Breast Augmentation
Details
Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, breast enlargement or breast implants, is a cosmetic surgery procedure to increase breast size and enhance breast shape, typically through the placement of silicone or saline breast implants, or in some cases, fat transfer. The ultimate goal of breast augmentation is to enhance a patient’s natural proportions and create a more symmetrical, aesthetically pleasing breast profile.
Downtime
You can expect 5-10 days of downtime
Who is a good candidate?
- Non-smokers
- Individuals 18-65+ years old in generally good health without conditions that impair wound healing
- Individuals who lost shape and volume after pregnancy, weight loss or with aging
- Individuals with a positive outlook and realistic expectations
Recovery
Breast augmentation is an outpatient procedure, typically performed using general anesthesia. You can expect to walk around on your own a few hours after surgery. You may feel sore the first week or so, and you will need to limit strenuous exercise for about 2-4 weeks. Breast augmentation patients can expect 6 weeks of lifting restrictions.
Breast Lift
Details
A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, raises the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new breast contour. A breast lift can rejuvenate your figure with a breast profile that is more youthful and uplifted. A woman's breasts often change over time, losing their youthful shape and firmness. A breast lift can help restore changes and loss of skin elasticity from pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, aging, gravity, and heredity.
Downtime
You can expect 7-10 days of downtime
Who is a good candidate?
- Non-smokers
- Individuals 18-65 years old in generally good health without conditions that impair wound healing
- Individuals with a positive outlook and realistic expectations
Recovery
Breast lift surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure using general anesthesia. You will need to limit exercise other than walking for the first 2-6 weeks after a breast lift; your cosmetic surgeon will provide you with detailed instructions about when it is safe to resume any activity. Patients can expect 2 weeks of lifting restrictions.
Gynecomastia Repair
Details
A male breast reduction is the most effective known treatment for gynecomastia or enlarged male breasts. This cosmetic surgery procedure removes excess fat and glandular tissue to restore a flatter, firmer and more masculine contour to the chest. If you are uncomfortable or self-conscious about the appearance of your chest, or if you find yourself avoiding certain activities because you are afraid to show your chest, male breast reduction is an option to consider.

Who is a good candidate?
- Non-smokers
- Healthy male individuals without conditions that impair wound healing

Recovery
While every patient’s healing process is unique, most patients feel ready to return to work just a few days after a male breast reduction, depending on the nature of their work. Some men experience a loss of sensation in the treated areas after a male breast reduction, but this is almost always temporary.
