Breast Augmentation: Enhance Size and Volume

Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic breast surgeries. It is also the most common cosmetic surgery performed at our center. The surgery involves increasing the size of the breasts using silicone or saline breast implants. Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater, providing a natural feel with adjustable sizing options. Silicone implants, filled with silicone gel, are known for their softer feel and natural appearance. Fat grafting to the breast is not reliable for primary breast augmentation but can be used in breast augmentation revision surgery to improve breast contour.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy): Restore Firmness and Shape

A breast lift is designed to correct sagging or drooping breasts by lifting and reshaping them for a youthful appearance. This procedure is ideal for women experiencing breast sagging due to aging, pregnancy, or weight loss. Excess breast skin and tissue is removed during the procedure, and the skin envelope is tailored into an ideal breast shape. The nipple and areolar complex is moved with its blood and nerve connections to a more ideal location. The result is a more youthful, compact, and lifted look. For patients seeking a lift and added volume, a combination of breast augmentation and a breast lift can be recommended for optimal results.

Breast Reduction: Alleviate Discomfort and Enhance Proportion

Breast reduction surgery is performed to reduce the size of overly large breasts. Women with large breasts often experience physical discomfort, including back, neck, and shoulder pain, along with limitations in physical activities. Excess fat, tissue, and skin are removed during the procedure to achieve a proportionate breast size. The nipple and areolar complex is moved as a unit into a more aesthetically ideal location. The result is a more balanced appearance along with relief from the physical strain caused by heavy breasts.

Revision Breast Surgery: Correct or Improve Previous Cosmetic Outcomes

Revision cosmetic breast surgery is performed to address issues from a previous breast procedure, such as implant complications, dissatisfaction with the initial results, or changes in breast appearance over time. Common reasons for revision surgery include replacing implants, correcting asymmetry or implant malposition, or addressing implant rupture or capsular contracture. Sometimes, our surgeons use acellular dermal matrix products and absorbable mesh scaffolds to create an ‘internal bra’ to support the breast implant position. Our team at Sound Plastic Surgery ensures that revision procedures are customized to achieve optimal results and meet the patient’s expectations.
