Breast Surgery

Anderson Sobel Cosmetic Surgery in Bellevue, WA offers a full range of breast procedures including breast augmentation with silicone, saline, or fat transfer, breast lift (mastopexy) with optional fat grafting for added volume, breast lift with augmentation, breast reduction, and breast implant removal. Dr. Alexander Sobel tailors implant selection — type, profile, size, and pocket placement — to each patient's existing tissue and aesthetic objectives. Fat grafting to the breast is available for patients seeking natural augmentation without implants. Seattle-area patients benefit from an on-site accredited surgical suite, avoiding hospital facility fees.

Breast surgery at Anderson Sobel Cosmetic Surgery encompasses the complete range of aesthetic and reconstructive breast procedures, with pricing that makes the Bellevue, WA practice competitive relative to Seattle city centre practices. Breast augmentation is the most frequently requested procedure, performed using silicone gel implants, saline implants, or autologous fat transfer. Silicone gel implants are available in a range of profiles — moderate, moderate plus, high, and extra high — with the choice of profile driving the amount of forward projection relative to the base width of the implant; this selection is critical to creating a result proportionate to the patient's chest wall width and existing breast footprint. Saline implants offer the advantage of a smaller access incision and in-situ volume adjustment at the time of surgery. Fat transfer breast augmentation harvests adipose tissue from a donor site — typically the abdomen, flanks, or thighs — processes it via centrifugation, and injects it into the breast to increase volume by one cup size or less using entirely autologous material; this technique avoids implant-related risks and is suited to patients seeking modest, natural-looking augmentation. Breast lift (mastopexy) addresses ptosis — the descent of the breast on the chest wall with associated nipple-areola complex drooping — that results from pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuation, or natural aging. The operative technique is selected based on the degree of ptosis and the patient's breast volume: a periareolar lift suits mild cases, a lollipop (vertical) incision addresses moderate ptosis, and a full anchor incision is used for severe ptosis or when significant skin resection is required. Fat grafting to the upper pole of the breast can be incorporated simultaneously to restore volume in patients with deflated upper breast tissue without adding an implant. Breast lift with augmentation combines mastopexy and implant placement in a single procedure — a technically demanding combination that requires planning of the skin resection pattern around the implant's anticipated footprint and projection. Breast reduction (reduction mammoplasty) addresses macromastia through resection of excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin, reshaping the breast mound while repositioning the nipple-areola complex. Seattle-area patients considering breast surgery are encouraged to schedule a consultation at the Bellevue practice to review implant options, review 3D simulations where available, and receive a personalised operative plan.
