Breast - Persana

Optimize your silhouette

Breast augmentation is a surgery designed to increase or alter the size of the breasts. It can be performed alone or in combination with a “breast lift,” either at the same time or in stages. The procedure can alter the position, size, shape, volume, and forward projection of your breasts. It is by far the most popular aesthetic procedure, and patients seek it in many circumstances, whether after a pregnancy, due to medical issues or simply because of natural breast anatomy.

Key Benefits

Restore Lost Volume
Replace the volume you might have lost from breastfeeding, weight loss, or the natural aging process.
Enhance Breast Size and Appearance
Add volume and curves to your breasts while choosing the shape that best suits your body.
Correct Natural Asymmetries
Balance out uneven breasts and increase self-confidence.

Your current and ideal cup sizes are crucial, but there is more to consider prior to proceeding with breast augmentation. For instance, do you prefer breasts with a more projecting profile? Is having cleavage important to you? Do you care where the incision is placed? These are all meaningful points of discussion with your surgeon.

Elevate how you look and feel

A breast lift (mastopexy) is a cosmetic surgery that can improve the position, shape, and projection of the breasts. It can be done alone or in combination with breast augmentation or breast reduction surgery. A breast lift can fix the appearance of drooping and deflated breasts or nipples that point downward. The procedure is for those who would like to have perkier, more elevated, firmer-feeling breasts. It will not, however, change the size of your bosom.

Key Benefits

Improve Sagging Breasts
Firm and shape perkier, more youthful breasts.
Lift Up Nipples
Raise the position of the nipples and surrounding area (areolae, the darker area around the nipples).
Resize or Reshape Enlarged Areolas
Enhance new breast appearance by altering the area surrounding the nipple.

You should delay having a breast lift surgery if you plan on becoming pregnant, as pregnancy can cause the breasts to stretch, negating the effects. If you want to change the size as well as the orientation of your breasts, ask your surgeon if an augmentation procedure with implants or fat-grafting may help you reach your desired shape.

Restore the form of your breasts

Breast reconstruction is a transformative surgical procedure that restores the shape, appearance, and symmetry of the breasts, providing physical and emotional healing for individuals who have undergone breast cancer surgery or trauma.

Often following a mastectomy — a surgery to remove one or both breasts, typically to treat or prevent breast cancer — breast reconstruction utilizes various techniques, such as implant-based reconstruction or using your own tissue, to meet your unique needs and preferences. Breast reconstruction surgery can be performed either immediately following a mastectomy or as a delayed procedure, depending on your specific situation and medical considerations. Overall, it stands as a significant advancement in surgical care, empowering you to reclaim your body and quality of life.

Key Benefits of Breast Reconstruction

Reclaim Your Body and Self-Esteem
Help restore the natural appearance of your breasts, after a cancer-treating surgery or trauma.
Promote Emotional Healing
Help counter feelings of loss and unwanted change by taking control of your body and experiencing a sense of normalcy.
Restore Symmetry and Balance
Bring harmony to your body, enhance your well-being, and improve the fit of your clothing.

Your surgeon should know your aesthetic preferences and whether you prefer to have your breasts reconstructed using your own tissues or an implant. It’s also important to discuss whether you are willing to have more than one surgery to reach your ultimate aesthetic goals.

Decrease the size of your breasts

Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a procedure to decrease the size of the breasts. This is done by removing excess breast tissue and skin and redraping the tissues over a proportionate and smaller bust. Your plastic surgeon will also take great care in positioning your nipples to achieve a harmonious, natural, and symmetrical appearance.

Breast reduction surgery is not solely a cosmetic procedure but also addresses various functional issues. Beyond achieving a desired breast size and shape, it can alleviate discomforts and limitations caused by excessively large breasts.

Key Benefits of Breast Reduction

Achieve Better Proportions
Enhance your overall figure and fit more comfortably into clothing.
Improve Body Image
Gain confidence and self-esteem from an improved body contour.
Alleviate Pain and Discomfort
Address chronic pain in your back, neck, and shoulders that comes from having larger breasts; make exercise and sleep more comfortable.

When discussing your preferred breast size and shape with your surgeon, it’s important to note that bra cup sizes can vary widely depending on style and brand of clothing. So while cup sizes should be used as a reference, they should not be considered a definitive indication of your desired outcome.

Restore your breast confidence

Breast revision surgery doesn’t happen for a single reason. You may want to address natural changes that have occurred to your breasts over time. Or you might want to follow up on a previous surgery. A revision may be performed to replace an implant, for example, or to correct unwanted changes or complications from a previous breast augmentation, reduction, or lift. A revision can be done for either aesthetic or functional reasons.

Restore Desired Shape
Update implants to correct leaks, shifts in position, or deflations, enhancing breast shape and symmetry while addressing any changed aesthetic goals.
Address Prior Complications
Improve issues that might have arisen from prior breast lift or reduction surgery, such as asymmetry and visible scarring.
Reduce Pain and Increase Comfort
Address “capsular contracture” by removing the hardened scar tissue and replacing or repositioning the implants to restore comfort and appearance.

Not all breast revisions are due to a complication or surgical error. More commonly, these procedures address changes in breast shape, sagging, asymmetry, or nipple/areola position, often coupled with the desire to update implants or refine results. In the case of breast reconstruction, most patients will require touch-ups or revisions to get the best long-term results.

Recapture a more youthful look and feel.

“Menopause Makeover” is a catch-all term for a procedure or set of procedures that target areas of the body that change during the time of life when women undergo menopause, typically in their 40s or 50s.

Menopause significantly impacts the entire body composition such as an increase in abdominal fat and a decrease in muscle mass, as well as skin changes like thinning and decreased elasticity. The hormonal changes triggered by this natural process cause collagen loss, softening of cartilage, and weakening of bones, leading to issues such as drooping brows, lax eyelids, a less defined jawline, and deep-set wrinkles. Body shape may also change, particularly in areas such as the breasts and abdomen.

A range of procedures may be part of a treatment plan for issues related to facial appearance, including blepharoplasty (eyelid lift), chin implant, rhinoplasty (nose job), facelift, and neck lift. Procedures that address areas beyond the face include a breast lift, tummy tuck, or liposuction.

Key Benefits of Menopause Makeover

Rejuvenate your facial appearance
Combats effects of hormonal changes that can lead to drooping or sagging skin in the face and neck.
Optimize your body contours
Revitalize areas of the body, such as the breasts or abdomen, that have lost shape and definition.
Boost your self-confidence
Increase your self-esteem following a significant stage in life.

During your consultation, ask about non-surgical options for rejuvenating your facial appearance. Though these are more temporary solutions, skin tightening treatments, skin resurfacing treatments and Botox® (as well as other injectables) can provide improvements, especially when the effects of aging are less pronounced.

Fade streaks and reveal smoother skin

Stretch marks, also known as striae distensae, are narrow streaks or lines that appear on the skin’s surface due to rapid stretching. This stretching can rupture the collagen and elastin fibers that support our skin, resulting in an inconsistent skin texture and striated appearance as healing occurs.

Stretch marks, which are more prevalent in women, typically appear on the lower abdomen, back or flanks, buttocks, thighs, or breasts. Though common, their presence can cause significant emotional distress, affecting self-image and self-confidence. While treatments have not been successful in removing them entirely, there are effective novel therapies that can make these streaks less visible.

Key Benefits of Stretch Mark Treatments

Improve the Appearance of Your Skin
Minimize stretch mark streaks on areas like the back, flanks and thighs, helping to optimize your body’s complexion.
Enhance Skin Texture
Bring consistency to your skin by treating areas where it is striated or elevated.
Boost Self-Confidence
Minimize marks that can affect your body image and lessen your comfort in engaging in everyday activities.

Despite advancements in various therapies, treating stretch marks remains challenging. This difficulty stems from the near-permanence of stretch marks, intricate processes involved in skin healing, diversity in skin types, and individual reactions to treatments. While the appearance of stretch marks can improve, you should not expect the skin to completely regain its original texture and color.
