Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation uses implants to increase breast size, restore volume, or achieve improved symmetry. Implant type, size, and placement are selected after a detailed consultation and anatomical assessment. The procedure can address changes from weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or natural development.
Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
A breast lift is performed to correct ptosis (sagging) by tightening breast tissue, removing excess skin, and elevating the nipple-areolar complex. This procedure may be recommended after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss. While it improves shape and position, it does not increase breast size unless combined with augmentation.
Breast Augmentation with Lift
In cases where both volume enhancement and elevation are desired, augmentation can be combined with a breast lift. This dual procedure addresses both size and sagging, restoring a more youthful contour while improving projection. The lift component repositions the nipple-areolar complex and tightens surrounding tissue, while the augmentation adds volume.
Breast Reduction
Breast reduction removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce breast size and improve proportion. This procedure may help alleviate physical symptoms such as neck and back discomfort, as well as improve fit in clothing. The surgical plan is designed to create a balanced contour while preserving nipple sensation when possible.
Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction restores the breast shape and contour following mastectomy or lumpectomy. Options include implant-based reconstruction and autologous tissue (flap) reconstruction. The approach depends on medical history, anatomy, and patient preference. Reconstruction may be performed immediately after mastectomy or in a delayed fashion.
Breast Explant Surgery
Breast explant surgery involves the removal of breast implants, with or without removal of the surrounding scar tissue (capsulectomy). Patients may choose this procedure due to implant-related concerns, changes in personal preference, or medical reasons. In some cases, a breast lift or fat transfer is performed at the same time to improve shape after implant removal.
Personalized Surgical Planning
Dr. Rodriguez develops surgical plans based on each patient’s anatomy, goals, and health history. This process may involve choosing between different techniques, deciding whether to combine procedures, and reviewing recovery timelines. All recommendations are made with patient safety as the top priority.
Recovery and Follow-Up
Recovery timelines vary depending on the procedure and whether surgeries are combined. Most breast procedures require a few weeks of rest before resuming strenuous activity, with final results developing over several months. Dr. Rodriguez provides detailed aftercare instructions and schedules follow-up visits to monitor healing and address any concerns.
