For many, the decision to undergo a breast reduction or lift is about more than aesthetic preferences—it's about reclaiming comfort, confidence, and a sense of balance. A breast reduction can alleviate physical discomfort and health issues associated with overly large breasts, while a breast lift rejuvenates your figure by restoring a youthful, uplifted shape. These procedures empower you to not only look your best but also feel your best, enhancing both your physical well-being and self-image.
At Island Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Center, we understand the profound impact that breast reductions and lifts can have on your quality of life. Our board-certified plastic surgeon, with a wealth of experience spanning over 35 years, specializes in these transformative procedures. We are committed to providing personalized care, ensuring each patient receives the highest standard of treatment that harmoniously aligns with their individual needs and aesthetic goals.
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at enhancing the size, shape, or symmetry of the breasts. It involves the placement of breast implants beneath the breast tissue or chest muscle to achieve the desired augmentation.
During breast augmentation, the surgeon makes incisions in strategic locations, such as under the breast crease, around the areola, or in the armpit. Through these incisions, implants are inserted and positioned to achieve the desired volume and contour.
Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at reducing the size and reshaping the breasts to alleviate physical discomfort, improve symmetry, and enhance overall appearance. It is commonly sought by individuals with disproportionately large breasts (macromastia) that may cause back, neck, or shoulder pain, as well as posture issues and skin irritation.
During a breast reduction, Dr. Gallagher makes incisions around the areola, extending vertically down the breast and sometimes horizontally along the breast crease. Excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are then removed, and the remaining tissue is reshaped and lifted to achieve a more proportionate and balanced breast size and contour.
Mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift, is a surgical procedure aimed at lifting and reshaping the breasts to achieve a more youthful and perky appearance. It is sought by individuals who experience sagging breasts (ptosis) due to factors such as aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss.
During a mastopexy, incisions are made around the areola, sometimes extending vertically down the breast and occasionally horizontally along the breast crease, depending on the degree of ptosis. Excess skin is removed, and the breast tissue is lifted and reshaped to improve projection and contour. If necessary, the nipple and areola may also be repositioned to achieve a more natural appearance.
Implant replacement, also known as breast implant revision surgery, is a surgical procedure aimed at replacing existing breast implants with new ones. It is sought by individuals who have previously undergone breast augmentation and may need or desire implant replacement due to reasons such as implant rupture, capsular contracture (scar tissue formation around the implant), implant malposition, size change preferences, or aesthetic dissatisfaction.
During implant replacement surgery, Dr. Gallagher typically makes incisions in the same location as the original augmentation surgery. The existing implants are removed, and the breast pocket may be adjusted or modified as needed. New implants are then inserted and positioned to achieve the desired size, shape, and contour.
Fat grafting, also known as fat transfer or fat injection, is a cosmetic procedure aimed at enhancing contours or restoring volume in various areas of the body. It involves harvesting fat from one area of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs, via liposuction, and then transferring it to another area that requires augmentation or enhancement.
During fat grafting, the harvested fat is processed to remove impurities and excess fluids before being injected into the desired treatment area. Common areas for fat grafting include the face (for volumizing cheeks or filling in wrinkles), breasts (for augmentation or reconstruction), buttocks (for enhancement, also known as Brazilian Butt Lift), and hands (for rejuvenation).
Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring the shape, size, and appearance of the breast(s) following mastectomy or lumpectomy for breast cancer treatment or prevention. It is also an option for individuals who have congenital breast abnormalities or have undergone breast removal due to trauma or other medical conditions.
During breast reconstruction, various techniques are used to recreate a natural-looking breast mound. This may involve using breast implants, tissue expanders, or autologous tissue (flap surgery) harvested from other areas of the body, such as the abdomen, back, or buttocks.
Nipple reduction is a surgical procedure aimed at decreasing the size, projection, or prominence of the nipples. It is sought by individuals who are unhappy with the appearance of their nipples due to factors such as enlargement, elongation, or asymmetry.
During nipple reduction surgery, incisions are typically made around the perimeter of the nipple or within the areola. Excess tissue is then removed, and the nipple is reshaped and resized to achieve the desired appearance. The incisions are closed with sutures, resulting in a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing nipple size and shape.

Often known as a “boob job,” breast augmentation is a surgical technique involving either breast implants or fat transfer to enhance or modify the shape and size of your breasts. This outpatient surgery aims to replenish breast volume, correct the natural asymmetry of the breasts, and achieve a more uniformly rounded shape of the breasts.
Deciding on breast augmentation is a deeply personal decision. If it's something you've been contemplating, our clinic is ready to assist. Remember, there’s no universal approach to this surgery; thus, choosing a surgeon who genuinely understands and respects your objectives is crucial. Moreover, it’s essential to ensure you are undergoing this procedure for your own reasons and not to fulfill someone else's expectations.
