Every year hundreds of thousands of women in the United States alone undergo Breast Augmentation to increase the size of their breasts, this is common knowledge, but what of the women who are born with naturally, un-proportionately large breasts? Many people do not realize the physical and emotional strain this can cause. For women with exceptionally large breasts, chronic neck, back and shoulder pain often persists. Simple things like exercise, shopping and even sleeping can become difficult due to pain, trouble breathing and an inability to find clothes which properly fit and flatter without causing them to look much heavier than they are. In addition, emotional strains are often placed on those with larger breasts and can cause them to feel self-conscious in social situations. Breast Reduction surgery has helped countless women every year alleviate these ailments.

Breast Reduction, also known as Reduction Mammaplasty is a procedure to reduce the size of the breasts by removing excess skin, fat and glandular tissue. This surgery has been extremely effective in giving women smaller, lighter, and firmer breasts. Most women, after a Reduction Mammaplasty, find a new confidence in their bodies as well as experiencing a more enjoyable, pain free life.

Full, pouty lips are considered one of the most desired staples of facial beauty. Some women are naturally blessed with a plump pout but for most of us, we need a little bit of help to achieve the fullness we desire. Walk down any cosmetic aisle in any drug store and you’ll find any number of limp plumping glosses and while these may be a suitable short term fix, they cannot provide the kind of lasting, noticeable change that Lip Augmentation offers.

Dr. Bruno and Dr. Brown perform Lip Augmentation in a variety of ways dependent on the patient’s desires and needs. Fat transfer- where fat is extracted from another part of your body, processed, purified and then re-injected into the lips- is one option. The great thing about this option is that since it’s your fat, there isn’t the risk of allergic reaction. Other patients may feel that injectable fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm, are a better way to go, whatever the case, our qualified Plastic Surgeons will walk you through your lip augmentations options, the pros and cons, and help you decide whatís going to be best for you.

When you’re ready to start discussing your lip augmentation options seriously, we invite you to contact our office to schedule a confidential consultation today.
