Women choose to undergo breast surgery for different reasons, but when women consider breast surgery, they do it to achieve aesthetic goals they have set for themselves, and not because someone else wants them to have surgery.
To discuss breast surgery in Mesa and explore surgical procedures that may help you achieve your goals, call our practice. Our plastic surgeon, Dr. Nachbar, will answer your questions and develop a customized plastic surgery treatment plan to address your needs.
Our clients in Mesa have various reasons for considering breast surgery. You might want a breast augmentation to increase volume or improve proportion. Augmentation procedures can also correct asymmetry that can happen after pregnancy, weight loss, or naturally during puberty. This boosts your self-image and self-confidence and makes it easier to find bras and other clothing that fit properly.
Over time, aging, gravity, breastfeeding, and hormonal changes can cause your breast tissue to lose firmness or sag. A breast lift helps reposition and reshape the breast, which restores a more feminine and youthful silhouette. Breast reduction surgery can help reduce the pain associated with overly large breasts, or simply make breasts more attractive and comfortable.
Most women report improved self-esteem, body confidence, and quality of life after breast surgery. These psychological benefits can be just as impactful as the physical transformation. This helps present a more confident self to the world and may improve your personal and professional life.
There are several types of breast surgery, some of which can be combined into one surgical procedure to provide you with optimal results, greater efficiency, and lower cost. Below are the breast surgery options we offer to women in Mesa.
Breast augmentation typically uses biocompatible saline or silicone implants to change the size, shape, and projection of breast tissue. Breast augmentation may be a consideration after pregnancy and breastfeeding or after significant weight loss, when breast tissue may begin to sag and appear deflated.
Breast implants, combined with breast lift, can restore your tissue to a more natural position on the chest wall and give you a more youthful and feminine silhouette, providing more fullness in the upper part of the breast. During your consultation, we will evaluate your anatomy and physiology and discuss your goals to choose the right implant.
Breast implants may ultimately be removed for a number of reasons. In some cases, the implants could fail, for example when saline implants get a leak and become a “flat tire”. For other patients, they are simply in a different stage of life, and may want to have the implants removed, or smaller implants put into place. At that time, you can choose to replace them with the same implants, opt for a different size or projection, or have them removed without replacement.
The surgical approach used and your recovery depend on the reason the implants are being removed and whether you are replacing them.
A breast lift procedure uses incisions around the areola, down toward the base of the breast, and across the bottom of the breast, to remove excess skin, followed by reshaping of the breast tissue. Breast lift alone does not noticeably change the size of your breasts, but it will adjust them to a more natural and youthful placement on the chest wall.
We can perform a breast lift independently or combine it with an augmentation or reduction to achieve your cosmetic goals. When performed alone, the recovery is typically shorter than when it is combined with other procedures.
Breast reduction surgery is ideal for women who struggle with neck, back, and shoulder pain from large breast tissue, or who are just unhappy with larger breasts, or breasts that have lost their tone. Excess breast tissue can make it difficult to find bras and clothing to fit, engage in recreational activities, and impact your psychological health.
Skin irritation and yeast infection under the breasts are more likely and can cause skin breakdown. A breast reduction includes a breast lift to ensure your breasts are positioned naturally on your chest.
