Breast

Out of all cosmetic surgical procedures performed each year, breast procedures make up nearly 30% of the total. According to the ASPS Report of 2010 Plastic Surgery Statistics there were over 1.5 million cosmetic surgical procedures performed with breast augmentation being on the top of the list.

For women, the size of one’s breasts is a very personal preference that can vary from individual to individual. Whether you are seeking a breast enhancement, breast reduction, breast lift, or breast reconstruction – there’s a procedure available here at the Waldorf Center for Plastic Surgery to address your breast surgery needs.

For men, male breast reduction is also available to help decrease the appearance of enlarged breasts or gynecomastia, and attain your desired chest contour.

Your Initial Consultation

We believe you need to be well-informed about the surgical procedure in which you are interested. That includes the processes of preparing for a procedure, and the recovery period. The physician will meet with you about your concerns and personal goals. Feel free to bring in images that you do or don’t like to help us understand your aesthetic tastes and goals. The surgeon will then examine you, and base her opinion on how to achieve your goals based on best practices, and how the procedure will affect you.

Choosing a surgeon is an intensely personal decision. We encourage you to take time to question the physician, and her team. We believe the formation of a personal bond is an integral part of the surgery and healing process.

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 is 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. When one’s breasts are overly large, 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 have 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.

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 reduction (also called male breast lift) a more masculine appearance of the chest may be achieved as well as regained confidence. A combined procedure of liposuction or laser lipolysis and excision may be used to perform the male breast reduction.
