Breast
Many women decide to undergo breast augmentation to balance out their figures or to enhance the size, shape, or symmetry of their breasts. The procedure helps women to feel better about their bodies, increase their self-confidence, and can help clothes fit better. This popular and commonly performed procedure—also called breast enlargement or a “boob job”—will add volume and symmetry to your breasts, giving you a younger-looking appearance, firmer curves and a shapely silhouette.
Many women have a breast lift performed at the same time as their breast augmentation for more satisfying results.

Breast Lift Surgery
Breast lift surgery, also called a mastopexy, is a procedure where your breasts are tightened and reshaped to give you a younger-looking appearance. As you age, gravity causes sagging and drooping. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, as well as gaining and losing weight also contribute to droopy breasts. Breast lift surgery can erase the years in just one, simple procedure.

What Can I Expect During a Breast Lift Procedure?
- The procedure usually takes about two to three hours.
- You are given either intravenous sedation or general anesthesia.
- Breast lift surgery is a procedure where the breast is tightened and raised by removing excess skin. The surrounding tissue is tightened as well. This reshapes and supports the new breast shape.
- The breast tissue is lifted and reshaped to improve its contour and to increase firmness. Any excess skin is removed. Also, the nipples are repositioned, giving them a younger and more natural appearance.
- A breast lift also reduces enlarged areolas when the pressure from drooping is relieved. If needed, some of the areola is removed by reducing it a bit from the perimeter.
What Can I Expect After a Breast Lift Procedure?
Recovery times vary according to each individual, but as a general rule of thumb, recovery time with limited activity lasts about 10 – 14 days. A complete return to normal activities resumes around 6 weeks.
To reduce swelling and offer added support to your breasts as healing occurs, you’ll be asked to wear a support bra or an elastic bandage for about six weeks.
As the swelling decreases, you’ll be able to see the results of your procedure immediately, and your happiness with your new look begins. A picture is worth a thousand words; see the results Dr. Trupiano’s patients have experienced by looking at their before and after photos.
While you are recovering, be sure not to lift excessive weight. Also, avoid any rigorous motions. These restrictions allow the incisions to completely heal. Be sure to follow all the doctor’s instructions to ensure the success of your surgery.
The final results of your breast lift will continue to appear over the next few months as the shape continues to settle. Any incision marks will also fade as time passes, but the positive results of your surgery will be long-term.
To maintain the new look of your breasts for the longest period of time, you should:
- Maintain your weight
- Live a healthy lifestyle
Breast Reduction
Overly large breasts can cause physical discomfort. Many women also feel self-conscious about breasts that are out of proportion with the rest of their bodies. Breast reduction surgery, also known as mammaplasty, removes the excess fat, glandular tissue and skin from the breasts.

Breast Reduction Surgery
During the surgery, which lasts about three to four hours, you will be medicated with either intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. The nipple will be repositioned and the underlying breast tissue will be reduced, lifted and shaped. To create and support the new, smaller breasts, sutures will be layered within the breast tissue.
Post Breast Reduction Facts
The results of the procedure will be visible immediately, and as the swelling subsides, your satisfaction with the procedure should grow. You should be able to return to normal activities after fourteen days, but you will likely be instructed to wear a support bra day and night for three to four weeks. Your new breast shape and position with settle over the next few months. While incision lines will be visible, with time, they will somewhat fade.
You will appreciate the comfort that comes with having smaller breasts and a more balanced figure. You might find, too, that your self-confidence has grown significantly.
Inverted Nipple
Some women elect to have an inverted nipple corrected in order to heighten their appreciation of their bodies and to grow their self-confidence. This popular and commonly performed procedure will make the nipple stand out from the skin of the breast—even if it has not been stimulated.
Ten to twenty percent of women have inverted nipples, and there are varying degrees of inversion. Some inverted nipples become erect and remain erect temporarily. Others tend to retract quickly back to an inverted position after becoming erect. In some cases, the nipple remains inverted at all times.

Inverted Nipple Surgery Procedure
The procedure is minimally invasive and takes only about thirty minutes. You will receive either intravenous sedation or general anesthesia, and a small incision will be made at the base of the nipple. The release of the fiber and ducts will allow the nipple to protrude. After the procedure, you will be able to promptly return to your normal activities—there is virtually no down time.
The results of the procedure will be immediately visible, and you may find yourself standing taller and prouder.
