What is Cosmetic Breast Surgery?
Cosmetic Breast Surgery at Cosmetic Surgery Associates includes Breast Augmentation, Breast Lift (mastopexy) and Breast Reduction with lift. These procedures are typically performed in an outpatient setting with IV sedation or general anesthesia. Recovery is usually no more than a few days, with return to normal activity in a week. Dr. Piña offers an artistic approach to cosmetic breast procedures and is skilled in creating a more full, natural, youthful appearing breast.
Breast Augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure with the goal of adding volume to the breast for a more youthful, full appearance. The additional volume comes from placing an implant behind your natural breast tissue or chest muscle, The implants are filled with either saline (salt water) or silicone gel, both of which are FDA approved devices. Dr. Piña at Cosmeti Surgery and Associates offers saline and silicone implants in partnership with Mentor Corporation. Silicone gel implants are FDA approved for cosmetic use in women over the age of 22. Dr. Piña also specializes the latest techniques to Breast Lifts and Reductions with beautiful, youthful, natural-looking results and minimal scarring.
Breast Lift Surgery at Cosmetic Surgery and Associates is unique in several ways. Dr. Piña's technique for lifting the breast typically results in a very youthful, perky breast and adds fullness to the upper area of the breast while minimizing scarring. Often a small lolipop style scar is adequate to achieve natural, full breasts, even when a full lift is needed. A mini lift is also possible with a small scar around the areola (nipple) only, and may be combined in a new technique in which Smartlipo laser technology is added to the procedure. This creates more lift, more skin firming and allows for even smaller scars with improved results.
