Breast Enhancement: Far Beyond Augmentation
Breast Enhancement: Far Beyond Augmentation
Breast Enhancement Defined
The term "breast enhancement" does not refer to a single procedure. It is a term applied to a group of procedures, surgeries to improve breast appearance. Although breast augmentation has generally been the most well-known of the breast enhancement procedures, there are other options that can be equally beneficial. These other breast enhancements include breast lift and breast reduction. For some women, they can be truly life-changing.
Breast Lift
Women who have lost weight, women who have had a child, women who are seeing the effects of the aging process these patients are good candidates for breast lift surgery. Long Island women often combine a breast lift with other procedures. These include:
Breast augmentation for a look that is both youthful and voluptuous.
Tummy tuck and/or liposuction often as part of a Mommy Makeover.
Body lift a popular option after weight loss.
The Breast Lift Procedure
At my practice, breast lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure (not in a hospital). This is where the uniformity ends; the rest of the procedure is personalized for each specific patient based on goals and anatomy.
We will determine incision locations during your pre-surgical appointment. After these incisions are made, excess skin is removed, the breast is reshaped, breasts are lifted, and the nipple/areola will be positioned higher on the breast.
Breast Reduction
Many women are envious of others with large breasts. The truth, however, is that many large-breasted women have a different perspective. If asked, they could discuss the physical and emotional discomfort that their overly large breasts have caused. And they would probably express their desire to be able to wear form-fitting clothing, go for a jog, work out at the gym, and end their back/shoulder/neck pain. With breast reduction, they can.
The Breast Reduction Procedure
As with breast lift surgery, breast reduction is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia. I usually begin with an incision around the areola, down to the breast crease, and along the breast crease (an anchor incision). There are other incision options that women can discuss with their surgeon during their consultation. Through the incision, excess skin, breast tissue, and fat are removed. The nipple and areola may also be repositioned. When surgery and recovery are complete, women can expect to see breasts that are smaller, firmer, and shapelier.
Breast Reduction for Men
Although the vast majority of patients I see for breast enhancement are Long Island women, overly large breasts can be a concern for men as well. Breast reduction ("gynecomastia surgery") can also be performed for men. The procedure is different from the techniques I use for women; for example, I may be able to use liposuction alone to achieve the desired result.
