Breast Enhancement
Throughout civilization, the breast has been a powerful symbol of femininity. Going back to the time of Cleopatra, women have sought ways to enhance their bosom. Over the past generation, plastic surgeons have developed and refined breast implants and the techniques for augmentation. Over two million women with small breasts and post-pregnancy loss of breast volume have benefited from surgical breast enhancement. They have acquired an improved self-image and a more proportional figure that better accommodates clothes -- whether it's a business suit, an evening gown, a sweater, or a bikini!
To remove any lingering doubt associated with connective tissue diseases, safe saline implants have replaced gel-filled implants for use in routine breast augmentation.
Specific options of size, positioning above or below chest muscle, location of incisions, and smooth versus textured implants are all carefully considered. The goal is always to produce a beautiful result that looks and feels as natural as possible. Dr. Friedman reports that some patients claim that even their husbands are unaware that they have breast implants!
Breast Lift
In addition to diminished breast size, changing breast shape such as drooping (ptosis) can affect breast appearance. After having children, for example, or just because of aging, the breasts may droop or even lose volume. Reshaping the breasts with a lift (mastopexy) -- sometimes to include a volume increase with implants -- can restore (or even create for the first time) a prettier, more youthful breast with a size that is more proportionate to the rest of the body.
A personal consultation with Dr. Friedman can answer your questions and address your concerns to help you decide whether breast enhancement surgery is for you. Arrangements can even be made to have you speak to some of his patients. His intention is to make you comfortable with your decision and then pleased with your results.
