For a woman who for personal reasons feels her breast size is too small, too large or not contoured enough, cosmetic breast surgery can be the answer.

With a breast augmentation, the surgeon inserts an implant filled with saline (salt) solution or silicone gel to improve the contour and increase the size of the breast.

For women who desire smaller breasts Dr. Yarinsky can reduce the size of the breast through the removal of fatty tissue, then reshape the smaller breast.

Also often included in breast surgery is the breast lift. Breast lifting removes excess skin from the lower part of the breast to raise sagging breasts thus reshaping and lifting the breast for a more complementary figure.

This procedure is done at our JCAHO accredited office facility.

INTENDED RESULT

• An elevated, more youthful breast contour.
• Smaller areolae located at a more pleasing height.

NOTE

• The specific risks and the suitability of this procedure for you can be determined only at the time of your consultation with Dr Yarinsky. All surgical procedures have some degree of risk. Minor complications that do not affect the outcome occur occasionally. Major complications are unusual. Most people are very happy with the results but no specific result can be guaranteed.
