Awarded artist and cosmetic plastic surgeon Dr. Elizabeth Harris talks about different breast surgery procedures in the video below. Breast Augmentation Surgery A woman’s breasts often define her femininity, and with the vast differences in shape, size, and appearance, breasts further help to define a woman’s individualism. The breasts undergo changes in response to factors such as genetics, aging, pregnancy and breast feeding, weight gain or loss, and hormonal fluctuations. All of these factors can cause the breast size and shape to change. These changes can be dissatisfying and can make women feel as if they are losing some of their femininity and youthful vitality. Breast augmentation alone cannot restore the shape of the breasts. For those women who would like to increase the size of their breasts as well as restore a firm, more upright position, a breast augmentation in combination with a breast lift can improve body contours and revitalize their appearance. More >> Breast Lift Surgery (Mastopexy) Pregnancy, nursing, excessive weight loss or gain, or the natural aging process can cause breasts to lose their natural elasticity. Breasts may begin to sag or hang penduously. Breast lift can take years off your body by correcting a drooping bustline, restoring your curves to their youthful state. More >> Breast Reduction Surgery Women who experience back, neck and shoulder pain, bra strap indentations on the shoulders and general discomfort are an unfortunate reality for women with exceptionally large, heavy breasts. Breast reduction is a procedure during which the breasts are made smaller and more proportionate to the body. More >> Breast Reconstruction Surgery Breast reconstruction is commonly performed on women who have had a mastectomy (removal of the breast due to cancer or pre cancerous condition) or who have breast deformities. Many women feel very insecure or self-conscious about their breasts' appearances and abnormalities resulting from a mastectomy, and breast reconstruction allows those natural curves to be restored. Using tissue, skin, fat, or breast implants, the surgeon creates a replacement breast that is quite similar to the one that was removed. The new breast can drastically improve the quality of the patient's life.

Gynecomastia is the medical term for male breast enlargement. Male Breast Reduction uses traditional lipsosuction or surgical correction with liposuction as a procedure that is both safe and effective. As many as 65% of boys going through puberty experience breast enlargement due to the hormonal fluctuations in that age group. Gynecomastia is seen in men who have hormonal changes, deficiencies or are taking medications that cause this condition as a side effect. Gynecomasia is also seen as a familial trait and is also commonly noted in overweight patients.

"A woman’s breasts help define her femininity, and with the vast differences in shape, size, and appearance, breasts further help to define her individualism.  Therefore, changes to the breasts can be dissatisfying and make women feel as if they are losing some of their femininity and youthful vitality. Like other areas of the body, the breasts undergo changes in response to factors such as genetics, the aging process, pregnancy and breast feeding, weight gain or loss, and hormonal fluctuations.  Breasts that were once firm and shapely often begin to sag and droop giving them a loose or heavy appearance. A breast lift, or mastopexy, can help restore a firmer, shapelier breast, which will improve body contours and give the breasts a perky, youthful appearance."

At the Center for Cosmetic Surgery, I met Dr. Harris during the initial visit. I never felt rushed, and always felt comfortable. I am very happy with my results and I wish I had done the procedure sooner.  I always brag about how talented Dr. Harris is and always recommend her to everyone. I also have a ton of compliments whenever I discuss my procedure." To read more patient testimonials click here Center For Cosmetic Surgery Dr. Elizabeth S. Harris 540 N.
