Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is surgery using saline or silicone implants to enlarge a woman's breasts. Both implant types are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Approval means that an implant has been rigorously researched and tested, and reviewed by an independent panel of physicians for safety. Dr. Kluska offers a variety of options in breast augmentation. Read on to learn about implant types, incision locations and special surgery techniques.

Breast Lift

Breast lift sugery reshapes and lifts sagging breasts, correcting many of the negative effects of childbirth, aging or massive weight loss. If your breasts have begun to sag or lost firmness, breast lift surgery is the only way to restore a youthful position and shape. The procedure can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple. If necessary, breast lift surgery can be combined with augmentation.

Breast Reduction

Breast reduction, technically known as reduction mammaplasty, reduces breast size in women with very large, pendulous breasts. If you suffer from pain or another medical problem that is caused by the escessive weight of large breasts, this procedure will be beneficial. While reducing breast size, a breast reduction may also improve the breast shape and position.

Breast Reconstruction

A variety of techniques can be utilized when reconstructing the breasts after mastectomy. Some patients can get satisfactory results from breast implants, while others will benefit from tissue grafts. These new medical techniques and devices have made it possible for surgeons to create a breast that can come close in form and appearance to matching a natural breast.
