Breast lift surgery, or “mastopexy,” is one of the most sophisticated procedures to address signs of aging in the breasts, such as skin inelasticity, excess glandular tissue, and an overall loss of support. By removing redundant fat, skin, and tissue causing ptosis (or drooping), mastopexy can provide a firmer and younger-looking breast profile. That said, some patients wonder whether the removal of excess tissue adjunctively results in a smaller breast size. A breast lift does not significantly decrease the proportions of the breasts; rather, the procedure seeks to improve changes in the breasts caused by the natural aging process, such as flat or elongated breast contours. While the main objective of a breast lift is not to obtain a smaller breast size, the procedure is... Continue Reading

According to recent data published in The Aesthetic Surgery Journal, there has been a worldwide increase in patients seeking to remove their breast implants through en bloc capsulectomy or another explantation procedure. The motivations behind patients’ request for breast implant removal lie in systemic symptoms — such as joint pain, autoimmune diseases, confusion, chronic fatigue, and muscle aches — attributed to their breast implants. While not enough data is available to determine individual risk factors for conditions such as Breast Implant Illness (BII) and Silicone Incompatibility Syndrome (SOS), self-described symptoms have been associated with all types of implants, including saline, silicone, gel-filled, smooth, and textured devices. In some patients, removing breast implants has been shown to improve or even eliminate their symptoms. ISAPS states that... Continue Reading

As we age, our bodies change in response to some of life’s biggest moments. Specifically, the appearance of firm and youthful breasts can fluctuate with age and multiple factors usually contribute to these developments. From pregnancy and breastfeeding to weight fluctuations, the breast contours tend to look flatter and less shapely over time. Menopause and the natural aging process are also contributing factors, especially when the body starts producing less estrogen. While the age-related changes to your breasts vary from patient to patient according to genetics and unique lifestyle factors, there are certain concerns widely shared by women as they get older. Many patients want to improve: Breasts that look elongated, have lost volume, or appear deflated A decrease in skin elasticity and firmness Nipples... Continue Reading

Dark circles under the lower eyelids are often associated with a lack of sleep, but many patients don’t know that shadows can develop regardless of how rested or alert you feel. These dark circles are often accompanied by puffy under-eye bags, which is no coincidence. Eye bags typically become more noticeable as natural collagen production declines, causing the fat pads below the eyes to protrude as you get older. While sleep deprivation can certainly exacerbate dark circles, bulging fat pads are known to create shadows under the eyes no matter how much sleep you get the night before.  Fortunately, lower blepharoplasty can be an ideal treatment to not only improve dark circles, but also smooth puffiness below the eyes. During the procedure, Dr. Jon Paul... Continue Reading

It’s no surprise that the breasts tend to lose support, volume, and shape over time. While the cause of unwanted breast changes ranges from lifestyle factors to genetic predisposition, a flatter or more “tubular” appearance in the bust may result from: Changing estrogen levels and other hormone fluctuations: Estrogen naturally decreases as women get older, leading to changes in the breast tissue. The skin is not as hydrated and elastic as it used to be, which may cause a smaller breast size and a noticeable reduction in volume. These effects are often compounded by reduced collagen and elastin production in the body, particularly for individuals who have gone through menopause. Pregnancy and weight loss: The skin naturally expands and shrinks according to your body shape,... Continue Reading
