Breast Surgery (Augmentation, Lift & Reduction)

Dr. Law performs the full range of breast surgery in Dallas: augmentation with silicone or saline implants (or fat transfer), mastopexy (breast lift) using anchor, lollipop, or circumareolar techniques, and reduction mammoplasty for patients experiencing physical discomfort. Procedures range from two to four hours and are performed outpatient. Recovery timelines vary by procedure: augmentation patients may return to desk work within one week, while lift and reduction patients typically take two to five days off, with full healing over six to twelve weeks.

Law Plastic Surgery offers a comprehensive breast surgery program in Dallas, covering cosmetic augmentation, functional reduction, and ptosis correction (lift), as well as combined procedures that address multiple concerns in a single operative session. Breast augmentation is one of the most requested procedures at the practice. Dr. Law works with patients to select implant type (silicone gel — valued for its natural feel and appearance — or saline), profile, surface texture, and shape (round or form-stable gummy bear) based on body proportions and goals. Implants can be placed behind the breast tissue (subglandular) or beneath the chest muscle (submuscular), with incision options in the armpit (axillary), breast crease (inframammary), or at the edge of the areola. For patients seeking augmentation without implants, fat transfer is available: liposuction harvests fat from a donor site such as the abdomen or flanks, which is purified and injected into the breast — typically requiring four to five hours and producing a more modest, natural-looking size increase. Breast lift (mastopexy) corrects drooping (ptosis) that results from pregnancy, nursing, weight fluctuation, or natural aging. Dr. Law selects the incision pattern based on the degree of ptosis: the circumareolar (donut) technique for mild cases, the lollipop/vertical incision for moderate descent, and the anchor/inverted-T pattern for significant ptosis. Lift procedures typically take two to four hours; most patients return to desk work within three to five days and resume full activity by six weeks. Breast reduction (reduction mammoplasty) addresses macromastia — disproportionately large breasts causing chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain, bra strap grooving, skin irritation beneath the breast fold, nerve compression, and exercise limitations. Dr. Law uses the anchor, lollipop, or liposuction-only technique depending on breast composition and the volume to be removed. When medical necessity is documented, reduction may qualify for partial coverage under Aetna, United Healthcare, and other major insurance plans. All breast procedures are performed outpatient at a certified surgery center. The Forest Lane location in the Medical City Dallas complex is convenient for patients across Dallas, Plano, Richardson, Garland, and greater DFW.
