Breast augmentation in the hands of a skilled plastic surgeon can not only increase the size of the breasts but with proper implant selection and technique can enhance the size and shape of the breasts.

The before and after photographs here show a patient who had the placement of a breast implant. Note the increase in size with a subtle and refined anatomical shape.

Breast augmentation or augmentation mammoplasty is the plastic surgical procedure used to increase the size and sometimes the shape of a woman’s breast.

Breast augmentation (the placement of an implant) can also be coupled with a mastopexy (a breast lift). This can be a powerful tool for transforming the aesthetic appearance of a breast where lifting and increasing the size is a desired outcome.

This patient desired breast reduction not only for appearance but also to help alleviate back, shoulder and neck discomfort. The scars will continue to fade over the next 12-18 months.

Breast Implant Replacement and Revision Surgery
Mastopexy can lift the breast by repositioning the nipple and tightening the skin to provide a more youthful and attractive contour without significantly changing breast size.

Before and After Breast Reconstruction

Enhancement of the cheeks with an “anatomic implant” can often provide balance of facial features. The photo on the right demonstrates the improvement which may be obtained with cheek augmentation and rhinoplasty.

Patient underwent chin implant and functional septo rhinoplasty.

When the chin recedes behind an imaginary line dropped vertically from the lower lip, an augmentation mentoplasty (chin implant) can correct the deficiency and provide facial harmony. This patient also had face lifting with liposuction at the neck at the same time.

Earlobe Repair
Earlobe repair is the process of repairing torn earlobes, or those with large holes created by gauges. The procedure is performed in the office under local anesthesia and involves cutting a small notch in the torn lobe, then meticulously suturing the lobe back together.
The aging process also affects the ear and earlobes often become stretched and may “droop”, bringing the whole face down. Earlobe reduction is a process similar to earlobe repair, where excess tissue is removed and the edges are brought together. This is also performed in the office under local anesthesia.

Newborn Ear Deformities (non-surgical)
Congenital ear deformities are common and can cause significant psychosocial distress. Auricular molding/splinting can be successful in correcting the various types of deformities when performed with the first week of life. A custom-made rigid elastic split in applied and secured with surgical tape and surgical glue. Splints are not painful and do not disrupt normal infant activities. They are removed after 14 days and ears are re-evaluated. Additional re-splinting may be required.

Surgery For Protruding Ears
Large or protruding ears can be repositioned with the Otoplasty procedure. Although the size of the ears are not changed, they assume a much more natural relationship to the head.

Heavy brows and eyelids tend to give one a “tired” look, which can be corrected with brow lifting and upper and lower lid Blepharoplasty. (Nothing was done to this man’s cheeks and neck.)

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is a procedure to remove the excess skin on the upper eyelid. This leads to a refreshed and brighter look that evokes a more youthful and awake appearance.

Upper and lower lip augmentation using temporary filler.

Lips that thin with aging can be enhanced by a surgical upper and lower lip-lift and by grafting strips of the patient’s own collagen.

Short term (4-6 months) lip augmentation can be achieved by injecting fillers into the lip. More permanent results can be obtained by grafting the patient’s own collagen into the lips.

Improved body contour can be shaped with a variety of abdominoplasty or liposuction techniques to sculpt and smooth the trunk area.

The Body Lift technique involves the use of an incision similar to the Abdominoplasty procedure. Like Abdominoplasty, which improves the appearance of the waistline in the front, the Body Lift incision starts anteriorly, continues around the back in a gentle curve and allows for improvement of the lower abdomen, buttock and thigh areas in a single procedure.

Involves removal of excess skin from the abdomen and typically involves tightening of the abdominal wall musculature to slim the silhouette of the waistline. Typically involves liposuction to the abdomen and trunk as well.
