Featured Breast Procedures
Some women feel dissatisfied because their breasts never developed to a size that meets their expectations. Others want to bring balance to a breast that is somewhat smaller than the other. Often, women seek breast augmentation to restore their natural breast volume, which may have decreased as a result of pregnancy, weight loss, or aging.
Breast augmentation, technically known as augmentation mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure to enhance the size and shape of a woman’s breast.
Breast lift surgery is designed for women whose breasts have lost their elasticity over time. During breast lift surgery, excess skin is removed from the breasts and the remaining skin is tightened. The goal of breast lift surgery is to help a woman attain firmer, younger-looking breasts that are proportionate to the rest of her body.
Dr. Ghaderi can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple, during breast lift surgery.
Women who have extremely large breasts often experience physical problems caused by the strain of carrying so much excess weight. Symptoms range from neck and back pain, headaches, and skin irritation to breathing problems and musculoskeletal deformities. Even wide, cushioned bra straps can leave painful indentations on the shoulders of women with large, heavy breasts. In addition to causing physical discomfort, excessively large breasts can also make a woman feel ashamed and self-conscious.
Breast reduction, technically known as reduction mammaplasty, is designed for women who are experiencing physical and mental distress as a result of extremely large breasts.
The reconstruction of a breast that has been removed because of cancer or another disease or injury is one of the most rewarding surgical procedures for a plastic surgeon to perform.
Often, breast reconstruction is possible right after the removal of the natural breast (mastectomy). In some cases, a patient can wake up from a mastectomy with a reconstructed breast mound already in place. Receiving breast reconstruction surgery can dramatically improve a woman’s appearance, self-confidence, and overall quality of life.
