Breast Augmentation (Breast Implants)
Women who choose to enlarge their natural breasts with implants may
do so to improve their confidence, to make the size of their breasts
more proportionate to their body, or to restore breast volume that
has been lost due to significant weight loss, aging, or after child
birth. Dr. Mentis offers both saline and silicone breast implants,
each of which are approved by the FDA. She will help you choose what
type and size of implant is right for you.
Mastopexy (Breast Lift)
Most women notice a difference in the size and shape of
their breasts as they age, which can be attributed to pregnancy,
breastfeeding, or gravity. When skin loses its elasticity, the
breasts can lose shape and firmness and take on a droopy appearance.
A breast lift can help restore a more youthful appearance by raising
and reshaping the breasts. A breast lift can also reduce areolar
size and reposition the nipples
Reduction Mammaplasty (Breast Reduction)
Women seeking a breast reduction typically do so
because their naturally large breasts cause back pain, neck pain,
improper posture, rashes, interference with physical activity, and
low self-esteem. Breast reduction is a surgical procedure that
removes fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the breasts, making
them smaller, lighter, and firmer. It can also reduce the size of
the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple.
Gynecomastia (Male Breast Reduction)
Breast reduction for men involves removing excess breast tissue and
fatty tissue underneath and surrounding the nipple area. This can be
done with liposuction alone or in combination with traditional
incisional surgery.
