As skin and breast tissue elasticity decreases, you may notice your breast contours beginning to change. Genetic predisposition and fluctuating hormone levels — which may be exacerbated by factors like pregnancy, nursing, and the natural course of aging — can affect the breast proportions in many ways, including reduced volume, stretched skin, or a loss of shape. Unfortunately, this can cause the breasts to take on a flatter or more elongated appearance. Ptosis, or “drooping,” commonly develops, and many women experience a general loss of youthfulness. Whether your goals include restoring breast volume or gaining a lighter, more proportional breast size, board-certified plastic surgeon Eric Payne, MD can enhance your contours with the safest, most cutting-edge techniques in breast surgery.
Breast Lift
A breast lift is among the most effective procedures to rejuvenate sagging or aging breasts. Over time, the breast contours can flatten and lose shape as well as volume. This may be exacerbated by pregnancy and/or weight fluctuations. A breast lift, also called “mastopexy,” can be performed to reshape “deflated” contours, eliminate sagging, and reposition the breasts to a more youthful position on the chest wall.
Breast Reduction
In addition to making a patient look disproportionately top-heavy, overly large or dominant breasts can cause uncomfortable symptoms and potential health concerns. Back pain, rashes underneath the breasts, difficulty exercising, and shoulder grooving are all common symptoms experienced by women with excessive breast tissue. Breast reduction is considered one of the most rewarding cosmetic surgeries available and can be performed for cosmetic and/or functional reasons to achieve a lighter, more manageable breast size.
Breast Augmentation
Breast implants are a sophisticated and highly effective method of enhancing the volume, shape, fullness, and symmetry of the breasts. With breast augmentation, patients can enlarge their breast size and achieve more shapely contours using silicone or saline implants. Our team can help you choose the most ideal size, shape, and type of implant to achieve your individual goals.
Inverted Nipple Correction
Dr. Payne understands that inverted nipples can be a source of insecurity or embarrassment for patients. With inverted nipple correction, those bothered by disproportionate nipples can achieve the projected and symmetrical appearance they desire. This procedure is designed to bring the nipples outward, creating a natural protrusion and a lifelong enhancement.
