Breast augmentation typically involves the use of implants (saline or silicone) to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. Fat transfer breast augmentation, on the other hand, uses the patient’s own fat, taken from another part of the body via liposuction, to add volume. This method offers a more natural look and feel, but may not provide as significant a change in size as implants.

Breast augmentation is generally for increasing the size and volume of the breasts, while a breast lift addresses sagging and loss of firmness by removing excess skin and reshaping the breast tissue. If you desire fuller breasts and want them lifted, a combination of both procedures may be recommended. Consulting with Dr. Markov can help determine which option is best suited to your goals.

A breast reduction can alleviate physical discomfort such as back, neck, and shoulder pain caused by overly large breasts. It also helps improve posture and makes physical activities more comfortable. Additionally, breast reduction can enhance the proportion of the breasts to the body, resulting in a more balanced silhouette and improved self-confidence.

Breast implants are not designed to last a lifetime and may need to be removed or replaced due to age-related changes, rupture, capsular contracture, or shifting position. If you experience discomfort, visible changes, or have had your implants for over 10-15 years, it may be time to consult with Dr. Markov for a personalized assessment.

Breast reconstruction can be performed using implants or autologous tissue from another area of the body, such as the abdomen or back. The procedure restores the shape and volume of the breasts to create a more natural appearance. Dr. Markov works closely with each patient to develop a customized treatment plan to achieve desired results and support emotional well-being during the recovery process.
