Breast surgery in Bothell can be purely cosmetic or reconstruction after cancer or injury. Some of the medical reasons to have breast surgery include treatment of breast cancer, prevention of breast cancer, and breast reduction because of neck, back, and shoulder pain. Cosmetic reasons for breast surgery include breast augmentation and breast lift to change the size and appearance of your breasts.
Most patients seeking breast surgery are women, but men can develop gynecomastia, for which surgery is the only treatment. Dr. George Min, board-certified plastic surgeon, understands the differences between performing surgery on a woman versus how to retain masculinity for men. Each person is different, so each patient has a specific breast surgery plan, set up only for them.
If your breasts are drooping significantly, a breast lift may be the solution. Breasts can change volume throughout your life, and you may not like how this leaves you with sagging skin. Once you are finished having children, you may wish to bring back a more youthful breast in appearance and position with the help of breast lift surgery in Bothell.
Breast augmentation is one of the most popular surgeries in Bothell. As you age, you may notice how your breasts seem to be deflating. This is normal, but not necessarily the look that you want. Some women are born with breasts that are small for their body size. Another patient may be dealing with the changes that significant weight loss brings.
No matter what your reason is for wanting to increase your breast size, we offer a range of possibilities that will help you increase or restore your breasts to a size of your choosing.
Sometimes, the solution to a woman’s problem is a breast reduction. Bringing the amount of breast tissue you have into a more normal amount to match your frame can make a significant difference. Some patients need to reduce the weight of large breasts in order to decrease upper back, shoulder, and neck pain.
For men, the problem of gynecomastia can be significant. Even though you do not need to remove your excess breast tissue, the psychological impact can create the need. Gynecomastia can happen naturally to boys and young men if they have a minor mismatch in the timing of breast and hormone changes. This excess tissue can be removed, no matter what the cause is.
The surgical treatment of breast cancer can be disfiguring. Breast reconstruction can help restore a woman’s image of herself as it restores a major sign of femininity. There is no exact plan that must be followed when looking at breast reconstruction after a mastectomy. Sometimes, doing the reconstruction immediately, at the time of the mastectomy, is right. Other times, breast reconstruction needs to wait. Dr. Min will work with your cancer surgeon as he helps you restore what has been lost, including some of your self-confidence.
Even if you are unsure of when you should have breast reconstruction, come in for a consult with Dr. Min. He will discuss what your options are and answer all of your questions. Only then can you make an informed decision as to when and how you will proceed with breast reconstruction surgery in Bothell.
Unfortunately, breast implants were not made to last forever. The companies that produce these implants suggest replacing them every ten years, but Dr. Min knows that they can last longer as long as they are being watched for any signs of a problem, such as a leak. You might decide to change out your implants if you are interested in down-sizing or up-sizing your implants. Another main reason for breast revision surgery is when the capsule that naturally forms around your breast implant becomes too thick. This can lead to significant pain for some women. Removal of the implant along with the capsule will solve the problem.
The reasons for having breast surgery in Bothell are highly personal. One of the most important things is to work with a board-certified, highly knowledgeable plastic surgeon, such as Dr. George Min. He can help you achieve your aesthetic goals so that your self-confidence will be boosted as well. Reach out to Newvue to discuss your goals and learn more about your options.
