Breast Augmentation

What is breast augmentation?

For women, breast augmentation, commonly known as a 'breast aug' or 'boob job' among patients, involves Dr. J strategically using fat transfer to enhance the size of the breasts. This procedure can effectively address the restoration of breast volume lost due to weight reduction or pregnancy, create a more rounded breast shape, and improve natural asymmetry in breast size. The result often leads to an enhancement of the patient's aesthetic appearance, boosting confidence levels.

For men, male chest reduction, also known as male breast reduction or gynecomastia surgery, is a cosmetic procedure specifically designed to address gynecomastia or 'man boobs.'

Gynecomastia is a condition characterized by the excessive development of breast tissue in men, leading to the formation of large, feminine-looking breasts that can cause discomfort and emotional distress. The excess breast tissue typically consists of two types:

  • Glandular tissue: This is a white, rubbery substance.

  • Fatty tissue: Similar to the fat found in other areas of the body, but often more resistant to diet and exercise.

Dr. J tailors the gynecomastia surgery to meet the unique needs of each patient, with the procedure typically focusing on reducing both the excess glandular and fatty tissue.

Are you unhappy with your breasts?

Here are some other things to consider when it comes to potential issues you notice with your breasts. Dr. J has years of experience helping many clients restore the confidence they have always desired.

  • Breast ptosis, commonly known as sagging breasts, refers to the natural downward descent of breast tissue over time due to various factors. The condition occurs when the skin and ligaments supporting the breasts lose elasticity and firmness. This loss of structural support is often influenced by aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and genetics. The severity of breast ptosis can vary, ranging from mild sagging to more pronounced changes in breast shape and position. Dr. J can be the professional guidance you need and help you explore appropriate options for addressing breast ptosis and achieving your desired aesthetic outcomes.

  • Mismatched breasts, known as breast asymmetry, is a common occurrence among women and is considered entirely normal. This natural phenomenon can result from variations in breast tissue, glandular development, and overall body composition. Hormonal fluctuations during puberty and throughout the menstrual cycle may contribute to differences in breast size or shape. Additionally, genetic factors play a significant role in determining breast characteristics, leading to variations that are unique to each individual.

  • Nipple reconstruction is a procedure often sought by individuals who have undergone mastectomy or breast reconstruction surgery following breast cancer treatment. The removal of the nipple during these procedures can leave individuals with a flattened or scarred appearance, impacting their self-esteem and body image. Nipple reconstruction aims to restore a natural and aesthetically pleasing look to the breast, contributing to a sense of wholeness and femininity. Additionally, some individuals choose nipple reconstruction as part of the overall healing process, allowing them to regain a sense of control over their bodies after the challenges of breast cancer treatment.

  • Men and women may seek breast reduction surgery for various reasons related to physical discomfort, self-esteem, and overall quality of life. In women, oversized breasts can lead to chronic pain, neck and back issues, as well as difficulty finding well-fitting clothing. Additionally, physical activities may be hindered, impacting daily life and exercise. For men, a condition known as gynecomastia, characterized by the development of excessive breast tissue, can result in self-consciousness and emotional distress. Breast reduction surgery offers a solution by removing excess tissue, providing relief from physical discomfort, and helping individuals achieve a more proportionate and comfortable body shape.

Patient Testimonials

How Does Dr. J’s Body Contouring Work?

Dr. J's HD Body Contouring combines a wealth of techniques, including power-assisted liposuction, water-assisted liposuction, energy-based liposuction, fat grafting, correction of irregularities from previous procedures, and post-liposuction skin tightening. This comprehensive approach allows for full-body contouring by effectively reducing excess stubborn fat in various areas such as the sides/flanks, shoulders, arms, chest, thighs, buttocks, biceps, and abdomen, thereby enhancing the patient's overall proportions.

The duration of the entire process typically ranges from one to two hours or more, depending on the specific techniques employed. Small incisions are strategically made to facilitate the insertion of the cannula, minimizing any potential scarring.

  • If you desire to utilize your excess fat in a beneficial way, Dr. J offers a procedure to harvest and purify it for cosmetic purposes. This technique employs the use of your body's own fat as a safe, natural, and highly durable filler. It can effectively enhance muscle definition, smooth facial wrinkles, restore volume to sunken areas of the face, or augment the buttocks. Since it is autologous, the risk of allergic reactions or rejection is exceptionally low.

  • In specific instances, patients will seek out Dr. J for revision surgeries to correct the outcomes of previous liposuction procedures performed by other doctors. Dr. J is highly skilled in the field of revision surgeries and employs a comprehensive approach that incorporates lipocontouring, fat grafting, and techniques to address excess skin and scar tissue. This unique combination enables him to achieve significant and impactful improvements, leading to dramatic and effective results.

  • Once all stubborn flab rolls and bumps have been successfully eliminated from the back, Dr. J proceeds with sub-dermal skin tightening using advanced helium plasma radiofrequency energy. This state-of-the-art technique effectively addresses the concern of residual sagging skin, a common issue that can occur following traditional liposuction procedures performed by other doctors.

  • How long will my results last?

    Following most liposuction cases, patients can anticipate enduring results. The permanent reduction in volume occurs as excess fat is removed from the back, preventing the regrowth of fat cells. It is important to maintain regular exercise and adhere to a healthy diet post-procedure, as significant weight fluctuations can potentially impact the longevity of the results.
