BEFORE & AFTERS
WHY MASTOPEXY AUGMENTATION?
In youthful breasts, nipples sit at a higher position on the breasts; a simple breast augmentation procedure can accomplish the goal of creating larger and well projected breasts. With age, however, the nipples drop and if a simple breast augmentation was done, it will result in larger droopy breasts with nipples pointing to the floor. Mastopexy augmentation is indicated for ladies after childbirth who present with deflated and droopy breasts. This procedure is designed for people who not only desire larger but also lifted breasts at the same time.
HOW IS IT DONE?
Mastopexy augmentation is one of the most challenging breast procedures. There are many factors to calculate into the surgery including how high the nipple should be raised along with considerations of how big the breast can be augmented. Putting an implant or using one's own fat increases the volume of the breast but at the same time the breast skin envelope needs to be reduced to elevate the nipple; these are two opposing forces in surgery.
The augmentation part can be done with either autologous fat or saline/silicone implants. The breast lift portion of the procedure, however, is more variable with individual surgeon's experience and preference. Often excess skin needs to be removed while hiding scars in inconspicuous locations. One of the additional benefits of this procedure is that the enlarged areola can be often corrected at the same time.

PATIENTS' REVIEWS
D, 44, Mom of Two, Greek, New York, USA
"I've recently had a breast augmentation, minor lift, and areola reduction performed by Dr. Lao. I am a mother of two and suffered from significant deflation and some asymmetry mostly from breastfeeding. I have had a consultation once before and I must say Dr. Lao made me feel extremely comfortable in ways the other surgeon did not. He went the extra mile in helping me come to a decision about my size and giving his opinions when necessary. His main concern was keeping my look natural. And he executed that so well. I am thrilled with the end results. My breasts look so natural and my family and friends think they're perfect. Dr. Lao is charismatic, professional, always available, and great at his craft. I'd recommend him to anyone."
K, 33, Mom, African American, New York, USA
"The greatest part of my experience with Dr. Lao was his bed side manner. In my opinion bed side manner begins with the consultation, and from the start, Dr. Lao showed compassion and understanding for his patients' needs and desires. He was also delicate and assertive in offering his medical advice about the best way to obtain such goals. The surgery was a smooth transaction and my results were as discussed. During post-operative care he was just as attentive as he was during and prior to the surgery. True professional."
