Breast augmentation, encompassing breast lifts and reduction procedures, enhances the breast's size, shape, and symmetry, helping individuals achieve their desired aesthetic goals with natural-looking results.

A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to elevate and reshape sagging breasts, giving them a more youthful and firmer appearance. This popular breast enhancement technique is often sought after by women who have experienced changes in breast shape and firmness due to factors like pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or aging. During a breast lift, excess skin is removed, and breast tissue is repositioned to create a more lifted and rejuvenated contour. The result is natural-looking, perky breasts that can boost confidence and self-esteem. If you're considering a breast lift, consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your individual needs and goals.

Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring the shape and appearance of the breast following a mastectomy (breast removal) or a significant breast tissue loss due to injury or congenital conditions. There are two primary approaches to breast reconstruction: autologous and implant-based.

1. Autologous Breast Reconstruction:

Autologous breast reconstruction, also known as flap reconstruction, utilizes the patient's own tissue from other areas of their body, such as the abdomen (TRAM or DIEP flap), buttocks (SGAP or IGAP flap), or back (Latissimus dorsi flap). These flaps are transferred to the chest to create a natural-looking breast mound. Autologous reconstruction tends to provide a more natural feel and appearance but requires a longer recovery period and may leave scars at both the donor and recipient sites.

2. Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction:

Implant-based breast reconstruction involves the use of breast implants to recreate the breast shape. This approach is typically quicker with a shorter recovery time compared to autologous reconstruction. It may involve either a two-stage process, where tissue expanders are initially placed and later replaced with permanent implants, or a one-stage direct-to-implant approach, depending on the patient's circumstances and preferences. Implant-based reconstruction may not provide the same natural feel as autologous reconstruction but offers a less invasive option.

Both autologous and implant-based breast reconstruction procedures have their pros and cons, and the choice depends on factors like a patient's medical history, body type, and personal preferences. A consultation with our skilled plastic surgeon can help determine the most suitable reconstruction option based on your needs and goals.
