Breast Procedures

Breast augmentation surgery enhances breast volume and redefines breast shape. Ideal candidates for this procedure may have developed small breasts naturally or experienced deflation or a change in breast shape after weight loss. Breast augmentation is also suitable for women who are uncomfortable with their breasts’ shape and volume after childbirth.

Dr. Chin will help patients form a customized plan for breast augmentation that satisfies their desires and achieves a specific breast appearance. Some of these cosmetic desires include a natural look, fuller breasts, enhanced cleavage, more symmetrical breasts, and restored breast volume. Dr. Chin also has the latest selection of breast implant types available, including saline implants, silicone implants, and gummy bear implants, allowing patients to select the most appropriate implant type. Patients with deflated and sagging breasts may benefit from a combination of breast lift surgery and breast augmentation.

Breast reduction surgery corrects exceedingly large breasts by reducing their size and improving their shape. Candidates for breast reduction surgery may experience physical discomfort and emotional stress from their excessively large breasts. These physical issues may include back pain, shoulder pain, skin irritation, and problems breathing. Some of the emotional discomforts that arise from overly large breasts include anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.

Fortunately, Dr. Chin can use breast reduction surgery to eliminate excess tissue and carefully reposition and tighten the skin and remaining tissue. This will allow Dr. Chin to form smaller, more convenient breasts that appear youthful and natural. Breast reduction can also correct breast asymmetry by balancing the size of the larger breast with the opposite breast.

If needed, Dr. Chin may also use breast lift techniques as a part of your breast reduction to reduce the sagging caused by excessive weight. With breast reduction, women can feel empowered to appreciate their bodies and are encouraged to live fulfilling lives with a newfound self-confidence.

Breast implant volume revision can replace a patient’s original implants with implants of a different size and shape. After breast augmentation, many women are satisfied with their choice of implants; however, some women discover that their
initial implants do not fulfill their expectations or cosmetic goals.

The majority of implant volume revision cases are concerned with increasing the size of the implants. However, a decrease in implant size is common among patients who discover their breasts are too cumbersome for their physique or lifestyle, especially as they age. Breast implant volume revision can replace uncomfortable or disproportionate breast implant sizes and correct augmentation-related breast asymmetry.

Dr. Chin may combine your implant volume revision with a breast lift if you are looking to change to significantly smaller implants. This is because larger implants tend to cause premature breast sagging over long periods of time. A breast lift can revitalize the breasts to an aesthetically pleasing elevation and projection on the chest and provide better support for the implants. However, a breast lift is not required for all volume revisions.
