Breasts

Board-certified plastic surgeon and cosmetic body contouring specialist Dr. John F. Farella offers a variety of procedures to improve the appearance of the breasts. For Westchester-area patients interested in one of these advanced surgical protocols, Dr. Farella will be glad to meet with them at either his White Plains or Mount Kisco offices.

Consultation

During your initial consultation, you can explain your symptoms and unique treatment goals to Dr. Farella in a private, patient-oriented setting. He will also review your medical history and examine your breasts. Using his years of professional medical experience and an artistic eye, Dr. Farella will then recommend a personalized treatment plan for eligible candidates consisting of one or more of our boob job procedures.

Breast Procedures We Offer

Breast surgery provides several tailored options designed to improve, lift, or reconstruct the breasts based on each patient’s aesthetic goals or medical requirements. Our comprehensive offerings include breast augmentation for size enhancement, breast lifts to elevate and reshape, breast reductions for comfort and proportionality, and reconstructions for restoration post-mastectomy. Each procedure is personalized, so every patient receives care that aligns with their desired outcomes and improves their overall quality of life.

Breast Augmentation

A breast augmentation, or augmentation mammaplasty, is the process of increasing the size of a patient’s breasts. This breast enhancement will typically be performed on women who are unsatisfied with their small breast size after puberty and would prefer an appearance that is more proportional to the rest of their body. Dr. Farella inserts either saline or silicone implants through secluded incisions.

Breast Reduction

Other women may notice breasts that are too large based on their figures. Additionally, large breasts are known to sometimes cause back and neck pain due to the extra weight. During a breast reduction (reduction mammaplasty), Dr. Farella removes excess breast tissue while maintaining a pleasing look.

Male Breast Reduction

Being unhappy with a larger breast size isn’t a problem exclusive to women. Men can also have an amount of breast tissue that they feel self-conscious about, a condition known as gynecomastia. During gynecomastia surgery, Dr. Farella removes breast tissue and/or fat tissue to give the chest a more masculine, contoured appearance.

Breast Lift

If you’ve begun to notice your breasts sagging, possibly with the nipples pointed downward, you may be a candidate for a breast lift (mastopexy). This procedure involves changing the shape of the breasts for a “perky,” more youthful look. The focus is usually not on altering breast size, although a breast lift is frequently combined with breast reduction.

Breast Lift With Implants

Alternatively, a breast lift on its own could result in a great new shape but a size that is still too small. For this reason, Dr. Farella often advises combining the breast lift with an augmentation.

Process

Breast surgery begins with a consultation, where Dr. Farella discusses your goals and evaluates your suitability for surgery. Pre-operative preparations include medical evaluations and setting realistic expectations. On the day of surgery, Dr. Farella and our staff will keep you comfortable and safe. Follow-up visits are crucial to monitor your recovery and ensure the best possible outcome.

Benefits and Risks

Breast surgery offers significant benefits, including improved body symmetry and appearance and relief from physical discomfort. Choosing a board-certified surgeon like Dr. Farella can reduce the risks. His expertise lessens the likelihood of complications such as adverse reactions to anesthesia and infection. During consultations, Dr. Farella keeps patients fully informed about their chosen procedure’s benefits and potential risks.

Ideal Candidate

Good candidates for breast surgery are typically in good overall health, don’t smoke, and have no underlying medical conditions that could hinder healing. This surgery can address a variety of concerns, including increasing breast size or improving shape, reducing discomfort from large breasts, and achieving breast symmetry. It’s crucial for anyone considering breast surgery to be psychologically prepared and have realistic expectations about the results.

How Much Do Breast Procedures Cost?

The price of your treatment plan will depend on its exact details. Factors usually affecting the total cost are:

  • The breast procedure(s) performed
  • The specific techniques utilized, such as the number of incisions and types of implants
  • If your breast treatment is combined with other surgical or non-surgical procedures
