Breast Surgery in Orlando

Not all women are satisfied with the shape, size, or location of their breasts. Your breasts can change after significant weight fluctuation, with time, or after breastfeeding.

When you are considering cosmetic surgery to restore your breast shape and size or create a more aesthetically pleasing profile, several factors should be considered. Our skilled plastic surgeons can explain these factors and guide you through them during your initial consultation.

Creating the ideal breast shape and size involves a natural balance of volume, nipple position, and contour. This requires careful planning and a deep understanding of the body’s natural contour and underlying structural components so your result is natural-looking and complements your body type.

We Customize Your Cosmetic Recommendations

Customization and personalization are critical to any cosmetic procedure, and certainly when the shape and size of your breasts are being considered. Our experienced breast surgeons in Orlando understand the psychological impact a mismatched breast size or position can have on a woman.

This is why we spend time and effort to ensure you receive the benefit of our years of experience with the recommendations that best meet your cosmetic concerns. Two main surgeries may be considered: breast augmentation and breast reduction.

During either surgery, it may be necessary to perform an additional procedure to ensure that your breast and nipple position are anatomically and aesthetically correct.

Breast Augmentation

Several types of breast implants can be considered for use during breast augmentation surgery. During your initial consultation, one of our talented surgeons takes measurements of your chest, discusses your cosmetic concerns, and assists you in selecting the implant that will provide the best result.

For many women in Orlando, this breast surgery improves their self-confidence and enhances their overall appearance. Breast augmentation may be considered after pregnancy, a significant weight loss, or to correct asymmetrical breast size.

Breast augmentation surgery does not prevent or improve sagging, so you may consider a breast lift procedure during the same procedure. This helps to lift the breast into the correct position. Breast implants may make breastfeeding challenging, so you may want to consider the surgery after your family is complete.

Breast augmentation can change the size and shape of the breast and often gives you a more youthful silhouette. However, it does not stop the aging process. Weight gain or loss can also damage the resulting tissue, changing the size, shape, or position of the breast tissue.

Breast Reduction

Breast reduction surgery removes excess skin and tissue and often includes procedures to reshape and elevate the breast. The surgeons at Clark Institute for Aesthetics offer a limited incision, which can be just around the nipple or extend vertically in the shape of a lollipop.

Women with large breasts may experience discomfort and pain, which breast reduction surgery can alleviate. This can include:

• Nerve pain
• Chronic neck and back pain
• Trouble fitting bras and clothing
• Chronic rash or skin irritation under the breasts

Reduction surgery can improve your self-image and allow you to take part in physical activities that were once limited. While our Orlando breast surgeons use a limited incision, breast surgery will leave some scar tissue. Women who plan to have children or lose weight should postpone their reduction surgery.

During your consultation, your knowledgeable plastic surgeon will examine and measure your breasts, discuss your medical history, and explain the surgery and the recovery process. The results will be evident immediately, but it can take several months for the swelling to dissipate completely and the scars to fade.

Breast Lift

Breast lift procedures, also called mastopexy, are designed to raise and reshape breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. This breast procedure benefits women in Orlando who have lost breast volume and elasticity due to aging, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or genetics.

A breast lift can also improve symmetry, restore a youthful shape, and reposition the nipples for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. However, it does not significantly alter size unless it is combined with implants or reduction surgery.

When you want additional support and longer-lasting results, a breast lift with mesh, such as Galaflex, may be recommended. Galaflex mesh is a bioresorbable scaffold designed to integrate with your body and provide structural support while stimulating natural tissue regeneration.

Over time, your body replaces the mesh with collagen, helping to maintain the lift and prevent future sagging. Breast lift with mesh is particularly beneficial when you have thin skin, larger breasts, or want greater result durability.

Breast Implant Removal

A breast explantation is the surgical removal of breast implants. There are various reasons that explantation may be considered. For example, you may want a different aesthetic or have personal reasons.

Sometimes, medical reasons require explantation, including an implant rupture or capsular contracture. Capsular contracture occurs when the normal scar tissue growing around the implant continues to grow and squeeze the implant, causing pain and discomfort. Breast implant illness is the term used to describe various systemic symptoms believed to be associated with a breast implant.

While there is no official medical diagnosis, a wide range of symptoms, including joint and muscle pain, chronic fatigue, and memory and concentration problems, have been attributed to a breast implant, and in many cases, implant removal improves or completely resolves the symptoms.

Breast implant removal or explantation surgery in Orlando can be done with or without a breast lift to maintain a natural and lifted appearance.

Breast Implant Exchange

Breast implant exchange involves removing old implants and replacing them with new ones, often to adjust the size, shape, or projection. You might choose an implant exchange because the implant is aging, or you experience complications such as rippling or asymmetry.

Before the exchange, you and your breast surgery surgeon in Orlando will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of saline and silicone implants so you can make an informed treatment decision. Both implant exchange and explantation are customized to meet your goals and ensure that you experience an optimal aesthetic result and comfort.

What To Expect During Your Recovery

Your recovery and healing after breast surgery depend on the type of procedure you had in Orlando, your healing capacity, and how well you follow post-operative care instructions. Most people, in the first 24 to 48 hours, experience swelling, bruising, and tightness, which is typically managed with prescribed pain medication, rest, and potentially a compression garment.

A surgical bra or compression garment helps minimize swelling and supports the tissues as they heal. Within the first two weeks, most people resume light activities, but you must avoid lifting, strenuous activities, and overhead movements for six weeks to prevent complications and damage to the results of the surgery.

By the end of six weeks, most people can return to normal activities, although there is some residual swelling and minor sensitivity. Women who underwent breast implant exchange or lift with mesh support may have a slightly longer recovery period, as internal structures need more time to heal.

Complete healing, including scar maturation and final breast shape, can take up to six months. Following our post-operative instructions, maintaining hydration, and avoiding smoking can support the healing process and promote long-term results.
