BREAST RECONSTRUCTION
A staged procedure performed on patients who desire immediate or delayed reconstruction following mastectomy for breast cancer or family history of breast cancer. This procedure allows our physician to use autologus tissue, patients own tissue or implant/tissue expander to create a new breast mound. The results of breast reconstruction can aid in a patients self-image, self-confidence and overall outlook on life.
BREAST AUGMENTATION
This surgical procedure enlarges women's breasts with placement of saline or gel filled implants. It increases size and projection of the breasts. The outcome allows women to feel better about their appearance in clothing, lingerie and swimwear.
BREAST REDUCTION
This procedure reduces the size of a woman's breasts by removing excess breast fat, tissue and skin to achieve a breast size proportionate to her body. This procedure can assist in alleviating symptoms of pain and discomfort as well as emotional discomfort and self-consciousness associated with having large breasts.
BREAST LIFT
A mastopexy repositions the breasts and nipples to restore a more youthful appearance of the breasts. It gives women back what gravity has taken away.
GYNECOMASTIA
Another term, breast reduction for men. Removal of excess breast fatty tissue either through liposuction or excision to reduce the size of the breast.
Surgical procedures are performed in licensed and accredited outpatient and inpatient facilities. Some are part of West Jefferson Medical Center, some are freestanding. All adhere to the same standards as the hospital. These facilities provide unparalleled safety and professionalism for the patients. We use facilities with MD anesthesia, another very important safety concern. We also perform surgery with an overnight stay for patients who require more care than their family can comfortably provide at home.
