Breast Augmentation 

Breast Augmentation — also known as breast enlargement or mammoplasty — is a procedure performed for women who may be dissatisfied with their breast size or who wish to restore lost breast shape and volume after weight loss or pregnancy.

Women choose breast augmentation for various reasons including small breasts, loss in breast volume following pregnancy, asymmetrical breasts (one breast larger than another), altered breast shape due to various conditions, or reconstruction following surgery for breast mass. Overall, breast augmentation surgery in Pittsburgh is an elective surgery option that uses breast implants to create fuller breasts and improve the balance of your figure. The implants used for breast augmentation may also be used to reconstruct a breast after mastectomy or injury.

Breast augmentation does not correct some drooping breasts issues. If you want your breasts to be lifted due to issues with sagging, a breast lift may be required in conjunction with your breast augmentation procedure.

Breast Lift

a Breast Lift – also known as mastopexy – is a surgical process that raises, reshapes, and firms the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. A breast lift can reposition the breasts to a higher, more youthful position on the chest. Breast lift surgery may be done in conjunction with breast augmentation to help lift the bust by increasing the volume of the breast.

Some women lose their youthful breast shape and firmness, due to pregnancy and breastfeeding. It is not uncommon for breasts to sag or lose shape and volume due to weight fluctuations, aging and some hereditary issues. Additionally, some breasts – especially after a woman has experienced childbirth – have a flatter, elongated shape (or are pendulous). In these cases, nipples may begin to point downward or fall below the breast crease. Some breasts have stretched skin and enlarged areolas, and on some occasions one breast may naturally reside lower than the other. Many women choose to enhance their appearance with a breast lift that rejuvenates the figure via a breast profile that is youthful and uplifted.
