Breast Procedures

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation uses saline or silicone implants to achieve larger, more symmetrical, round breasts. During breast augmentation surgery, implants are inserted to provide the shape, projection, and volume you want. Breast augmentations are often combined with a breast lift to help achieve a perky, upward tilt of the nipples while removing excess sagging skin.

Breast Lift

Dr. Beale can correct loose skin and drooping breasts after weight loss or breastfeeding with a breast lift. This procedure reshapes the entire breast by removing excess skin and breast tissue in the lower half, giving you firmer and perkier breasts without increasing their size.

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation

If you want full, shapely breasts but don’t want implants, fat transfer breast augmentation can increase your breast size while looking and feeling completely natural. Fat transfer breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that harvests excess fat from a donor site and injects it into your breasts for an increase of up to one cup size. It also slims and sculpts the donor site for a more comprehensive makeover.

Breast Augmentation with Lift

Breast augmentation with lift is a combination procedure that addresses the breasts’ size and shapes while combatting breast sagging and the descent of the nipples toward the breast creases. Excess skin is removed, the nipples are repositioned, and the breasts are beautifully enhanced with implants of your choice.

Breast Reconstruction

Breast reconstruction can be performed with a mastectomy or after, depending on the need for radiation therapy after mastectomy. When radiation is necessary, breast reconstruction is generally postponed until after radiation treatments are completed, so the patient has time to heal.

Each patient is different, and the timing of surgery is determined by collaboration between the patient, the breast oncology surgeon, and Dr. Beale, the reconstructive surgeon. When you choose Dr. Beale as your breast reconstruction surgeon, he considers it an honor and a privilege; his goal is to care for you with the utmost regard for your safety and comfort.

Breast Reduction

Breast reduction is a surgical procedure to reduce breast volume, which alleviates pain and self-consciousness caused by heavy breasts. Excess skin, fat, and glandular tissue are removed before the breasts are reshaped and lifted to a youthful position on the chest. The areolas and nipples are repositioned to an ideal location and may also be reduced to be in better proportion with the new breast size.

Breast Revision

Breast revision can correct the complications of previous breast augmentation, such as capsular contracture or implant rupture, or exchange implants when you want to go bigger or smaller.

Breast Implant Removal

Breast implant removal, also known as breast explant surgery, is a procedure that removes breast implants that are no longer wanted. Dr. Beale can insert new implants or augment the breasts with a fat transfer breast augmentation for a natural size increase without implants. Alternatively, a breast implant removal can be performed alone or paired with a breast lift to raise and shape the breasts for a youthful, perky appearance.

Tuberous Breast Correction

A tuberous breast is an unusual size, shape, appearance, and proportion of one or both breasts. Tuberous breast correction may involve a single surgery or a staged approach. In many cases, the breast glandular tissue is constricted, and Dr. Beale must release the tissue surgically. Issues such as the location of the breast fold, areolas that appear overly large, or oddly shaped breasts can all be surgically resolved with tuberous breast correction.

Capsular Contracture Treatment

Capsular contracture occurs when the scar tissue that develops around an implant tightens and constricts the implant, leaving the breast feeling harder, painful, or looking misshapen. Once the condition develops, it is necessary to undergo a capsulectomy. When you meet with Dr. Beale, he can evaluate your situation and determine the best procedure to restore your breast, so it feels and looks plump, soft, and natural.

Nipple Reduction

Nipple reduction can enhance the results of other breast surgeries by resizing disproportionately large nipples and areolas for aesthetically balanced and symmetrical results. The surgery carefully preserves nipple sensation and sensitivity, so safety and function are not sacrificed in pursuing enhanced aesthetics.
