Augmentation Mammaplasty

It is not uncommon for a woman to want to change her breast size, shape or position to achieve a more natural appearance. Reasons for choosing surgery are highly personal and many women consider the option of breast surgery for years before deciding to proceed. Potential candidates should discuss with the cosmetic surgeon the options, risks and anticipated results of breast surgery.

Some women may have mildly saggy breast skin while others desire to bring a significantly smaller breast into balance with the other. It is important that patients discuss with the surgeon their reasons for wanting breast enlargement and their expectations of the results.
