Breast Lift, Reduction and Reconstruction

Breast Lift- Over the years, factors such as pregnancy, nursing, and the force of gravity affect women breasts. As the skin loses its elasticity, the breasts often lose their shape and firmness and begin to sag. Breast lift, or Mastopexy, is a surgical procedure to raise and reshape sagging breasts. Mastopexy can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple. If your breasts are losing their shape and firmness and are sagging, mastopexy can help.

Breast Reduction - - 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. Unusually large breasts can make a women feel extremely self-conscious. Breast Reduction, or Reduction Mammaplasty, is designed for such women. The procedure removes fat, breast 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 a woman smaller, better-shaped breasts in proportion with the rest of her body.

Breast Reconstruction - Reconstruction of a breast that has been removed due to cancer or other disease is one of the most rewarding surgical procedures available today. New techniques and devices have made it possible for surgeons to create a breast that can come close in form and appearance to matching a natural breast. Frequently, reconstruction is possible immediately following breast removal (mastectomy). The non involved breast may also be lifted or reduced to better match the reconstructed breast. Reconstruction is commonly preformed with the patients own tissues from other parts of their body to avoid the un-natural feel and shape which may occur when implants are used.
