There is great variation in the size of "normal breasts." For women who, for personal reasons, feel their breasts are too small, too large, or not properly contoured, cosmetic breast surgery is possibly the answer. Our practice offers surgical procedures which enhance the shape and appearance of your breasts.
If you are considering a medical procedure to enhance your appearance, these web pages will give you a basic understanding of common procedures. These pages are intended only as an introduction. You can continue exploration with an in-office consultation with Christopher A. Marek, MD. After an examination and evaluation, we can better tailor the surgical procedure for your particular condition or anatomic problem.

Breast Lift
As women age, their breasts may lose volume and sag. This can be exacerbated by pregnancy or nursing. In these situations, many women enjoy beneficial results from a Breast Lift or “mastopexy.” In this procedure, the skin of the breast is tightened to return the breast to a more youthful shape, firmness, and position. Sometimes an implant is placed as part of the procedure to increase breast volume. |

Breast Augmentation
For many women, breast size is an important part of feeling good, desirable and normal. Having a Breast Augmentation procedure can greatly improve self-esteem for many women. It can make a woman feel more feminine, correct asymmetries, and can drastically improve her self image. |

Breast Reconstruction
There has been a marked increase in the number of women having Breast Reconstruction surgery following a mastectomy. This has a positive effect on her recovery and improves the woman’s ability to successfully complete the remaining breast cancer therapy. |

Gynecomastia
Many men develop excess skin or breast tissue on their chests. This is a syndrome called Gynecomastia and can lead to discomfort and embarrassment. The problem can be treated with direct excisional surgery, liposuction, or a combination of the two. Your anatomy will determine the best approach, and your plastic surgeon will explain how best to proceed. |
