Breast Surgery Options
Breast surgery includes a range of procedures designed to enhance, reshape, reduce, or reconstruct the breasts. Each procedure is tailored to your individual goals, anatomy, and health needs.
Some women seek cosmetic improvements, while others need reconstructive procedures following breast cancer treatment or injury. Dr. Cordray works closely with every patient to develop a treatment plan that aligns with their desired outcomes and overall wellness.
Common breast surgery procedures include:
Breast augmentation enhances the size and shape of the breasts using implants or fat transfer techniques. Many women choose this procedure to achieve fuller breasts, improve symmetry, or restore lost volume after pregnancy or weight loss.
Breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is designed to raise and reshape sagging breasts. This procedure removes excess skin and tightens the surrounding tissue to create a firmer and more youthful breast contour.
Breast reduction surgery removes excess breast tissue and skin to create smaller, lighter breasts that are better proportioned to your body. Many women choose this procedure to relieve chronic neck, back, and shoulder pain caused by overly large breasts. In addition to reducing size, the procedure also reshapes the breasts for a more youthful appearance.
Breast reconstruction restores breast shape after mastectomy or other breast cancer treatments. Reconstruction may involve implants or advanced techniques that use your own tissue. Dr. Cordray has extensive experience with complex microsurgical procedures such as the DIEP flap, which uses abdominal tissue to create a natural-looking breast while preserving muscle.
Fat grafting to the breast is a natural alternative to implants that uses your own fat to enhance breast shape and volume. Fat is removed through liposuction from another area of the body, purified, and carefully injected into the breasts. This technique provides subtle volume enhancement while also contouring areas such as the abdomen or thighs.
Breast implant removal is common due to lifestyle changes, implant aging, or personal preference. During explant surgery, Dr. Cordray removes the implants and may reshape the breast using techniques such as fat grafting or a breast lift to create natural contours.
