We carefully recommend procedures according to the breast issues our patients want to address or the enhancement they want to have in their chest area.

Dr. Lowen and his surgical team ensure that every patient gets their desired enhancement through planned breast procedures. We will guide the patient from preparation up to the recovery period.

Breast Procedures Overview

Breast procedures, also called mammoplasty, are surgical procedures performed in the breast area. These procedures can address specific issues or enhance the appearance of the breasts. The popular breast procedures are breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, and breast reconstruction. Here at An Enhanced You Cosmetic Surgery Medical Group, we primarily offer breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, and breast implant removal.

BREAST AUGMENTATION

Breast augmentation uses implants to improve the volume and fullness of the breasts. Patients can choose between saline and silicone implants. For patients choosing silicone implants, they can benefit from form-stable “gummy bear” implants. Dr. Lowen also employs Keller Funnel which uses small incisions.

BREAST LIFT

Breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a breast procedure that addresses sagging breasts. Dr. Lowen usually recommends this procedure to women with stretched breasts due to childbirth or weight change. Its goal is to recreate the ideal breast shape. It may involve reducing, elevating, and repositioning the nipple at the center of the breast area. For optimal results, the patient may undergo a breast lift with implants.

BREAST REDUCTION

Breast reduction is a procedure that involves reducing the size and volume of the breasts. We recommend this procedure to patients who are bothered by the appearance of their large breasts as well as women who experience physical discomfort due to their size or heaviness.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT PROCEDURE

With different breast procedures available, the patient may find it challenging when choosing breast surgery. The patient can start by determining their cosmetic goals or concerns that they wish to address with the procedure. The next step will be to schedule a consultation with Dr. Lowen. He will help the patient create a personalized treatment plan based on the current breast condition and desired results during the consultation process.

BEFORE AND AFTER PROCEDURES

Before any breast surgery, the patient will need to go through pre-operative preparations to prepare the body for the procedure. Dr. Lowen will require the patient to undergo a mammogram if you are 35 years old or above. You also need to stop smoking to minimize the risk of infection and have a faster recovery.
You will also have to stop taking aspirin, ibuprofen, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements that can cause blood thinning because it increases the risk of bleeding.

After breast surgery, you will use supportive garments to keep the breasts in place. Dr. Lowen will provide you with aftercare instructions to follow during the recovery process. For example, you cannot perform certain physical activities for the first three weeks as that will require arm movement and brisk walking. Scar maintenance will be part of post-operative care.
