Breast Plastic Surgery

Do you sometimes wish that you could change the way your breasts look? Are they bigger or smaller than you would like? Is one of your breasts bigger than the other? Do you simply want them to be perkier? If you can relate to any of these issues, breast plastic surgery may be a great option for you.

You have probably heard the terms breast enlargement and “boob job.”  However, you can benefit from several different types of these breast plastic surgery procedures.  Continue reading to find out which procedure may be beneficial to you.

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation, also known as breast enhancement or breast enlargement, is one of the most common types of plastic surgery today.  Informally referred to as a “boob job”, this procedure can enlarge your breasts and give you the hourglass figure you desire. Furthermore, with breast enhancement surgery, you can boost your self-esteem.

Breast augmentation is a safe and common procedure that involves the placement of silicone or saline-filled implants behind the breasts. Typically, the healing time required following breast augmentation is about three weeks. Breast enhancement can help people with:

  • Overly small breasts
  • Lack of an hourglass figure
  • Small sagging breasts due to weight loss, aging, or pregnancy
  • Asymmetrical small breasts
  • Unattractive small breasts

To best understand all of your options, a full consultation with Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, Warren M. Lent, MD is recommended.  Dr. Lent invites you to see his Breast Augmentation: Before and After page to see actual patients who have had an breast enlargement with Dr. Lent.  

Breast Reduction

Many women have symptoms related to overly large breasts. These women experience chronic pain of the upper back, rashes and excessive sweating under the breasts, discomfort with bra straps, and mobility limitations. Breast reduction surgery or reduction mammaplasty is a procedure that is designed to relieve women who suffer from these problems.

A plastic surgeon performing this procedure will remove excess tissue and reshape the breasts to give them a more youthful appearance. Just as with breast enlargement procedures, breast reduction is quite safe. However, you may need a bit more time to recover. This procedure may help people with:

  • Overly large breasts
  • Breasts that sag due to size
  • Large breasts that do not match your body frame
  • Asymmetrical large breasts
  • Large breasts that limit physical activity
  • Deep grooves in the shoulders from bra straps

To best understand all of your options, a full plastic surgery consultation with Dr. Warren Lent is recommended. For further details on each aspect of a breast reduction, Dr. Lent invites you to see his Breast Reduction: Before and After page to see actual patients who have had a breast reduction with him.

Breast Lift

Over time, your breast shape can change.  Various factors including pregnancies, breastfeeding, weight loss, aging, and hormonal changes can contribute to saggy, pendulous breasts. When this occurs, women can lose their self-confidence. Under the care of a board certified plastic surgeon, these problems can be corrected with breast lifts.

During a breast lift (AKA mastopexy), a plastic surgeon will remove excess skin and lift the breasts to give them a perkier appearance. It is essential to note that this procedure can be performed simultaneously with breast enlargement surgery if your breasts are too small (see Dr. Lent’s Breast Augmentation and Breast Lift: Before and After page).

Implant Revisions

If you have problems with your implants, you may think that there is nothing you can do. Due to modern advances, however, a plastic surgeon can correct any problem you may be experiencing with implant revisions.  These include:

  • Leakage or breakage of silicone implants
  • Deflated saline implants
  • Desire to change the size of implants (larger or smaller)
  • Unhappy with results of original procedure
  • Capsular contractures

Here at Dr. Warren Lent’s office, we show care for each patient from the initial surgery consultation to the final post-surgery call. We look forward to hearing from you. 

Asymmetry

Unfortunately, breasts are often asymmetrical.  One is often larger than the other. There are some cases in which asymmetry is very visible.

Luckily, a plastic surgeon can correct asymmetry utilizing various breast plastic surgery procedures to address your unique problem. Most of these techniques can be performed on an outpatient basis.  Patient’s will require at least two weeks of recovery time.

The results from correction of breast asymmetry can be immensely satisfying. To best understand all of your options, a full consultation with Dr. Warren Lent is recommended.
