Tuberous breasts are a result of a congenital abnormality of the breasts. The condition is common among breast augmentation patients. Tuberous breasts are not simply small or underdeveloped breasts, but also include characteristics that include: enlarged, puffy areola, unusually wide spacing between the breasts, minimal breast tissue, sagging, higher than normal breast fold and narrow base at the chest wall.…

Often, after breastfeeding, patients may have a significant change in the shape of their breasts as their breasts lose volume and change shape. Breast augmentation can improve the…
Today was truly a great day of cases. As the breast augmentation, revision breast augmentation, and capsular contracture surgery practice grows, I continually look for ways to improve patient outcomes, reduce patient recovery time, reduce incision length, and prevent capsular contracture I have found that the Keller Funnel facilitates delivery of silicone gel implants through smaller incisions and allows me to…

They can be placed through the axilla, through the breast crease, or through the areola. The breast crease is a nice option for an incision as it keeps a visible scar of the breast and transfers…
Breast augmentation procedures are best sized by determining the base diameter of the breast. The base diameter of the breast is the distance between two points on the chest wall, one point where the breast begins medially and the other point where the breast ends laterally on the chest. Once the patient has determined the size implant they would like,…
