Breast Enhancement

Beautiful breasts contribute to a positive body image. Knowing that you look good contributes to your self-esteem, but not every women feels this way.

Breast Augmentation / Enlargement

The surgery can effectively increase breast size and thereby enhance overall body proportions.

Breast Lift / Mastopexy

Breast lift surgery, also known as mastopexy, is a procedure that repositions the breasts once they exhibit a significant degree of sagging (breast ptosis).  Sometimes combined with breast augmentation, this surgery can be especially beneficial for women who have experienced pregnancy or weight fluctuations, which often lead to breast ptosis.  Ptosis can affect women to a varying degree, which may necessitate a different surgical approach for each patient.  Ask Dr. Howrigan for more details about breast lift techniques or read more.

Breast Reduction Surgery

Breast reduction is a part aesthetic, part therapeutic procedure. While the procedure is designed to reshape the breasts and reduce their size, it’s also intended to relieve discomfort. Large breasts can cause back pain, neck pain, skin irritation and other problems. This surgery is the procedure of choice for women who want to find relief from such issues and achieve a more proportional body shape. Dr. Howrigan will utilize liposuction and surgical skin tightening techniques to perform your breast reduction. Contact us for more details or read more.
