Breast Surgery

As part of its full-body surgical suite, this Chicago Old Town practice offers breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, and breast revision procedures. Breast reduction surgery is available for patients with macromastia-related symptoms including back pain, shoulder grooving, and skin irritation, with potential for insurance coverage where medical necessity is established. Breast revision corrects complications or unsatisfactory outcomes from prior augmentation. All procedures are performed under general anaesthesia with recovery guidance provided during pre-operative consultation.

Breast surgery at this Chicago facial plastic surgery practice is offered as part of an expanded body surgical menu that extends the team's facial plastic expertise into body-level procedures. Breast augmentation uses implants to enhance volume, projection, and shape, with implant type, profile, pocket selection, and incision placement determined during a thorough pre-operative consultation that accounts for each patient's existing breast tissue, skin envelope, and aesthetic goals. For patients seeking to restore or enhance breast shape without implants, fat transfer augmentation is available using the patient's own harvested adipose tissue — providing a natural alternative with no implant-related concerns and yielding a modest, natural-looking volume increase. Breast lift surgery (mastopexy) addresses ptosis — descent of the nipple-areola complex below the inframammary fold level — restoring youthful projection and pole fullness through strategic skin excision and parenchymal reshaping, and is commonly combined with augmentation for patients who have experienced volume loss alongside ptosis. Breast reduction addresses macromastia: the procedure removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce volume, relieve physical symptoms including neck and back pain, shoulder strap grooving, rash beneath the fold, and restricted activity, and reshape the breast to a more proportionate and lifted position. Where macromastia is functionally documented, insurance coverage for the reduction component may be available. Breast revision surgery addresses patients who have experienced implant-related complications — including capsular contracture, implant malposition, rupture, or rippling — or who are dissatisfied with the aesthetic outcome of prior augmentation, requiring implant exchange, capsulorrhaphy, pocket conversion, or adjunct fat grafting to achieve a satisfactory result.
