Breast surgery can address changes in breast size, shape, and position that occur with aging, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or natural development. These cosmetic procedures may improve physical comfort, restore proportion, or refine breast contours through carefully planned surgical techniques. Each procedure is designed to address specific structural concerns while maintaining balanced results.
At McKinnon Plastic Surgery, breast procedures are performed within a surgical practice led by Dr. McKay McKinnon, a plastic surgeon with decades of experience in reconstructive and complex surgical care. Dr. McKinnon trained on the Harvard Surgical Service before completing his plastic surgery residency at the University of Miami, bringing extensive surgical training and careful anatomical planning to each procedure.
Breast Surgery Procedures At McKinnon Plastic Surgery
Breast surgery can address concerns related to breast size, shape, and position. These procedures are designed to improve breast contour while maintaining balanced, natural proportions.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to increase breast volume and improve breast shape using implants. The procedure may be considered by patients who wish to enhance naturally smaller breasts or restore volume lost after pregnancy or weight changes.
Breast Reduction
Breast reduction removes excess breast tissue and skin to decrease breast size and relieve physical discomfort. The procedure may help address concerns such as back pain, shoulder strain, or skin irritation caused by overly large breasts.
Mastopexy
Mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift, reshapes and elevates the breasts when sagging occurs due to aging, pregnancy, or weight changes. The procedure focuses on restoring a more youthful breast position while maintaining natural breast contours.
Breast Reconstruction
In addition to cosmetic breast procedures, McKinnon Plastic Surgery also provides breast reconstruction for patients who require restoration of breast shape following mastectomy or other medical treatment. These procedures focus on rebuilding the breast mound and restoring natural contour as part of a carefully planned reconstructive approach.
