Augmentation, lift, reduction, and revision options tailored to your goals. Double board-certified care at the Weston Center for Plastic Surgery.
Breast enhancement surgery by double board-certified plastic surgeon Nathan Eberle, M.D., D.D.S., F.A.C.S. offers women the opportunity to improve their chest contour. Whether you wish your breasts were larger or smaller or wish they sat higher on your chest, these surgical options can help. Every year, these are among the most popular types of plastic surgery around the world, and they are especially popular among Fort Lauderdale and Broward County area women at the Weston Center for Plastic Surgery.
Breast enhancement is a term used to describe any procedure that lifts and enhances the chest region or changes the contour of the breasts. These procedures may alter the size, shape, and look of a woman’s breasts. Breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast lifts, breast reconstruction after mastectomy, and gynecomastia surgery for men are all examples of breast enhancement. Some patients opt for several procedures at the same time, such as a lift to reduce sagging and implants to increase size.
Breast enhancement procedures have evolved to the level where they look completely natural. Surgery may augment breasts that are proportionately too small, balance size between sides, lift and reduce sagging, and reduce back pain associated with excessively large breasts. Many women also report improved self-esteem and greater confidence about their bodies.
You may be a candidate if you are dissatisfied with how your breasts currently look. Many Fort Lauderdale and Weston area women choose breast enhancement following pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or aging. Good candidates are at a healthy weight and in good general health. If you are planning pregnancy or significant weight loss soon, consider postponing surgery until your breasts have stabilized.
Several surgical techniques are available, each designed to change the contours of the chest in a particular way.
Breast enhancement surgery is not just for women. For men, gynecomastia procedures, or male breast reduction, remove excess breast tissue for a more toned, masculine silhouette. Learn about gynecomastia.
Breast enhancement surgery is performed under general anesthesia. First, an incision is created in the chest where natural tissues can be sculpted or trimmed. Breast implants can also be added through these incisions.
Once the desired chest contours have been achieved, sutures close the incisions. The exact technique, incision pattern, and whether implants or fat grafting are used depend on your goals and the procedure Dr. Eberle recommends at consultation.
Most patients spend between one and two weeks recovering before returning to work. Expect tenderness, discomfort, swelling, and bruising during this time.
Rest and limited activity. A surgical bra or compression garment supports the breasts as they heal. Discomfort is managed with medication prescribed by Dr. Eberle.
Gradual return to light daily activities. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting are avoided until cleared. Swelling continues to resolve.
Final shape and position continue to refine over months. Following post-operative instructions closely is the best predictor of a smooth recovery and a result that holds up over time.
Actual patients. Individual results may vary.
The cost of your surgery depends on the technique used, the extent of contouring performed, and other considerations. When performed for cosmetic reasons, breast enhancement is not typically covered by health insurance. Financing is available for your procedures.
Reconstructive breast surgery after mastectomy may be covered by insurance. Cosmetic breast enhancement typically is not. Dr. Eberle’s team can help you understand your options at consultation.
