Breast augmentation

Breast enhancement surgery is a procedure performed on women who desire fuller, shapelier breasts. Breast augmentation can correct asymmetries of the breast or restore natural breast volume that may have decreased following pregnancy.

Breast lift

Over the years, factors such as pregnancy, nursing, weight loss, and the force of gravity can change the appearance of a woman's breasts. As the skin loses elasticity, the breasts often lose their shape and firmness and begin to sag. A breast lift is a surgical procedure that raises and reshapes sagging breasts and lifts them to a more aesthetically pleasing position. If the size of the breasts is also a concern, a breast lift can be combined with breast augmentation.

Breast reduction

Breast reduction surgery is a procedure designed to remove excess breast tissue and skin in women with exceptionally large breasts who suffer from symptoms such as back pain, shoulder pain, grooving of the shoulders, and skin breakdown. Breast reduction surgery not only helps alleviate these symptoms, but also improves patients' quality of life by eliminating many of the physical restrictions placed upon them preoperatively.
