My goal for patients considering breast surgery is for their shape to remain as natural as possible.  Whether the patient is undergoing a breast reduction, breast lift, or breast augmentation, it is important to maintain the normal shape of the breast.

The technique for breast reductions and breast lifts is virtually the same, but the end result differs.  A mastopexy (breast lift) is intended to lift the current breast tissue and tighten the skin envenlope, and a breast reduction is when I remove tissue from the breast and then reshape and lift the remaining tissue. 

My intent with a breast augmentation is to give the patient volume without her appearing unnatural. I am able to achieve this look because I take numerous breast and chest measurements in order to determine the type of implant that will be best for each patient's physique.
