Breast shape and size can be an important aspect of a person's body image and self-confidence. Because an attractive silhouette can make a woman feel more confident and comfortable, breasts are also a vital part of a woman’s self-image.

Some women have underdeveloped breast tissue or a congenital abnormality that effects the appearance of their breasts, while others wish to restore lost volume after pregnancy or weight loss. Dr. Eliopoulos says today's breast implants are safe, and provide the pretty, natural-looking results that most patients seek. Dr. Eliopoulos also performs breast reconstruction for mastectomy patients.
Pregnancy, weight fluctuation, aging, and heredity can lead to a loss of breast volume and tissue elasticity, leaving a woman feeling dissatisfied with her breasts. In order to regain a youthful, attractive bust, many women turn to breast augmentation surgery or breast reduction surgery.

Women who want a fuller, shapelier figure may choose to enlarge their bust through breast augmentation. During this popular form of breast surgery, implants — typically silicone shells filled with saline solution or silicone gel — are inserted behind the breast tissue.
First, a general anesthetic is administered before the surgeon makes a small incision, either at the base of the breast or along the lower edge of the areola. Once the incision has been made, the surgeon will expertly create a pocket, typically under the pectoral muscle. Dr. Eliopoulos prefers to then temporarily insert implant sizers to most accurately determine what size implant will provide the best symmetry and volume desired for both breasts. After expertly inserting the final implants, she will close the incisions with dissolvable sutures.
A breast enlargement can increase the size of naturally small breasts, or restore size and shape to a bust that has lost volume due to pregnancy or weight loss. Learn more about breast surgery by contacting the Chelmsford, Massachusetts practice of Dr. Eliopoulos.
A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is an excellent way to restore and enhance the natural shape of breasts. Rather than surgically enlarging or reducing the breasts, breast lift surgery tightens the surrounding tissue to create firmer, smoother breast contours.
In order to perform this breast surgery, Dr. Eliopoulos may use a variety of incisions depending on the degree of excess skin. These could include a circular incision around the areola, vertical incisions descending to the breast crease, and possibly a horizontal incision hidden within the inferior breast crease. The underlying breast tissue is then lifted, reshaped, and tightened in order to create firmer, smoother contours, while the nipple and areola are repositioned to a more youthful height.
Because breast tissue may have lost elasticity due to weight fluctuations, pregnancy, age, or other factors, excess skin is removed. The remaining skin is tightened when the incisions are closed with sutures embedded deep in the breast tissue.
Often, patients may not only desire a more lifted appearance, but also an enhanced overall volume of the breast, with more fullness in the upper part of the breast than can be achieved with a breast lift alone. In these instances, Dr. Eliopoulos can effectively achieve these goals by combining breast augmentation with a breast lift at the same time.
While breast augmentation and breast reduction are probably the most well-known breast surgery procedures, breast asymmetry and breast revision are necessary in cases of mismatched or misshapen breasts. Each of these conditions is correctable by a plastic surgeon like Dr. Dina Eliopoulos, who specializes in breast revision and breast asymmetry procedures.

Schedule a Consultation TodayMany women with disproportionately large breasts not only feel self-conscious, but also endure physical discomfort. Large breasts can cause neck and back pain and make it difficult to participate in physical activities. In order to regain comfort and self-confidence, many women reduce and re-contour their chests with breast reduction surgery.
The incisions required for a breast reduction, also known as “reduction mammaplasty,” are similar to those often required for a breast lift—around the areola, descending to the breast crease, and within the inferior breast crease. Because the pigmented areola of large breasts become particularly stretched, your surgeon will focus on reducing and repositioning the nipple area upward to a more rejuvenated position. Similar to a breast lift, breast tissue is reshaped and repositioned. But breast reduction surgery also reduces the excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin, resulting in a smaller, firmer bust.

View Before & After GalleryFor men with excess breast tissue, a condition known as gynecomastia, breast surgery can create a firmer, more masculine silhouette. During gynecomastia surgery, skin, fat, and glandular tissue is removed by direct excision or liposuction via incisions made around the edge of the areola, or in the underarm.
For a breast reduction using liposuction only, Dr. Eliopoulos may decide that the SmartLipo MPX laser system is the best treatment option, since it can be performed using only light anesthetic and requires minimal downtime.
