Breast plastic surgery procedures are chosen for various reasons, including achieving a desired aesthetic, restoring volume, symmetry, or alleviating physical discomfort.
Whether motivated by changes due to aging, lifestyle, or other personal factors, these procedures allow individuals to feel more confident and comfortable in their appearance.
Each procedure involves a comprehensive consultation to discuss your expectations and ensure they align with the predicted outcome. The team at Advanced Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery (APCS) is here to guide you through each stage of your journey and help you make the most informed decisions about breast plastic surgery.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is surgery to increase breast size and to improve shape and symmetry, providing a fuller appearance by using implants. This procedure is commonly sought by those who desire a more proportional figure or want to restore volume after weight loss or pregnancy. Most patients can return to light activities within a week, with a total return to more strenuous activities in 4-6 weeks
Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
A breast lift, or mastopexy, elevates and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the breast tissue. This option is ideal for individuals seeking to restore a more youthful contour to the breasts, often after changes caused by pregnancy, aging, or significant weight loss. By elevating the breasts and repositioning the nipple, a breast lift restores a firmer, uplifted appearance. Patients generally return to work and light activities within 1-2 weeks, with complete healing around 4-6 weeks post-procedure.
Breast Reduction
Breast reduction surgery is intended to reduce breast size and alleviate discomfort caused by overly large breasts, such as back, neck, and shoulder pain. This procedure removes excess tissue and skin to achieve a breast size more proportionate to the body, often providing significant physical relief as well as aesthetic benefits. Most patients can resume normal activities within 2 weeks, although full recovery typically takes 4-6 weeks.
Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia)
Male breast reduction surgery (gynecomastia) is a procedure intended to reduce enlarged male breast tissue and create a flatter chest contour. Gynecomastia can be caused by hormonal changes, weight fluctuations, genetics, or certain medications. The procedure may involve removing excess glandular tissue, fat, or skin through liposuction, surgical excision, or a combination of both. Most patients return to light activities within a few days, with a gradual return to full exercise over several weeks.
