  • Breast augmentation (Breast implants)

    The Breast augmentation, or Augmentation mammoplasty procedure, enlarges your breast. This can be done with either silicone or saline implants, as well as using your own fat. High profile implants can be used if the patient wants more upper pole fullness in the breast. Patients select their size and shape at the pre-op consult.

  • Breast lift (Mastopexy)

    A Breast lift removes some of the skin and raises the nipple and breast tissue, which results in a lifting and firming of the breasts. The incision can be placed hidden in the areolar nipple border, or it can be done with a vertical scar if the breasts are large.

  • Gynecomastia surgery (Male breast reduction)

    Gynecomastia, also commonly referred to as *man boobs*, is an enlargement of breast tissue in men. Gynecomastia surgery, also referred to as *male breast reduction*, is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures requested by men. While some men requesting this surgery are overweight, many are not. The procedure can be performed under local or IV anesthesia and return to work is usually 1 week.

  • Breast lift with implants

    This procedure combines a Breast lift with a Breast augmentation in a single operative session. The lift is used to reposition the breast higher on the chest while the implant is used to give upper pole fullness. Durasorb or Galaflex internal bra mesh can be used for added support.
