Breast Procedures

There are many reasons women choose to have breast surgery. The wear and tear of everyday life, starting a family, weight loss or gain, and medical necessity are some of the top ones. There’s also the simple desire to bring out or enhance a greater sense of femininity, and almost nothing does that like breasts that sit in perfect harmony with the rest of your figure.

Breast surgeries can be complex, and it’s smart to do your research on surgeons before you choose who will build your ideal treatment plan. You don’t want to select an inexperienced surgeon and be the guinea pig for them to learn on, and a surgeon who has little understanding of breasts’ intimate scaffolding and structures won’t be able to provide natural-looking results. Dr. Shlomo Widder is a renowned Washington, D.C., metro area breast plastic surgery expert with more than three decades of breast surgery experience and thousands of procedures under his belt.

In this section of Widder Plastic Surgery’s website, we’ve assembled our best trustworthy information on the individual procedures that make up the three components of cosmetic breast surgery: breasts augmentations, breasts reductions, breasts lift, and breasts revision. Browse to learn what to expect, the cost of each surgery, and about the different approaches to each breast surgery procedure.

Cosmetic Breast Surgery Procedures

Some women have a simple, stand-alone breast procedure, while others choose to add complementary procedures such as a mommy makeover or a tummy tuck. Review each breast procedure page to learn how we strategically schedule more complex treatment plans to both ensure your safety and get you the best breast surgery results.

Breast Augmentation

There are nearly 300,000 breast augmentations performed in the United States each year to change the size, shape, and contour of women’s breasts. During a breast augmentation, a surgeon will use saline or silicone implants to enhance the breasts, fat grafting has very limited effect and usually is reserved for breast cancer reconstruction. Dr. Widder prefers the submuscular dual-plane breast augmentation technique and uses the subareolar entry incision for implant replacement.

Breast Augmentation Lift

A breast augmentation and a breast lift are two separate procedures, but sometimes women will combine them into a single surgery. Doing so may save patients money in surgical fees, operating costs, and prescriptions while also taking less time away from work and other life priorities to recover. A breast augmentation with a lift will give you the benefits of enhancing the, shape, or contour of your breasts while also restoring a youthful perkiness if your breasts are saggy.

Breast Lift

Having kids, losing weight, and genetics are all factors that may influence a woman’s decision to have a breast lift. A breast lift, called a mastopexy by plastic surgeons, is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to raise the breasts’ profile and remove excess saggy skin. It won’t change the breast size or volume, but it will dramatically improve the appearance of skin laxity and breast firmness.

Breast Reduction

A reduction mammaplasty, or a breast reduction, can have several benefits for patients, from reducing neck, shoulder, and back pain to helping breasts appear more in proportion with the rest of your overall figure. You might choose this surgery for medical or aesthetic reasons. For example, a breast reduction can treat breasts that are too large for your frame, which can cause negative physical and psychological effects.

Breast Implant Revision

Breast implants are not permanent medical devices and may need replacement after about 20 to 30 years. Additionally, on rare occasions, breast implants may cause some discomfort from a condition known as capsular contracture. When situations like this arise, you’ll need to talk to a plastic surgeon about your options for breast revision surgery and implant removal or replacement.
