduce areolar size (the dark skin surrounding the nipple), and it can be combined with breast augmentation for added volume and firmness. Breasts of any size can be lifted, but results last longest when they are originally small and sagging. Mastopexy may be performed in a hospital, an outpatient surgery center or a surgeon's office-based facility. It is usually done under general anesthesia, and lasts from one to three hours.

Peri-Areolar Breast Lift

Breast Lift | Boca Raton | Delray Beach | Boynton Beach A peri-areolar breast lift is performed on women who have experienced breast sagging as a result of pregnancy, breastfeeding, aging, and gravity. A peri-areolar breast lift procedure refers to a special technique used in mastopexy surgery that has less scarring than other breast lift procedures. The procedure involves an incision around the areola where the surgeon will then be able to tighten the breast tissue in all directions by removing excess skin. The peri-areolar breast lift procedure can also enhance breast appearance by reducing the size of the areola and repositioning the nipple. A peri-areolar breast lift procedure is most appropriate for women with a small degree of breast and/or nipple malposition.

Post-Mastectomy Breast Reconstruction

Breast Reconstruction | Boca Raton | Delray Beach | Boynton Beach Modern surgical technology makes it possible to construct a natural-looking breast after mastectomy (breast removal) for cancer or other diseases. The procedure is commonly begun and sometimes completed immediately following mastectomy, so that the patient wakes with a new breast mound. Alternatively, reconstruction may begin years after mastectomy. There are several ways to reconstruct the breast, both with and without implants; your surgeon(s) should work together with you in deciding which is the best for you. Breast reconstruction has not been proven to affect the recurrence of cancer or other diseases, chemotherapy or radiation treatment.
