Breast reconstruction surgery is performed when a breast has been removed due to cancer or other disease. Virtually any patient who loses their breast can have it rebuilt (with artificial implants and native tissue) through reconstructive surgery, but there are risks associated with any surgery. The surgery can take place immediately following the mastectomy or can be delayed.

Breast reduction surgery is performed to reduce the size of a patient’s breasts. Many patients chose this operation to reduce back, neck and shoulder pain. Some chose this operation to make it easier to participate in sporting activities, to alleviate sleeping problems or poor posture resulting from large breasts, or to avoid unwanted attention and comments about large breasts. Often called Reduction Mammaplasty, this surgery involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the breasts, reshaping of the breasts to form smaller breasts, and repositioning of the nipples.

Rhinoplasty surgery involves repairing or reshaping the nose. Surgery may be performed to reduce or increase the size of the nose, to change the shape, to narrow the opening of the nostrils, correct a birth defect and/or injury or relieve breathing problems.
