Our Calgary plastic surgery clinic offers a variety of breast procedures, including breast augmentation, breast lifts, implant removal or exchange, and breast augmentation revision. Our goal is to help you achieve the body of your dreams while enhancing your natural curves. To achieve such results, it is also possible to combine some of the above surgeries for optimal results. Here is our guide to assist you when making your decision:
Breast Augmentation
You Want: Additional Volume and Shape to your Breast
We all have different and individual reasons for wanting to enhance the shape or size of our breasts. Some women are looking to restore fullness and volume after breastfeeding and pregnancy, while others want additional volume to help fit their clothes better. Your decision is personal and unique to you. At our plastic surgery clinic, our college-certified surgeons will work with you during your in-person consultation to create a surgical plan to help you achieve your aesthetic goals. Here you can choose your implant size and placement, which our surgeons will make recommendations for based on your anatomy.
Breast Lift
You Want: A More Youthful and Lifted Appearance
As we age, time and gravity can cause our breasts to naturally droop, which can cause excess sagging and a deflated appearance. This natural sagging can be more prominent after pregnancy and breastfeeding. A Breast Lift (or Mastopexy) is a way to lift the breast, sometimes including repositioning of the nipple, without the use of implants. This lift produces a more youthful and lifted appearance to the breast without increasing the size or volume of your breast.
Implant Removal
You Want: To Remove your Pre-existing Implants
There is a common misconception that breast implants are only viable or good for 10 years, however this is incorrect! Your implants can last over 20 years and still look great. That being said, some women decide as they get older that implants are no longer something that they would like to keep or maintain throughout their lifetime. Implant removal is simply just the removal of the breast implant with no additional procedure.
Implant Exchange
You Want: Smaller or Larger Implants
It’s hard for anyone to predict the future, from changes in trends to changes in lifestyle, what you want can also change over time! An Implant Exchange allows for women who still want to keep their breast implants the ability to change the size of their implants as their lifestyle or aesthetic dreams change over time. Whether its larger or smaller implants, this procedure allows for a simple exchange to be completed to better suit your individual needs.
Breast Augmentation Revision
You Want: To Alter your Preexisting Breast Augmentation
A Breast Augmentation Revision can be a mix and match of various things. Not only can it be a revision of the implant that you already have (switching to a different sized implant, or modifying the placement of the implant), but can also be a revision of the surrounding tissue (especially in cases of removing pockets of scar tissue or capsular contracture). In either case, a Breast Augmentation Revision would be an optimal surgery!
