Breast Procedures
Changes from aging, hormones, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or genetics can affect breast size and shape. Dr. Lee Pu offers a full range of advanced breast procedures to enhance, reduce, lift, or reconstruct the breasts with personalized care.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation can enhance naturally small breasts or restore volume lost from aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations. It also provides breast cancer survivors an option to regain their femininity after a mastectomy. Modern breast augmentation is a safe, customizable procedure designed to achieve each patient’s unique aesthetic goals.
Breast Implant Removal
Breast implant removal, or breast explantation, is the surgery to remove saline or silicone implants from a previous augmentation. Many women choose this procedure for personal reasons, such as preferring a smaller bust or avoiding the negative stereotypes sometimes associated with larger breasts.
Breast Lift
A breast lift (mastopexy) is a surgical procedure that reshapes and repositions sagging breasts. Drooping, or breast ptosis, can result from pregnancy, breastfeeding, significant weight loss, or aging. This procedure helps create a more youthful breast contour for women unhappy with their current shape.
Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction typically involves multiple procedures carried out in stages. It can be performed immediately during a mastectomy or delayed until after healing and completion of cancer treatments. This surgery, done by a plastic surgeon, restores the appearance and feel of the breast following a mastectomy.
Breast Reduction
Breast reduction surgery reduces breast size and reshapes their appearance, improving comfort and balance. It offers long-lasting results, though future sagging or size changes may occur with weight fluctuations.
Breast Revision
Breast revision surgery addresses changes or complications with implants over time, such as rupture, asymmetry, or displacement, often needed 10 to 15 years after the initial augmentation to restore a natural, balanced appearance.
Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia is the abnormal enlargement of breast tissue in men, typically caused by hormonal imbalances, genetics, aging, or certain medications. It can affect one or both breasts and may lead to discomfort or self-consciousness.
