For many men and women, warmer months have them thinking about breast surgery. Enhancements, reductions and lifts are surgeries that can make a world of difference for both men and women when it comes to body proportion and body image.

Breast Lift

Breast lift surgery is ideal for women who find that gravity is not their friend. Also, women who have breast fed or who have lost large amounts of weight find that their breasts may not look like they used to.

A breast lift, clinically known as Mastopexy is performed under general anesthesia. Incisions are made to the areola which is repositioned.  Then Dr. Wojtanowski reshapes the underlying breast tissue to improve contour and firmness. 

Breast Lift surgery is commonly done with Breast Augmentation for those looking for volume, in addition to the lift. 

Breast Augmentation

This surgery uses breast implants to increase the size of your breasts or restore breast volume that has been lost after weight reduction or pregnancy. Mammaplasty can increase fullness, improve balance to your figure and enhance self image. 

We use Natrelle breast implants (gel and saline options)  to enhance both the size and shape of your breasts. The surgery is done with an incision made under each breast at the crease and the implants are inserted in the proper position either above or below the chest muscle. The type of implant and the incision used to place the implant will vary with each patient.

Breast Augmentation surgery can help women enhance their breast size and find the proportions they have always desired.

Breast Reduction

Patients with large breasts can often experience back pain and concern that the size of their breasts are too large for their bodies.

Breast reduction surgery is sometimes performed by removal of excess fat using liposuction techniques. Incisions are made around the areola which is repositioned in proportion with the reshaped, smaller breast volume. 

Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is a condition where men experience larger breasts. This may happen due to major weight loss or genetics. In any case, it can have men too embarrassed to take their shirts off at the beach or pool.    

Gynecomastia surgery is very successful in reducing and correcting enlarged and over developed breasts on men. In some cases, liposuction techniques may be used alone, yet in more severe cases, Dr. Wojtanowski will reposition the nipple to achieve the most natural looking result.
