Breast
Women who are dissatisfied with the size, projection or shape of their breasts may turn to breast surgery as a means to cosmetically enhance the appearance of their breasts. Whether the patient wishes to correct an anatomic issue or one that has occurred over time, Dr. Elisa Burgess performs a variety of breast surgeries including:
A breast augmentation procedure uses saline or silicone implants that increase the size or improve the shape and projection of the breasts. Many options exist when it comes to breast augmentation. Dr. Burgess is experienced and can guide patients through the necessary steps, as well as provide complimentary implant sizing. Bra and clothing selection can be enhanced.
Breast Lift or Breast Lift with Augmentation
Patients who struggle with breasts that have begun to sag over time turn to breast lift (or mastopexy) as a means to provide a more youthful appearance. Using excision and sometimes liposuction, excess skin and tissue are removed and the breast and nipple are lifted to achieve the desired result. Sometimes patients need more volume and an augmentation is added to the lift.
Breast reduction is a surgical procedure offered to patients who struggle with overly large, heavy breasts, which can also lead to painful symptoms. Using techniques similar to a breast lift, Dr. Burgess removes more excess skin and breast tissue to aid in the patient's symptoms. It also provides a more slender silhouette which helps in selection of clothing and bras.
