Breast lift or Mastopexy is a procedure to raise and reshape sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the remaining tissue and nipples.

Over time, the effects of gravity along with the skin's elasticity begin to have an effect on the appearance of a woman's breasts. These factors, combined with pregnancies and nursing, will often cause the breasts to lose their youthful shape and firmness. A breast lift is frequently combined with breast augmentation to achieve both an increase in both firmness and size. Before and After pictures for this procedure can also be viewed in our photo gallery.

Breast Reduction or Reduction mammaplasty involves removal of glandular tissue, fat, and skin from the breasts to make them smaller, lighter, and firmer.

Large, pendulous breasts may cause a woman to potentially experience various medical problems by the excessive weight of the breast tissue. Problems with posture, skeletal deformities, back and neck pain, skin irritations and breathing problems are common with this condition. Bra straps often leave indentations in the shoulder area. Breast reduction results in breasts that are better-shaped in proportion to the rest of the body.

Gynecomastia is a procedure to reduce the size of male breasts through liposuction and/or removal of excess glandular tissue.

Although rarely discussed, enlarged male breasts is a common condition. Gynecomastia affects approximately 40 to 60 percent of men. There is 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 results in a contoured chest that is flatter and firmer.
