Breast augmentation can be considered the “gold standard” of breast rejuvenation depending on the aesthetic concerns that motivate patients to pursue the procedure. When the breasts begin to stretch or lose volume, implants are often the most effective way to restore a rounder, more voluminous, and younger-looking breast shape. That said, some people with breast implants experience a condition in which their breasts feel unusually hard. This phenomenon, known as capsular contracture, can affect comfort and aesthetics — even causing the breasts to look distorted in more severe cases. Capsular contracture can be caused by a number of factors, including: Genetics: While it’s impossible to predict who may or may not develop capsular contracture, patients who have a family history of autoimmune diseases or thick...

Breast implants can offer a dynamic and long-lasting way to improve the size, volume, shape, and symmetry of the breasts. By providing patients with the ability to truly achieve the custom contours they envision, breast implants are considered an integral part of aesthetic surgery. If you’ve ever considered cosmetic procedures to enhance your breasts, you may have wondered whether breast implants can address breast ptosis or sagging. Drooping or elongated breast tissue is an extremely common effect of aging, pregnancy, and weight loss on the breasts. While medically harmless, our board-certified plastic surgeon understands that breast sag can sacrifice a youthful look in the chest and potentially inhibit self-confidence. Each person’s needs and aesthetic concerns are evaluated on an individual basis, but in general, breast... Continue Reading
Breast implants can offer a life-changing enhancement to your curves and confidence, allowing women dissatisfied with their chest to achieve the youthful, voluptuous breast contours they’ve always desired. Unfortunately, saline and silicone implants are not infallible. While capable of providing beautiful, long-term results, breast implants were not designed to be lifetime devices. Over time, certain issues may affect your implants and warrant a secondary breast revision procedure; however, the majority of patients do not ever feel a need to replace their breast implants unless they want to exchange their devices for a newer type, size, or fill-material. After breast augmentation, most women don’t experience severe problems that warrant replacing their implants. However, the following complications may require additional treatment to further improve the outcome: Rippling:... Continue Reading
According to recent data published in The Aesthetic Surgery Journal, there has been a worldwide increase in patients seeking to remove their breast implants through en bloc capsulectomy or another explantation procedure. The motivations behind patients’ request for breast implant removal lie in systemic symptoms — such as joint pain, autoimmune diseases, confusion, chronic fatigue, and muscle aches — attributed to their breast implants. While not enough data is available to determine individual risk factors for conditions such as Breast Implant Illness (BII) and Silicone Incompatibility Syndrome (SOS), self-described symptoms have been associated with all types of implants, including saline, silicone, gel-filled, smooth, and textured devices. In some patients, removing breast implants has been shown to improve or even eliminate their symptoms. ISAPS states that... Continue Reading
As we age, our bodies change in response to some of life’s biggest moments. Specifically, the appearance of firm and youthful breasts can fluctuate with age and multiple factors usually contribute to these developments. From pregnancy and breastfeeding to weight fluctuations, the breast contours tend to look flatter and less shapely over time. Menopause and the natural aging process are also contributing factors, especially when the body starts producing less estrogen. While the age-related changes to your breasts vary from patient to patient according to genetics and unique lifestyle factors, there are certain concerns widely shared by women as they get older. Many patients want to improve: Breasts that look elongated, have lost volume, or appear deflated A decrease in skin elasticity and firmness Nipples... Continue Reading

Cleavage, which refers to the space between both breasts, is often discussed during the consultation process as a common goal of breast enhancement. Many women seek a greater degree of cleavage to improve the way their clothing fits, enhance their silhouette, and gain a more sensual appearance. For patients who may not have the level of cleavage they desire, the placement of breast implants by a board-certified plastic surgeon offers an effective technique to attain more cleavage and achieve a more youthful look. Modern plastic surgery techniques even provide potential solutions to help women who have already had breast augmentation gain more cleavage without exchanging/replacing their implants. The key to enhancing cleavage during breast augmentation generally lies in careful selection of the most ideal shape/size/type... Continue Reading
