Step-by-step animation about breast augmentation surgery!

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) has developed a new series of videos that detail the steps in many different Plastic Surgery procedures.  

One of my favorites is the animation on breast augmentation using silicone implants and a subglandular (under the breast approach).  This is the technique that I most commonly use for breast augmentation in my patients.

The ASPS is a wonderful resource for individuals interested in learning more about Plastic Surgery in an unbiased approach, without emphasizing one particular surgeon or technique.

Only Board-Certified Plastic Surgeons can become members of the ASPS.  Learn more here.

Breast Cancer Picture Book - A Year of Treatment

See the video link in this blog post for for a very special photo album created by one of my patients.

She shares with each of us her personal journey through bilateral (double) nipple-sparing mastectomies, implant reconstruction, with later chemotherapy and radiation.

She shows the transition through the various stages of her treatment, to the final few shots of her being active on vacation and living with lymphedema.

Thank you for sharing these intimate and very special memories with us!

Breast Lift after Massive Weight Loss

This case was presented at the 59th annual scientific meeting of the California Society of Plastic Surgeons in Squaw Creek, Lake Tahoe, California by Dr. Karen Horton as part of a special Mastopexy Panel of expert surgeons.

This patient is a 45 year old woman who lost 150 pounds on her own, without bariatric surgery!

Her goals were to lift her breasts and achieve a natural shape, without implants.

A breast lift (mastopexy) was done using a superomedial pedicle technique. Additional abdominal contouring surgery was also done at the same time.

Below are her early postoperative photos at two months after surgery:
