Our breast augmentation clinic in Metro Detroit, Michigan performs breast enhancement surgeries in a state of the art accredited surgical suite. Breast augmentation surgery is performed to increase the size and fullness of the breasts. Uneven breast sizes may also be improved by the use of different volumes in each breast implant. A breast reduction or breast lift procedure can reshape and resize the breast without implants. These procedures can boost self-confidence by improving the balance of your figure and restoring breast size and projection that has been caused by weight loss, pregnancy, and/or the aging process. The choice of final breast size depends on a number of factors, which you and our breast augmentation surgeon will decide together, including:

• Amount of breast tissue available
• Patient's body proportions
• Judgment of our cosmetic breast surgeon
• Patient preference

Breast reduction has long been a specialty of our surgeons at the Straith Clinic. A breast reduction surgery is performed to reduce the size and improve the appearance of unusually large breasts. Large breasts cause aches and pains in the back and upper neck and cause deep grooves on the shoulders from brassiere straps that support the excessively heavy breasts. The breast reduction alleviates these symptoms and also improves the overall appearance. Incisions are made around the nipple area (the areola) and from the areola to the fold and in the fold. Symmetry should be significantly improved with this surgery although it can never be completely perfect. This surgery is most often chosen by patients with bigger breasts who want them smaller.

• Anesthesia: Usually local with IV sedation.
• Length of surgery: 3 to 4 hours.
• In/Outpatient: Generally out-patient in our Detroit AAAHC accredited breast augmentation clinic or in a hospital setting.
• Recovery: Back to work 1 to 2 weeks. More strenuous activity: 3 to 6 weeks. Fading of scars: several months to a year.
• Duration of Results: Usually permanent although gravity, pregnancy, aging, and weight changes may affect the results.

A breast lift is an augmentation surgery performed to correct breast sagging, low nipple position, and to increase firmness without changing the size. This breast lift surgery involves a rearrangement of the soft tissues, repositioning the nipple, and tightening the overlying skin. In some cases, this procedure may be combined with a breast enlargement surgery through the use of an implant to enlarge the breast when readjustment of the normal tissues alone will not suffice.

• Anesthesia: Usually local with IV sedation.
• Length of surgery: 2 to 3 hours.
• In/Outpatient: Generally out-patient in our Detroit AAAHC accredited breast augmentation clinic or in a hospital setting.
• Recovery: Back to work 1 to 2 weeks. More strenuous activity: 3 to 6 weeks. Fading of scars: several months to a year.
• Duration of Results: Usually permanent although gravity, pregnancy, aging, and weight changes may cause new sagging.

A male breast reduction is performed to reduce or eliminate excess male breast tissue. During puberty, mild enlargement of male breast tissue often occurs but usually disappears over a period of one to two years. When it persists, its appearance can cause embarrassment or extreme self-consciousness in social situations. During this breast reduction surgery, an incision is made following the lower border of the areola and the excess breast tissue is removed. The incision usually heals with very little noticeable scarring. When the composition of the breasts is mostly fat, liposuction can be performed instead of excision. In some cases, the combination of both procedures is performed.

• Anesthesia: Usually local with IV sedation
• Length of surgery: 1 to 2 hours.
• In/Outpatient: Generally out-patient in our Detroit AAAHC accredited breast augmentation clinic or in a hospital setting.
• Recovery: Back to work 3 to 7 days. More strenuous activity: 2 to 6 weeks.
• Duration of Results: Permanent.

No breast augmentation is risk free, and that includes cosmetic surgery of the breasts. Although cosmetic surgery is an elective procedure, every patient must understand that these procedures are real surgical operations that involve the potential for complications. However, most cosmetic surgery procedures are categorized as low risk when performed in an accredited clinic, by breast enhancement surgeons with the appropriate training and qualifications. The risk of complications from a breast enhancement surgery can be minimized with a combination of the proper knowledge, skill, sound surgical practices and by closely following your doctor’s instructions on follow-up care during the recovery period.
