The size and shape of a woman’s breasts can often play a critical role in a woman’s self image. Women who are discontent with their breast size can often feel self-conscious or even embarrassed about their appearance. We offer a variety of breast enhancement procedures that will give the breasts a more balanced, symmetrical look while still appearing natural and beautiful. Talk to the doctor during your initial consultation about the available breast enhancement procedures.
Breast Implants - Breast augmentation can help add balance and harmony to one's figure. Implants, both silicon and saline, have been shown, in studies that looked at thousands of women, to be safe. Prior concerns about the silicon in implants have been disproved, and the newest generations of implants have long, reliable lifespans. Some patients prefer saline implants because they contain no silicon in the filling material, just sterilized saltwater, but other women, knowing that silicon implants are considered to be safe, prefer the more natural feel of silicon. It is a personal decision that one can make after an extensive consultation with Dr. Cross. There are a number of other things to know about breast augmentation procedures, including the ability to breast feed and getting mammograms after breast implantation. A thorough consultation can help educate someone who is interested in this procedure.
Breast Lift and Breast Reduction - Breasts can sag or change shape and size as one gets older. This is often hastened by having children. Additionally, large breasts can affect ones quality of life and the ability to be active and to be comfortable in clothing. New techniques allow the reshaping of breasts with minimal scars and downtime. Scars are hidden in areas that can be concealed with even the most revealing lingerie. Whether one needs just a lift, a reduction and lift, or even a lift and an augmentation, Dr. Cross uses some of the tissue of the breast to create a natural internal brassier to help hold the new shape and to prevent the breasts from sagging in the future.
