Natural Breast Augmentation

At its best breast augmentation surgery enhances the appearance of the breast without sacrificing how the breast looks, feels, and moves.  Any woman considering breast enhancement surgery should know that a natural result comes from choices made by her surgeon in the operating room.

Periareolar Mastopexy and Breast Augmentation Combined

In a previous blog I discussed how the periareolar mastopexy (breast lift) operation can bring an areola that is too large or sitting too low into better harmony with the breast. This operation also allows me to position a breast implant, so that I can adjust the volume of the breast as well.

Periareolar Mastopexy and Breast Augmentation Surgery

There is an operation which will restore a pleasing size and balance to the areola and allow for a proportionate augmentation with an implant.  The operation is known as a periareolar mastopexy or a periareolar breast lift.

When is breast augmentation not enough?

If you are considering breast augmentation surgery, it is important for you to realize that breast implants alone will not solve every breast problem. If I were to describe the ideal patient for breast augmentation surgery, she would have a relatively well-toned breast structure with very little of what plastic surgeons refer to as ptosis. The word is pronounced with a silent “p” and is perhaps a gentler way of saying, “sagging” or “drooping.”
