Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures in the U.S. This treatment can significantly enhance breast volume and overall proportion. Using silicone or saline implants that range in size and shape, breast augmentation is custom-tailored to achieve a natural look that complements each patient’s figure. Dr. Lee pays careful attention to incision placement and implant positioning to maximize aesthetic results while minimizing visible scarring as much as possible. Whether a patient desires a subtle enhancement or a more dramatic change, breast augmentation can create long-lasting improvements in body balance and confidence.
Breast Augmentation with Lift (Mastopexy-Augmentation)
For patients who wish to increase breast size while also correcting signs of sagging or “drooping,” a combined breast augmentation with lift can be the ideal solution. This procedure not only restores volume but also elevates and reshapes the breasts for a more youthful and attractive appearance. Dr. Lee customizes her techniques to address both skin laxity and volume needs, working to ensure that the outcome looks harmonious and natural. By combining these approaches, patients can enjoy fuller breasts that also sit in a more attractive position on the chest.
Natural Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer
For women who prefer an option that avoids implants, fat transfer breast augmentation offers a natural alternative. This procedure uses the patient’s own fat, harvested through liposuction, which is then purified and carefully injected into the breasts. Fat transfer can provide a modest increase in volume while improving contour and symmetry. Many patients elect to combine liposuction to appreciate the dual benefit of body contouring. Dr. Lee’s meticulous technique can lead to long-lasting, soft, and natural results. In many cases, fat transfer can be utilized to complement breast augmentation with implants, ultimately providing a way to subtly enhance shape and symmetry for the best possible aesthetic outcome.
Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
A breast lift is designed to rejuvenate the breasts by addressing sagging (ptosis) caused by pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes, aging, or hereditary factors. By removing excess skin and reshaping the underlying tissue, Dr. Lee can restore a more youthful, uplifted contour. A breast lift can also reposition the nipple-areola complex for better symmetry and balance. For patients who are satisfied with their current breast volume but wish to correct drooping, mastopexy can provide a refreshed appearance without implants.
Breast Reduction
Overly large breasts can cause physical discomfort such as back pain, shoulder grooves, and posture issues, as well as emotional challenges. Breast reduction surgery not only reduces breast size but also reshapes them for improved proportion and comfort. Dr. Lee approaches breast reduction with a focus on both relief and aesthetics, helping patients feel lighter, more confident, and free to enjoy a more active lifestyle.
Breast Reconstruction
Reconstruction after mastectomy or lumpectomy is a deeply personal and meaningful part of Dr. Lee’s practice. She offers a full spectrum of reconstructive techniques, including implant-based reconstruction and autologous tissue-based (using your own tissue) reconstruction, depending on each patient’s needs and preferences. Her goal is not only to restore breast shape but also to help patients reclaim a sense of wholeness and confidence after breast cancer treatment. Dr. Lee takes time to understand each patient’s priorities, working closely with them to develop a plan that feels right for their journey.
Prophylactic Lymphovenous Bypass
For patients undergoing breast cancer treatment who are at higher risk for lymphedema, Dr. Lee offers prophylactic lymphovenous bypass. This microsurgical technique helps reroute lymphatic fluid to reduce the likelihood of swelling in the arm after lymph node removal. By offering this advanced procedure at the time of breast surgery, Dr. Lee is able to help patients lower their risk of long-term complications and improve overall quality of life.
Nipple Areolar Complex (NAC) Resensitization
Loss of sensation in the nipple-areolar complex can occur after breast surgery. Dr. Lee offers specialized techniques to restore sensation, when possible, through delicate microsurgery. This option can be especially meaningful for patients after reconstruction, helping them regain both physical sensitivity and emotional connection to their body.
Breast Revision
Sometimes patients who have undergone previous breast surgery are dissatisfied with their results or experience complications such as implant rupture, capsular contracture, or asymmetry. Breast revision surgery allows our plastic surgeon to address these concerns and refine the outcome. Whether replacing implants, correcting shape, or resolving discomfort, Dr. Lee’s focus is on restoring natural balance and helping patients feel confident in their results.
Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia, or enlarged breast tissue in men, is a common condition that can cause embarrassment and self-consciousness. Dr. Lee offers male breast reduction to restore a flatter chest contour. Using liposuction and/or tissue excision when necessary, each procedure is tailored to the individual’s anatomy, aiming for natural results that enhance both physical comfort and self-confidence.
Gender Affirming Surgery
Gender-affirming breast surgery can be a transformative step in aligning physical appearance with gender identity. Dr. Lee offers both top surgery for transgender men and breast augmentation for transgender women, approaching each with sensitivity, respect, and artistry. Her focus is on achieving results that feel authentic to the patient while supporting their overall well-being.
A Personalized Approach to Breast Surgery
Every patient comes to surgery with unique goals, concerns, and experiences. Dr. Lee believes that excellent outcomes begin with listening. From consultation through recovery, she prioritizes open communication, education, and individualized care. Her ultimate goal is not only to create beautiful and natural results, but also to support our patients in feeling whole, confident, and empowered.
