Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is performed to return youthful shape and lift to breasts that have sagged as a result of weight loss, pregnancy, loss of the skin’s natural elasticity or simply the effects of aging and gravity. The procedure can also reduce areolar size (the dark skin surrounding the nipple), and it can be combined with breast reduction for added firmness. It is usually done under general anesthesia, and lasts from one to three hours.
Cost of Breast Lift: $5000 (This is the usual total cost for the procedure but this may vary depending on choice of anesthesia and individual circumstances).

Breast Augmentation
 Breast augmentation is one of the most popular procedures in plastic surgery. The procedure can improve the size and shape of breasts that have always been small or that have lost volume due to weight loss or pregnancy. There can be some improvement of ptosis (sagging) of the breasts but in some cases if the sagging is more severe this may require breast lift or mastopexy. The surgery involves the placement of implants filled either with saline (salt water solution) or silicone gel to increase the breast size. Implants come in a variety of sizes and shapes and can be placed through a variety of incisions but most commonly either around the nipple (periareolar location), under the breast fold (inframammary location), or in the armpit (axillary location). Implants can be placed either above or below the pectoralis muscles. All of these options have advantages and disadvantages and the best choice for an individual patient is something we can determine at your consultation visit.
Cost of Breast Augmentation: $5300 saline or $6100 gel (This is the usual total cost for the procedure but this may vary depending on choice of anesthesia and individual circumstances).

Breast Reduction
 Breast reduction or Reduction Mammoplasty is among the most popular procedures in plastic surgery with a consistently high patient satisfaction rate. The procedure removes excessive breast tissue and reshapes and lifts the breast mound and the nipples. The procedure is usually very effective in relieving pain in the shoulders, neck, and back resulting from the excessive weight and ptosis (sag) of the breasts. The main disadvantage of the procedure is that in order to decrease the size and reshape the breasts it’s necessary to remove skin and this results in scarring. The typical scar pattern is often referred to as an inverted ‘T’ or ‘anchor’ scar because it goes around the nipple, vertically down and then transversely at the fold under the breast. In many but not all cases a shorter scar technique is possible and this can be determined at your consultation visit.
Cost of Breast Reduction: $6500 (This is the usual total cost for the procedure but this may vary depending on choice of anesthesia and individual circumstances).

Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction restores a natural, symmetrical appearance to the bosom, maintains body proportion, allows clothes to fit better, and most important of all, boosts self-confidence for women who have lost one or both breasts to mastectomy or who lack breasts due to a congenital or developmental abnormality. Reconstructive surgeons strive to create a new breast and nipple that resemble the woman's natural breast as closely as possible in shape, size and position.

Male Breast Reduction
 Gynecomastia or excessive breast development in males is a common condition during adolescence that usually resolves with time. In excessive or persistent cases the tissue can be treated surgically. This is usually with a combination of direct excision via a scar around the nipple and suction assisted lipectomy through a small (1/4 inch) separate incision at the base of the breast. Scars are usually minimal and satisfaction with this procedure is high. In more severe cases with excessive loose tissue it is necessary to remove skin and this can result in more significant scars.
Cost of Gynecomastia: $4500 (This is the usual total cost for the procedure but this may vary depending on choice of anesthesia and individual circumstances).
