Breast Procedures

Breast Enlargement/Augmentation Mammaplasty

Breast augmentation enhances a woman’s breasts through the surgical placement of breast implants to increase fullness, projection, symmetry and size. Breast augmentation may be an option for women who want to enlarge naturally small breasts, restore volume lost following pregnancy or weight loss, achieve specific body proportions and balance, or to minimize breasts asymmetry. Surgery can be combined with a breast lift to improve position and shape. Although in some limited cases small amounts of transferred fat can be used to correct small volume defects, the transfer of large fat volumes for purposes of breast enlargement is generally not yet an option. Dr. Hill will customize the surgery to the patient’s goals and needs. Implants come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and surface textures. Surgery is outpatient and light work may be resumed within a few days.

Breast Reduction/ Reduction Mammaplasty

A breast reduction procedure is for women who are experiencing physical discomfort and personal dissatisfaction with body image due to larger breasts. This is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast fat, tissue, and skin to achieve a breast size that is proportional to the body and to alleviate discomfort associated with overly large breasts. Breast reduction surgery can be applied to one breast (to improve symmetry between significantly different sized breasts) or both breasts. Surgery is generally outpatient and light work quickly resumed.

Breast Lift/Mastopexy

Breast lift is a surgical lift of the breasts to correct sagging and improve firmness. The nipple will usually be raised to a more projecting position and the stretched skin surrounding the nipple (areola) may be reduced in diameter at the same time. Surgery is typically outpatient and light work may resume within 5-10 days.
