Breast Asymmetry Correction
Asymmetry correction is a cosmetic breast procedure designed to correct lopsided or uneven breasts. Women with uneven breasts may struggle to find bras or clothing items that fit properly and may suffer from body image issues. They may also have back pain and shoulder pain, due to uneven weight on the upper body.
This surgery can address the size, shape, and position, of the breasts in order to restore a more balanced appearance. As well as this, correcting uneven breasts can improve patients’ comfort levels and posture. Since every woman has different needs, the procedure is tailored to the patient’s health, level of asymmetry, and preference. It may involve either breast implants, breast fat grafting, or a blend of techniques. The surgeon will operate on one or both of the breasts in order to create a more ideal shape. By reshaping the breast/s, the surgery can create better proportions and give patients a boost in confidence and comfort.
Breast Augmentation
Also called breast enlargement, this procedure uses implants to increase the size of the breasts. It is of the most popular cosmetic surgeries, with many women seeking the procedure in order to restore volume after weight loss or pregnancy. Implants come in different shapes, sizes, and textures, as well as different substances. You can choose between profiles and sizes of implant, so as to achieve your desired look. Dr Fraser-Kirk uses silicone implants in order to achieve natural, lasting results and avoid complications. Additionally, he will use the best surgical techniques to suit your body and ideals.
If you are seeking to enlarge your naturally small breasts or restore volume after weight loss, this could be the right procedure for you. With implants, patients can achieve a more ideal breast contour and increased confidence in their appearance.
Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
Due to age and weight loss, the breasts can naturally change shape over time. Some women become concerned about breasts that sag or sit in a low position on the chest wall, and this can lead to self-image issues. By raising the breasts, surgeons can help patients regain confidence in their breast shape.
A breast lift is designed to raise the breasts for an improved shape and position. Breast lift surgery can make the breasts look fuller and firmer, as well as improve the shape or position of the nipple. Your surgeon will use techniques that best suit your health and breast shape. In some cases, patients may choose to combine the surgery with implants in order to achieve the desired enhancement. The surgeon will reshape the breast and remove excess skin from the area, leaving patients with a more pleasing, youthful appearance. If you are concerned about excess skin or drooping of the breasts, this surgery might be ideal for you.
Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction can be a life-changing procedure for many women. Generally, women may seek this procedure after mastectomy in order to restore a breast shape that looks and feels natural. With an empathetic approach, Dr Fraser-Kirk works with patients to develop a surgical plan that best suits their needs. You will speak about your health and past surgeries, as well as your goals and desires for your procedure.
A variety of surgical techniques can be used, depending on your specific body, health, and desired outcomes. The procedure can involve flap surgery, augmentation, fat grafting, and nipple reconstruction. Whereas some patients will have silicone implants inserted, others will benefit from having tissue taken from other areas of the body and transferred to the breasts. If you are seeking breast reconstruction after mastectomy, a discussion with an experienced surgeon will help outline your options. After having this surgery, women can experience restored, natural looking breasts and a boost in confidence.
Breast Reduction (Reduction mammoplasty)
Women with very large breasts may experience back pain, neck pain, and posture problems. Having excess weight on the chest can make everyday activities difficult, such as exercising and finding clothes and bras that fit well. As well as general discomfort, disproportionate breast size can also make women feel self-conscious about their looks. Breast reduction removes excess breast tissue to create a smaller, lighter breast shape, tailored to the patient’s goals. By removing this excess tissue, the procedure alleviates the pain and discomfort caused by large breasts. Women can then enjoy a lighter upper chest that is in proportion to their frame, leading to increased confidence, comfort, and better overall quality of life.
Your surgeon will choose the best surgical technique for your case in order to give you the results you desire. If you are struggling with overly large breasts, this could be the right procedure for you.
DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction
Breast DIEP (deep inferior epigastric perforator) flap is a type of surgical breast reconstruction procedure. The procedure aims to restore a natural-looking breast after mastectomy by using tissue from the abdomen. During the surgery, the surgeon rebuilds the breast by taking skin and fat tissue from the abdomen and moving it to the chest, sculpting a natural breast shape.
This breast reconstruction procedure can help women who have had a mastectomy feel more comfortable and confident in their skin. Plastic surgeon Dr Fraser-Kirkis an expert in this type of reconstructive breast surgery. He takes an empathetic and patient-focused approach, helping patients through each step of their journey.
Fat Grafting
Breast fat grafting, also called autologous fat transfer, is a common surgical technique that involves taking fat from one area of the body and injecting it into the breasts. This procedure can be ideal for women who are seeking to alter or enhance their breast shape, but are not suited to implants. Fat grafting achieves a milder breast enhancement, for a more natural and subtle look. The procedure also offers the benefits of fat removal from unwanted areas of the body.
During a fat grafting procedure, the surgeon uses liposuction to extract fat from the donor site. This is usually either the thighs, hips, or abdomen. The graft then goes through a process of purification in order to prepare it for injection into the breasts. The surgeon will then insert the purified fat tissue into the breasts to create the desired shape and size. Through this process, patients can experience fuller breasts without the need for synthetic implants.
