Breast enhancements are procedures that aim to enlarge, alter the shape of, and improve the feel of a woman’s breasts through various surgical techniques

At the Clinic for Plastic Surgery in Houston breast enhancement surgery is a popular choice for women unhappy with the appearance of their breasts. Some women may pursue surgery after breastfeeding, others may wish to reconstruct them after the ravages of breast cancer, and some simply want to change the way they look cosmetically.

TYPES OF BREAST ENHANCEMENT PROCEDURES BREAST AUGMENTATION

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that increases your bustline’s appeal through the use of specially made implants . There are three different types of implants:

Saline Implants

Saline refers to the sterile saltwater solution inside the silicone shells of the implants. The size of your breasts will depend on the amount of saline inside the implant.
Because of saline’s liquid properties, your doctor can insert your implant shells first, then fill them after they have been positioned.
Undoubtedly the leader in performance and innovation.^[2]
This method will result in a smaller scar.

Silicone Implants

The most popular option available.
Provides breasts with a natural look and responsiveness.
They come in a variety of shapes and sizes.

Anatomical Implants

Anatomical implants are a separate category of silicone implants that mimic the “teardrop” slope of a woman’s breast.
Creates a natural and tapered look.

Crescent Lift

For minimal sagging

Periareolar Lift

For mild sagging

Lollipop Lift

For moderate to severe sagging

Full Mastopexy

BREASTREDUCTION

A breast reduction is a procedure reserved for women whose breasts are too large for their frame and who wish to reduce the size of their breasts. Techniques:

Anchor Technique

Vertical Incision Technique

For moderate volume that needs removal

Scarless Breast Reduction

For breasts with more fatty than glandular tissue

BREAST RECONSTRUCTION

Breast reconstruction is a surgical process used to restore breasts that have been lost to cancer or physical trauma. This reconstructive procedure recreates a perky, natural-looking chest and dramatically improves the patient’s quality of life both physically and emotionally. We offer two distinct breast reconstruction options:

Implants

Less invasive.
Ideal for slender women who don’t have enough excess fat.

Flap reconstruction

More natural-looking.

BREAST REVISION

A breast revision is a procedure reserved for women who are unhappy with the results of a previous breast enhancement surgery. The process aims to correct any cosmetic imperfections or complications such as:

Implants that are too large or too small
Implants that are the wrong shape
Unruly scar tissue around implants
Implant rippling
Shifted, ruptured, or deflated implants
Changes in appearance due to weight gain or loss

GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY

Gynecomastia is swollen male breast tissue caused by a hormone imbalance. It is commonly known as having man boobs and can develop in any man at any age. This condition does not respond to diet and exercise, making gynecomastia surgery the only way to restore the chest to its masculine ideal.

Both techniques can be performed individually or combined for optimal results. Technique Options:

Excision

For contouring purposes

Lipo

For fatty tissue with no glandular development

CANDIDATES

The ideal candidate for breast enhancement is somebody who has one or more of the following:

Breasts of differing sizes.
Underdeveloped breasts.
Sagging or deflated breasts.
Dissatisfaction with their breasts in the wake of weight loss, child-rearing, or aging.
Breasts that are too big.
Damaged or scarred breasts.

Are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have recently stopped breastfeeding.
Have an abnormal mammogram or an undiagnosed breast condition.

PREPARATION

BREAST AUGMENTATION

First, you will want to select the size and shape of your new breasts as well as decide between silicone or saline implants. This will all be discussed and agreed upon during your initial consultation. Breast augmentation costs can vary, depending on the size and type of implant.

BREAST LIFT

You and your doctor will go over the specific type of breast lift youll be receiving as well as any preliminary steps you should take during your consultation.

BREAST RECONSTRUCTION

As long as you are currently cancer-free and want to rediscover your feminine appearance, you will most likely qualify for breast reconstruction. To be sure, we invite you to schedule a private consultation.

BREAST REDUCTION

Your initial consultation will adequately prepare you for breast reduction surgery. You and your doctor will go over how your new breasts will look.

BREAST REVISION

After an initial consultation to determine whether to remove or replace your implants, you may go forward with your procedure.

GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY

Your initial consultation will allow your doctor to determine if you are qualified for surgery. Candidates should be non-smokers in stable health and be able to prove that they’ve been living a healthy lifestyle.

PROCEDURE BREAST AUGMENTATION

First, your doctor will administer general anesthesia.

From there, he or she will create precise incisions around the areola, armpit, and lower breast crease, creating a pocket inside the chest in which to insert the implant. The incisions will then be closed, making sure that the resulting scars will be unnoticeable. From there, gauze and dressings will be applied to the treated areas.

BREAST RECONSTRUCTION

Implants

Your doctor will use an expander to expand your skin over a period of a few weeks.
Once the expansion is complete, incisions will be made to insert the implants.

Flap Reconstruction

First, the skin, fat, and muscle are removed from the buttocks, back, and abdominal areas.
These tissues are then transferred over to the chest area to create brand new breasts.

BREAST LIFT

After administering general anesthesia, your doctor will make incisions around the areola, making sure to remove any excess skin and tighten the area. Your doctor will then close the incisions with sutures with minimal scarring before sending you home.
