Breast

Breast reduction surgery is one of the most highly rated plastic surgery procedures for patient satisfaction. Not only can breast reduction improve the balance and proportions of your figure, but the health benefits of the procedure can improve you posture, comfort, and ability to lead an active lifestyle.

Breast augmentation is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures performed in the country. Of the hundreds of thousands of women who undergo the procedure every year, the overwhelming majority love their results and experience no complications.

Breast implant removal, known as explant surgery, is performed on patients who experience a problem with their breast implants, or simply prefer to be implant-free. If you would like to remove your breast implants for medical, aesthetic, or personal reasons, explant surgery can help you achieve your goals.

While complications are rare when breast augmentation is performed by a highly skilled and experienced board-certified plastic surgeon, they do occur on occasion. One of the less common complications is called a double bubble.

Double bubble occurs when folds appear beneath the breasts due to the implant shifting positions following surgery. This creates an unnatural indentation across the bottom of the breast. It is most visible when your arms are raised above your head, and it results in a “four-beast” appearance.

Gynecomastia is a condition that causes enlarged male breast tissue, and it is much more common than most people realize. Over 50% of males will develop gynecomastia at some point in their lives. If enlarged breast tissue causes you self-consciousness, Dr. Bogue can perform male breast reduction to restore a more masculine appearance.

Breast augmentation is an effective way to increase your breast size and achieve a more attractive breast shape. When performed by an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon, breast augmentation can deliver beautiful, natural looking results that last a long time. However, it’s important to understand that your implants aren’t meant to last forever. At some point, you will most likely need to undergo a breast implant revision procedure.

If you're a woman interested in breast augmentation surgery you may have lots of questions regarding how the procedure works. One of the most common questions concerns the timeline of the procedure and recovery. In the slide presentation below, we provide a general outline of what you can expect in terms of milestones for your breast augmentation surgery.

Breast surgery encompasses a wide array of procedures for the breasts. From enhancing the size to male breast reduction, these procedures are tailored to your individual needs and cosmetic goals.

Breast implants are durable medical devices that are made to last. However, just like other devices such as the pacemaker, they may need to be replaced in the future to address health or cosmetic issues.
