Breast surgery is one of the most commonly performed areas of plastic surgery and for good reason. From enhancing volume to relieving discomfort or removing implants altogether, breast procedures are highly customizable and designed to meet each patient’s unique goals.
At Flower Mound and Clearfork Plastic Surgery, our board-certified plastic surgeons offer a full range of breast procedures, including breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, implant replacement, and breast explant surgery. Below is a comprehensive guide to help you understand your options.
Breast Augmentation
Increase Breast Size, Improve Shape, and Enhance Symmetry
Breast augmentation surgery uses implants to increase breast volume, improve proportions, and enhance overall breast shape.
Common reasons patients choose breast augmentation:
- Naturally small breasts
- Loss of volume after pregnancy or weight loss
- Desire for fuller, more balanced breasts
- Correction of asymmetry
Breast augmentation key facts:
- Implant size, profile, and type are customized to your body
- Silicone and saline implants are available
- Can be combined with a breast lift for optimal results
Breast augmentation remains one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures in the U.S. due to its predictable results and high patient satisfaction.
Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
Correct Sagging Breasts and Restore a Youthful Contour
A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, reshapes and elevates the breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple — without adding volume.
Ideal candidates for a breast lift include those who:
- Have sagging or drooping breasts
- Notice downward-pointing nipples
- Are satisfied with breast size but not shape
Breast lift benefits:
- Improves breast position and firmness
- Creates a more youthful, lifted appearance
- Can be combined with breast augmentation if volume is also desired
Breast lift surgery is especially common after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss.
Breast Reduction
Reduce Breast Size for Comfort, Balance, and Relief
Breast reduction surgery removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create a breast size that is more proportional to your body.
Patients often seek breast reduction to address:
- Chronic neck, shoulder, or back pain
- Skin irritation or rashes under the breasts
- Difficulty exercising or finding clothing that fits
- Physical discomfort caused by large breasts
Breast reduction benefits:
- Improved posture and mobility
- Enhanced comfort during daily activities
- A more balanced and proportional figure
In many cases, breast reduction surgery also includes a breast lift to improve shape and positioning.
Breast Implant Replacement (Implant Exchange)
Update or Replace Aging Breast Implants
Breast implant replacement involves removing existing implants and replacing them with new ones. Patients may choose implant exchange for cosmetic updates or medical reasons.
Reasons for breast implant replacement include:
- Desire to change implant size or type
- Aging implants
- Implant rupture or capsular contracture
- Changes in body shape over time
Important to know:
- Breast implants are not lifetime devices
- Replacement may be paired with a breast lift
- Implant exchange allows patients to refresh or refine results
Our surgeons help patients determine the ideal timing and approach for implant replacement surgery.
Breast Explant Surgery
Permanent Breast Implant Removal
Breast explant surgery removes breast implants permanently, with or without a lift. This procedure has become increasingly common as patient preferences and lifestyles evolve.
Patients choose breast explant surgery for many reasons, including:
- Desire to return to a more natural appearance
- Physical discomfort or implant-related concerns
- Lifestyle or aesthetic changes
- Personal health considerations
Breast explant options:
- Implant removal alone
- Implant removal with capsulectomy
- Implant removal combined with a breast lift
Explant surgery is highly individualized to ensure the most natural and balanced outcome possible.
Which Breast Procedure Is Right for You?
Choosing the right breast surgery depends on several factors, including:
- Your anatomy and breast tissue
- Your aesthetic goals
- Your lifestyle and activity level
- Whether implants are currently present
A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to determine the most appropriate breast procedure for your needs.
