Procedures

Surgery to reduce and reshape the Breasts by removing excess Skin, Breast Tissue and Fat.  It is often done to alleviate Back and Neck Pain, as well as improve one’s physical appearance, especially after losing weight, pregnancy and breast feeding.  A reduction of enlarged Areolar (pigmented area) can also be done at the same time.

Surgery done to increase the size, volume and projection of the Breasts.  It can be used to bring your Breasts into proportion with the rest of your body, correct Asymmetrical or Congenital Defects and increase lost volume from weight loss, pregnancy and breastfeeding.  Dr Barnes uses Silicone Implants (Eurosilicone or Natrelle) over Saline as they tend to feel and look more like Breast Tissue.  Silicone Implants have had numerous studies over the years and have been deemed safe by the FDA.

There are different sizes and shapes of Implants.  Dr Barnes can help you to determine what is best for your shape and size.  Implants are inserted through an Incision in the Inframammary Folds (under the Breasts).  They can be placed Subglandularly (above the Muscle) or Submuscularly (under the Muscle).  At times, you may need to combine a Breast Lift / Mastopexy with insertion of Implants if the Breasts have sagged significantly.

Surgery done to lift and reshape the Breasts.  You can also reduce the size of the Areolar (pigmented area) at the same time.

A Mastopexy will not increase the size of the Breast so if you desire to increase the size, then you would need to opt for Implants to be inserted at the same time.
