Breast Surgery
Breast surgery is a procedure that modifies a woman's or man’s breasts. Such surgeries are done for a variety of reasons. Some are done for cosmetic reasons, such as to reconstruct the breast to look more youthful or increase its size. Others are medically necessary, such as a breast reduction for back pain or surgery to remove cancer.
Breast reduction surgery entails the removal of skin and tissue from the breast, followed by reshaping and elevating to create a smaller, more proportionate bust size. Many women struggle with the decision to have a breast reduction but afterward consider it one of the best decisions they ever made for themselves.

Breast lift (Mastopexy)
A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, raises the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new breast contour. Sometimes the areola becomes enlarged over time, and a breast lift will reduce this as well. A woman's breasts often change over time, losing their youthful shape and firmness. A breast lift can rejuvenate your figure with a breast profile that is more youthful and uplifted. Click here to learn more.
Breast enlargement (Augmentation)
Breast augmentation, sometimes referred to as a "breast aug" or "boob job" by patients, involves using breast implants or fat transfer to increase the size of your breasts. This procedure can also restore breast volume lost after weight reduction or pregnancy, achieve a more rounded breast shape, or improve natural breast size asymmetry. Click here to learn more.
Breast reconstruction
Breast reconstruction is surgery to recreate breasts after a mastectomy due to breast cancer. There are several types of breast reconstruction. Some techniques use implants. Others use tissue from your body (such as the belly) to form a breast. Breast reconstruction can happen right after a mastectomy or much later. You may need multiple surgeries over several months.

Gynecomastia surgery reduces breast size in men, flattening and enhancing the chest contours. In severe cases of gynecomastia, the weight of excess breast tissue may cause the breasts to sag and stretch the areola (the dark skin surrounding the nipple). In these cases, the position and size of the areola can be surgically improved, and excess skin may be reduced. Plastic surgery to correct gynecomastia is technically called reduction mammaplasty.
