About Breast Enhancement Procedures

Breast enhancement procedures come in many different forms; most treatments seek to add volume, improve symmetry, or restore a more youthful appearance after pregnancy, aging, or weight loss has altered the appearance of the breasts. Whatever your goals may be regarding breast enhancement, Southern Surgical Arts can help you achieve the results you desire.

Breast Asymmetry

Breast asymmetry surgery addresses differences in the size, shape, or position of the breast. While some degree of asymmetry is natural, significant disparities can impact one’s confidence and make it difficult to find bras and tops that fit well. Breast asymmetry procedures can improve the symmetry of the breasts with several different types of procedures, including breast lifts or breast reduction, to create more symmetry. Depending on your goals, your surgeon can reshape one breast to be larger or smaller, or they can treat both breasts with the procedure.

Inverted Nipple Surgery

Inverted nipple surgery works to improve the appearance of nipples that appear flat or pulled inward. This condition can affect one or both nipples. While some individuals may not experience physical discomfort, others may feel self-conscious about the appearance of their nipples if they are inverted. The procedure is considered minimally invasive and typically involves releasing the tissues responsible for the inward pulling of the nipple and, in some cases, reconstructing the area to ensure long-lasting results.

Breast Revision

Breast revision surgery is designed to address issues encountered following a former breast procedure. Common reasons for seeking breast revision include implant rupture, capsular contracture, or a desire to change the size, shape, or type of implant.

Breast Reduction

Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a procedure for individuals with relatively large breasts that cause physical discomfort or self-consciousness. This surgery reduces the size and weight of the breasts by removing excess tissue. In addition to alleviating back, neck, and shoulder pain, breast reduction can improve posture. (1) In cases where breast reduction is considered medically necessary, patients can have their reduction covered by insurance.

Breast Lift

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a procedure designed to address sagging or drooping breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. Over time, factors such as aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight fluctuations can cause the breasts to lose their youthful shape and firmness. Droopy skin can result in rashes along the lower breast fold (inframammary crease). Some patients also struggle to find bras that fit properly. A breast lift repositions the breasts and removes excess tissues for a more lifted and youthful-looking appearance, enhancing both the position and shape of the breasts. We can also combine this procedure with breast augmentation for patients who wish to increase volume while correcting sagging. The result is a fuller, perkier, and more youthful silhouette.

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries performed in the world, and this procedure is associated with significant improvements in body image, satisfaction with appearance, and self-esteem. ⁽²⁾ This procedure enhances the size and shape of the breasts through either implants or fat transfer techniques. For implant-based procedures, patients have the choice between saline or silicone implants, both of which have their own set of advantages depending on individual preferences and goals. During your consultation, your surgeon will work with you to select the implant type, size, and placement technique that best suits your anatomy and desired outcome.

Fat transfers, on the other hand, involve reinjecting fat taken from one area of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs, into the breasts. This technique is considered to be more natural, creating a more realistic look and feel while contouring the donor site for added body sculpting benefits.

Benefits

Breast enhancement procedures can offer numerous physical and emotional benefits depending on the procedure. Some of the benefits might include, but are not limited to, the following:

Consultation

If you are looking to start your breast enhancement journey, the process begins by scheduling a personal consultation at Southern Surgical Arts. During this appointment, you will meet with one of our highly trained experts to discuss your goals, review your medical history, and explore what the world of breast enhancement procedures can do for you. Our staff will conduct a thorough evaluation of your anatomy and health. After discussing your aesthetic goals, we will develop a personalized treatment plan designed specifically to help you achieve the results you desire.

This consultation is designed to be informative for both you and our staff, ensuring a successful, collaborative process. Your personal consultation is a great time to ask any questions you may have about the preparation, procedure, and recovery processes, as well as breast enhancement procedures in general.

Preparation

The preparation process for breast enhancement procedures will look different for each patient depending on the type of procedure they opt for. Your surgeon will provide detailed preoperative instructions to ensure a smooth and successful experience. In most cases, patients are typically instructed to avoid nicotine, alcohol, blood thinning medications and supplements, and other specific medications as directed. For most surgical procedures, we recommend that patients make arrangements for travel home following the surgery and care from a trusted person at home during the initial recovery phase.

Procedure

The details of every breast enhancement procedure are different. Surgical breast enhancement procedures will likely involve the usage of general anesthesia and take one to two hours to complete. The duration of each procedure can vary. Any specific details you wish to learn about individual breast enhancement procedures can be outlined during your personal consultation with our staff.

Recovery

Recovery from breast enhancement procedures is often a gradual process, and that looks different for each patient depending on the extent of their procedure. For breast augmentation and breast lift patients, mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common in the days following surgery, but these symptoms typically subside within a few weeks. Breast reduction patients may experience a slightly longer recovery due to the nature of the procedure. Southern Surgical Arts will provide detailed guidelines for the recovery process and will be there to guide patients every step of the way.

Results

While individual results will vary by patient, the team at Southern Surgical Arts are skilled professionals who are confident in their ability to provide natural-looking and long-lasting breast enhancement results. Whether you are enhancing volume, correcting asymmetry, or addressing sagging skin, Southern Surgical Arts has expanded all across the South because of its reputation for producing stunning results. When it comes to surgical breast enhancement procedures, some results, such as changes in volume and definition, will be noticed immediately for some procedures. For most procedures, however, the majority of results become increasingly apparent as the healing process progresses.
