breast augmentation rockvilleWomen may decide to undergo plastic surgery to enlarge or reduce their breasts, to achieve a balance in size or shape for their breasts, or to reconstruct one or both breasts after mastectomy.  Whatever the motivation, breast surgery is safer and easier now than ever before.  Please review the list of services we provide to help you make an informed decision and achieve the most satisfying results.

 

Breast Augmentation (Augmentation Mammaplasty)

Breast augmentation is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic surgery procedures in the U.S. It can give women with small or unevenly-sized breasts a fuller, firmer, better-proportioned look through the placement of implants in the breast. Women may elect to undergo breast augmentation for many different medical and aesthetic motivations, including balancing breast size and compensating for reduced breast mass after pregnancy or surgery. The procedure may be combined with others such as a breast lift for more satisfying results.

They are placed behind each breast, underneath either breast tissue or the chest wall muscle. The procedure lasts approximately one hour and is typically performed with general anesthesia. After surgery the patient’s bustline may be increased by one or more cup sizes.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

The procedure can also reduce areolar size (the dark skin surrounding the nipple), and it can be combined with breast augmentation for added volume and firmness. It is usually done under general anesthesia, and lasts from one to two hours.

Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammaplasty)

Breast reduction surgery is usually done to provide relief from these symptoms. Performed under general anesthesia, the two- to three-hour procedure removes fat and glandular tissue and tightens skin to produce smaller, lighter breasts that are in a healthier proportion to the rest of the body.

Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia)

Although rarely discussed, enlarged male breasts is a common condition.  Gynecomastia affects approximately 40 to 60 percent of men.  There is often no known cause for gynecomastia, although there has been some correlation with various drugs or medical conditions.

Men who feel self-conscious about their appearance are helped with breast-reduction surgery. The procedure removes fat and/or glandular tissue from the breasts, and in extreme cases removes excess skin, resulting in a contoured chest that is flatter and firmer.
