Cosmetic breast procedures can help improve breast shape, size, and proportion while supporting confidence and comfort. Many women consider breast surgery to address concerns related to underdeveloped breasts, volume loss after pregnancy, sagging, or physical discomfort caused by excess breast weight. Modern breast surgery focuses on achieving balanced, natural-looking results that align with each woman’s anatomy and personal goals.
Cosmetic breast procedures are performed by Dr. Thomas Pane, a double board-certified plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery. With decades of surgical experience and advanced training in cosmetic breast techniques, Dr. Pane carefully evaluates breast anatomy and tailors each procedure to support safety, proportion, and long-term outcomes.
Cosmetic Breast Surgery Options
Cosmetic breast surgery includes several procedures designed to enhance appearance or relieve physical discomfort. Each option addresses different aesthetic and functional concerns and can be customized based on individual needs.
- Breast augmentation: Enhances breast size and fullness using implants to improve overall proportion.
- Breast lift: Elevates and reshapes sagging breasts to restore a firmer, more youthful contour.
- Breast reduction: Reduces excess breast tissue to relieve physical strain and improve balance.
These procedures can be performed individually or, in some cases, combined to achieve comprehensive results.
Is Breast Surgery Right for You?
Determining whether cosmetic breast surgery is appropriate begins with a personalized consultation. During this visit, goals, expectations, and medical history are reviewed to ensure the procedure aligns with your needs.
- Aesthetic concerns: Dissatisfaction with breast size, shape, or symmetry.
- Physical discomfort: Pain or activity limitations related to breast weight.
- Post-pregnancy changes: Volume loss or sagging after childbirth.
- Lifestyle goals: Desire for improved comfort and clothing fit.
A thoughtful evaluation helps establish realistic expectations and a safe treatment plan.
What to Expect From Breast Surgery
Breast surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis using general or local anesthesia, depending on the procedure. Surgical techniques and incision placement are selected based on anatomy and treatment goals to promote proper healing and durable results.
Dr. Pane applies his extensive experience in cosmetic breast surgery to plan procedures that prioritize symmetry, incision concealment, and long-term support.
Recovery Timeline and Activity Guidelines
Recovery after breast surgery varies depending on the procedure performed. Most patients wear a supportive surgical bra for several weeks and experience temporary swelling, bruising, and tenderness. Many return to work within the first week, while strenuous activity is gradually resumed as healing progresses.
Following post-operative instructions closely helps support comfort and optimal results.
Scarring and Appearance Over Time
Incisions are planned carefully to minimize visible scarring. Over time, scars typically soften and fade. Proper scar care and sun protection can further improve long-term appearance.
Long-Term Results and Expectations
Cosmetic breast surgery is designed to provide long-lasting improvement in shape, comfort, and confidence. While natural aging and lifestyle changes may affect breast appearance over time, many patients enjoy lasting benefits. Maintaining a stable weight can help preserve results.
Combining Breast Procedures
In some cases, breast procedures may be combined, such as breast augmentation with a lift. Combining procedures can address multiple concerns during a single surgery when appropriate. This option is discussed during consultation based on safety and individual goals.
