Breast

Out of the hundreds of thousands of cosmetic surgery procedures performed each year, Breast Augmentation continues to remain the leader in cosmetic plastic surgery. According to CosmeticPlasticSurgeryStatistics.com , in 2008 there were over 9.4 million procedures performed with Breast Augmentation being on the top of the list for Surgical Procedures for Women.

Why receive a breast augmentation? For women, the size of one’s breasts is a very personal preference that can vary from individual to individual. Whether you’re looking for a breast enhancement, breast reduction, or breast lift, there’s a procedure available to address all your cosmetic breast surgery needs. In addition, breast reconstruction is available for women that seek an aesthetically pleasing breast that improves confidence after a mastectomy. For men, male breast reduction is also available to help decrease the appearance of enlarged breasts or gynecomastia.

Breast Enhancement
Breast enhancement (also known as breast augmentation, breast implants, or mammaplasty) helps to improve the size, shape, and symmetry of a woman’s breasts. Whether for aesthetic or corrective purposes, breast enhancement would be a suitable option for those that are unsatisfied with their current breast appearance. At the Waldorf Center for Plastic Surgery, we use FDA-approved silicone gel or salt-water solution implants.

Breast Reduction
Neck, back, and shoulder aches can often be attributed to overly large and heavy breasts. Because of the large size of breasts, day-to-day activities can become uncomfortable and even painful to withstand. A breast reduction entails the removal of fatty and glandular breast tissue as well as excess skin to eliminate the weight and size until they are proportionate to the patient’s body. After the procedure, the breasts typically result with a better shape and nipple position in addition to a significant improvement in quality of life.

Breast Lift
The shape and position of breasts can decline due to childbirth, weight loss, and time. To reduce the effects of gravity and other factors, a breast lift may be necessary to restore your breasts to their original youthful appearance.

Breast Reconstruction
Breast cancer has a deep emotional impact on all those who experience it. At the Waldorf Center for Plastic Surgery, we understand that you’re going through a difficult time and pledge to do our best to help you regain your comfort and happiness. There are a number of surgical options for breast reconstruction. Through a series of operations, breast reconstruction can result in an aesthetically pleasing breast and hopefully improve your quality of life.

Male Reduction
Male Breast Reduction Men with enlarged breasts, or gynecomastia, are often self-conscious of the size or shape of their breasts. By going through a male breast lift procedure a more masculine appearance of the chest may be achieved as well as regained confidence. A combined procedure of liposuction with laser or ultrasound and excision of glandular tissue is used to perform the male breast lift.

In addition to cosmetic plastic surgery for the breast, consider adding to the enhancement of your body through a face lift, lip augmentation, or liposuction through one of Oregon’s most acclaimed plastic surgery facilities, The Waldorf Center for Plastic Surgery in Portland.
