Breast implant projection, also known as breast implant profile, refers to the amount of forward projection an implant offers when sitting against your chest wall. If you were to lie an implant flat on a table, you would be able to see the amount of projection by how tall the implant is.
There are several types of profiles, ranging from low to high projection. An implant with a lower profile generally has a wider base width so it lies flatter against your chest, while a higher profile will have a narrower base width so that it can project further from your […]

Medical Surgery Complications
As with any surgery, undergoing mastopexy involves possible medical complications. Aside from the potential dangers common to any complicated surgery (like experiencing anaesthetic side effects or allergic reactions to the use of certain medications), other risks include the following:Loss of Sensitivity Of The BreastsMany patients experience a temporary loss in breast sensitivity after mastopexy.

Our Plastic Surgeons combine two forms of cosmetic breast surgery into a single procedure for suitable patients. This surgical approach of breast implants with lift allows for the simultaneous treatment of insufficient volume and sagging.The increase in breast size that occurs with pregnancy typically dissipates following the delivery of a child. The result of this volume loss is an underfilled, sagging skin envelope that many women find unpleasant. This condition is often accompanied by an unnaturally lowered nipple/areola (ptosis). A breast lift and augmentation are procedures designed to address these concerns. A lift alone can correct ptosis, but will leave […]
