Breast Procedures
To achieve aesthetic beauty in your breast, you need harmony between the breast skin envelope, the volume of the breast parenchyma tissue, and the nipple position. During your consultation, Dr. Vu will address these factors. Then, based on the breast examination and measurements, her goal is to provide you with proper information and recommendation of breast surgery options depending on what your concerns and desires may be.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure for breast enhancement to restore the natural and aesthetic beauty of the breast. In order to recapture that natural beauty, we want to achieve harmony between the breast skin envelope, the volume of breast tissue (parenchyma), and the nipple position. During your breast augmentation consultation, Dr. Vu will address all the breast augmentation issues with you.
Mastopexy
Breast Lift
Breast lift surgery (mastopexy) removes excess skin, repositions the breast tissue (parenchyma), and moves the nipples back to a more aesthetic position. The causes for mastopexy surgery can be breast ptosis, droopy nipple, or loss of volume due to hormonal changes from pregnancy, weight loss, or simply the aging process.
Breast Reduction
Breast reduction (reduction mammoplasty) is the removal of excess breast tissue and skin, and repositioning of the nipple areolar complex to allow your breasts to be more proportionate to your body. Large breasts may interfere with your daily activities due to back pain, neck and shoulder pain, posture problems, and rashes under the inframammary fold where maintaining hygiene may be difficult.
Breast Reconstruction
Are you a cancer victim? Have you suffered a debilitating disfigurement due to a mastectomy? Are you ready for breast reconstruction to restore your sense of self?
Breast reconstruction is primarily for patients who have had a mastectomy, secondary to breast disease or breast cancer. The breast tissue and nipples are excised by the general surgeon and the plastic surgeon then performs breast reconstruction to help recreate a breast mound to achieve a natural-looking breast.
Breast Implant Exchange & Removal
Those who desire to have previously placed breast prostheses (implants) removed for symptomatic, medical, or legal reasons and wish to have new implants inserted.
