Breast Procedures
Breast Procedures Offered
Breast Augmentation or Restoring Breast Volume
Breast augmentation is designed to uplift and enhance your breasts. Dr. O will work with you to define the right approach and set realistic expectations. The procedure involves placing silicone or saline implants beneath the breast tissue or chest muscle to create a fuller appearance. Recovery typically takes a few weeks, with most patients resuming normal activities within a month.
Breast Reduction
A breast reduction reduces the size of your breasts and is sometimes prescribed to help reduce symptoms such as back and shoulder pain. Dr. O will ensure that a breast reduction is the ideal choice for your goals. The procedure involves removing excess tissue and reshaping the breasts for a more balanced look. Recovery time varies, but most patients return to daily activities in a few weeks.
Breast Lift
A mastopexy, or breast lift, was created to lift your breasts to a perkier state. Dr. O will help you determine whether a lift will achieve your desired results. This procedure requires removing excess skin and repositioning the breast tissue for a firmer, youthful shape. It does not significantly change size but enhances contour and symmetry. Recovery involves temporary swelling and mild discomfort, with full healing in several months.
Why Women Want Breast Procedures
Breast procedures address various concerns, from size and shape to discomfort and sagging.
- Small or lacking volume – Breast augmentation enhances size and shape for a fuller appearance.
- Discomfort from large breasts – Breast reduction alleviates back, neck, and shoulder pain.
- Sagging or loss of firmness – A breast lift restores a more youthful, lifted position.
- Breast asymmetry – Surgery can create a more balanced and proportionate look.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Procedures
Good candidates for breast enhancement surgery are women who are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcome of surgery. They are also at a stable weight and are non-smokers.
What to Expect During the Procedures
During your consultation, Dr. Sonny O will discuss your goals and examine your anatomy to create a personalized surgical plan. Depending on the procedure, you can expect anesthesia, surgical incisions, and the time frame of the surgery to vary. For instance, a breast augmentation may last one to two hours, while a breast reduction could take longer due to the complexity involved.
Recovery and Aftercare
Breast procedure recovery involves careful aftercare to promote healing and achieve the best results. Here’s what to expect and how to care for yourself.
- Rest and activity – Avoid strenuous activities for four to six weeks. Light movement is encouraged, but heavy lifting should be avoided.
- Support and positioning – Wear a supportive surgical bra and sleep on your back with a slightly elevated upper body.
- Incision care – Keep incisions clean and dry to prevent infection. Follow all wound care instructions.
- Follow-ups – Attend all post-surgical appointments to monitor healing. Contact our office if you experience unusual swelling, pain, or signs of infection.
- Lifestyle adjustments – Avoid smoking and alcohol during recovery, as they can slow healing. Follow all medication and care guidelines provided.
Most patients return to daily activities within a few weeks, with full healing taking a few months. Following these guidelines will help ensure a smooth recovery and the best possible outcome.
