Breast Surgery

Breast augmentation adds volume to the breast with an implant to increase fullness and create better balance with the rest of your figure. There are different types of breast implants available and three different approaches for augmentation. A small incision can be placed under the breast, at the edge or the areola, or in an armpit skin fold.

Breast Augmentation

There is no single best type of implant and approach for every augmentation. Breasts are extremely different and different approaches give the best results in certain breasts. During your consultation, Dr. Forley will discuss your preferences regarding breast size, incision location, and how you would like your breasts to look. After examining you, he will recommend a range of options for implant type, size and incision location that will be best for your breast and will balance the rest of your figure.  He will also discuss the placement of the implant behind the breast or behind the pectoral muscle on the chest wall to achieve the most natural appearing breast possible.

Excessively large breasts can produce many functional problems such as neck and back discomfort, shoulder grooving, rash and skin problems, and problems wearing clothing. Breast reduction successfully reduces the excess size and weight of the breast, tailors the skin to reposition the breast mound upward, and repositions the nipple areola complex onto the newly shaped and positioned breast mound.

In some cases, the problem is primarily that breasts may be sagging. In these situations, an uplift or mastopexy of the breast is recommended. Occasionally this needs to be combined with an implant where there is inadequate breast volume remaining.
