Consultation
If your breast shape is bothering you, here’s a quick guide to the breast surgeries performed by Dr. Thomas Bartell, breast surgeon and body recontouring specialist in Madison, Wisconsin. Learn about which procedure can help you attain beautiful, natural-looking results that are right for your body.
Breast Reduction Surgery
If you’re at an otherwise healthy weight, but you have very large breasts that are causing you problems, you might be a good candidate for a breast reduction. Women who opt to have breast reductions do so because their large breasts cause neck, back, and shoulder pain. These women may also experience rashes under their breasts or pain from bra straps.
Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammoplasty, reduces your breast size so that they are more in proportion with the rest of your body. The surgery removes skin, fat and breast glands, decreases the size of the areolas, and elevates the nipples.
For most women, the procedure results in greater comfort in their appearance and how they feel physically. To get an idea of what Dr. Bartell could do for you, check out this gallery of actual patients for breast reduction before and after photos.
Breast Lift Surgery
Another type of breast surgery that Dr. Bartell performs is a breast lift. Breast lift surgery, technically known as mastopexy, raises and reshapes breasts to create a more youthful appearance. You also have the option to add volume to breasts, too.
You might be a good candidate for a breast lift if you are healthy and at a relatively stable weight, but you’ve lost firmness, support, and perhaps volume in your breasts.
Unlike Dr. Bartell’s trans-axillary breast augmentation, breast lift does require leaving scars on the breast. However, they are placed underneath the breasts so that they aren’t visible when you’re wearing clothing.
Breast Augmentation Surgery
If you are flat chested or looking to add more volume to your breasts, you may be a good candidate for a breast augmentation. During breast augmentation, saline implants are placed under the muscle tissue in order to make your breasts larger and more shapely.
Dr. Bartell is the most experienced surgeon in the Madison area who performs trans-axillary breast augmentations. This means that he inserts the saline breast implants through tiny incisions in the armpits. The scars vanish within six months and there are zero scars that are left on the breast.
