Columbia, Maryland Breast Enhancement

Breast Enlargement
Breast enlargement, or augmentation mammoplasty, was the most frequently performed surgical cosmetic procedure in the U.S. in 2006, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). Here in Columbia, Maryland, breast enlargement can give women with small or asymmetrical breasts a fuller, firmer, better-proportioned look through the placement of saline (salt water) or silicone gel breast implants underneath either breast tissue or the chest wall muscle. Women in Columbia, Maryland and Baltimore elect breast enhancement for many different medical and aesthetic motivations, including to balance breast size or to compensate for reduced breast mass after pregnancy or surgery. The procedure may be combined with a breast lift for even more satisfying results.

Breast Lift
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is performed to return youthful shape and lift to breasts that have sagged as a result of weight loss, pregnancy, loss of the skin’s natural elasticity or simply the effects of aging and gravity. Additionally, a breast lift can reduce the size of the areola (the dark skin surrounding the nipple). Many women complement their breast lift in Columbia, Maryland with breast augmentation for added volume and firmness.

Breast Reduction
Breast reduction in Columbia, Maryland is typically performed to provide relief from the back and neck pain, poor posture, rashes and low self-esteem often resulting from large breasts. Also known as reduction mammaplasty, the procedure removes fat and glandular tissue and tightens skin to produce smaller, lighter breasts that are in a healthier proportion to the rest of the body.

Breast Reconstruction
Modern plastic surgery makes it possible to construct a natural-looking breast after mastectomy (breast removal) for cancer or other diseases. Reconstruction of the breast can sometimes be initiated immediately following mastectomy, so that the patient wakes with a new breast mound. Alternatively, reconstruction may begin years after mastectomy. There are several ways to reconstruct the breast, both with and without the use of breast implants. Dr. Chang will be happy to discuss which option best suits your body type, lifestyle and recovery goals.

Male Breast Reduction
Enlarged male breasts, a condition known as gynecomastia, affects nearly 40 to 60% of men, often with no known cause. Male breasts can prove highly embarrassing, as well as physically uncomfortable. For those men who feel self-conscious about enlarged breasts, there is breast reduction surgery. The procedure removes fat and/or glandular tissue from the breasts, and in some cases, excess skin as well. The result is a flatter, firmer chest.
