Breast Surgery and Augmentation

Find Balance and Beauty With Our Breast Surgery Solutions

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.

Our board-certified plastic surgeon, with a wealth of experience spanning over 35 years, specializes in these transformative procedures.

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.

It's about aligning your outer appearance with your inner sense of self, allowing your confidence to flourish.

Understanding Breast Augmentation

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.

Preparing for Breast Augmentation

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.
