Breast Augmentation
◎ Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation, technically known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure to enhance the size and shape of a woman's breast for a number of reasons:
・To enhance the body contour of a woman who, for personal reasons, feels her breast size is too small.
・To restore breast volume lost due to weight loss or following pregnancy
・To achieve better symmetry when breasts are moderately disproportionate in size and shape
・To improve the shape of breasts that are sagging or have lost firmness, often used with a breast lift procedure
Breast augmentation can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, but it won't necessarily change your looks to match your ideal, or cause other people to treat you differently. Before you decide to have surgery, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with us.
| Features | By inserting an implant behind each breast, we are able to increase a woman's bustline by one or more bra cup sizes. If you're considering breast augmentation, this will give you a basic understanding of the procedure |

Breast Reduction
◎ Breast Reduction
Breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, is a procedure performed for women with large, pendulous breasts. Most commonly patients complain of back and neck pain, skin irritation under the breasts, and bra strap grooving on the shoulders. There are also patients who are unhappy with the cosmetic appearance of their breasts. Large breasts make the body disproportionate and can cause problems with daily activities such as exercise, work, social interaction, or clothes selection.
| Features | The procedure removes fat, glandular tissue and skin from the breasts making them smaller, lighter, firmer, and perkier. Breast reductions are done on an outpatient basis in the hospital under general anesthesia. Very large reductions may require a one-night stay in the hospital. The procedure usually takes three to four hours depending on the extent of surgery needed. Patients are up and able to move the day after surgery. The tenderness in the breast area lasts for a couple of weeks. Most patients will return to work and social activities in about one to two weeks. Full exercise is usually allowed after four weeks. |

Breast Lift
◎ Breast lift
Loss of skin elasticity, gravity and other factors such as weight loss, pregnancy, breast-feeding affect the shape and firmness of your breasts. Patients who are generally satisfied with the size of their breasts can have a breast lift to raise and firm them, resulting in a more youthful breast contour. Some patients may be unhappy that they have lost a significant amount of breast volume over time. In such cases, implants inserted in conjunction with a breast lift can increase breast size at the same time as the shape and position of the breasts are enhanced.
◎ What will the day of surgery be like?
Your breast lift surgery may be performed in my clinic. Often, a general anesthetic is administered, so that you will be asleep throughout the procedure.Alternatively, a breast lift may be performed using local anesthesia and intravenous sedation. When surgery is completed, you will be taken into a recovery area where you will continue to be closely monitored. Sometimes, small drain tubes will have been placed in your breasts to help avoid the accumulation of fluids. Gauze or other dressings may be placed on your breasts and covered with an elastic bandage or surgical bra.You may be permitted to go home after a few hours, unless you and we have determined that you will stay in the hospital or surgical facility overnight.
◎ How will I look and feel initially?
The day after surgery, you will be encouraged to get out of bed for short periods of time. After several days, you should be able to move about more comfortably. Straining, bending and lifting must be avoided, however, since these activities might cause increased swelling or even bleeding. You may be instructed to sleep on your back to avoid pressure on your breasts. Any surgical drains will be removed within a few days of surgery, at which time your dressings may also be changed or removed. You may be instructed to wear a support bra for a few weeks, until the swelling and discoloration of your breasts diminish. Generally, stitches will be removed in stages over a period of approximately 2 weeks, beginning about one week after surgery.You may notice that you feelless sensation in the nipple and areola areas. This is usually temporary. It may, however, take weeks, months before sensation returns to normal. Your breasts may also require some time to assume a more natural shape. Incisions will initially be red or pink in color. They will remain this way for many months following surgery.
◎ Results of a Breast Lift
Breast lift surgery will make your breasts firmer and more uplifted. The position of your areolas and nipples will be enhanced, and the size of your areolas will be aesthetically pleasing. The incisions from your breast lift surgery will heal and fade over time. It is important to realize, however, that the incision lines will be permanently visible. In some instances, they will eventually be only faint lines. Certain individuals may have incision lines that are more noticeable. Fortunately, the incisions for your breast lift are in locations easily concealed by clothing, even low-cut necklines.
◎ How long will the results last?
Unless you gain or lose a significant amount of weight or become pregnant, your new breast shape should remain fairly constant. However,gravity and the effects of aging will eventually alter the size and shape of virtually every woman's breasts. If, after a period of years, you again become dissatisfied with the appearance of your breasts, you may choose to undergo a second breast lift procedure to restore their more youthful contour and appearance.
