Cosmetic breast surgery is designed to alter the size and shape of the breast for cosmetic reasons. Some surgery however can be done for the primary purpose of correcting a chronic medical condition. Breast reduction surgery for example is designed to remove excessive skin, breast tissue and muscle to reduce the size of a breast that is too large. Breasts that are to large can cause chronic back, neck and shoulder pain since their weight and size pull the spine out of position. Breast reconstructive surgery is another type of cosmetic surgery that has a primary goal to correct a medical condition. Women who have undergone a breast removal due to cancer for example may be able to have the breast reconstructed for cosmetic reasons. Often times these are the two types of surgeries that can be covered by health insurance since the primary goal is to correct a health condition and not just cosmetic.
Other types of cosmetic breast surgeries include breast augmentation which is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries. most women are familiar with this type of procedure designed to enlarge and enhance the size of the natural breast. Implants are either constructed out of saline or silicone and each type carries different benefits as well as risk factors.
Breast lift surgery is designed to lift up a breast that is sagging due to gravity either from age or from child bearing and breast feeding. the ideal candidates for this type of procedure are usually finished having children and breast feeding which ensures the surgical results will be long lasting.
If you are considering having any type of cosmetic surgery done you should make sure the doctor you select is a board member of the American Board of Plastic Surgeons. This ensures that the doctor you select has actual experience not only as a plastic surgeon but also at least five years of experience as a general surgeon. Many patients gloss over the fact that although it is an elective procedure it is still a surgery and there are risks factors involved. Be sure to discuss the reality of your surgery with your doctor before you decide if surgery is right for you or not. You should fully understand how long you need to recover, the risk factors involved as well as the benefits you can gain from your surgery.
Which ever type of cosmetic breast surgery you are considering be sure to discuss your expectations with your doctor. Patients who are generally unhappy with their results are usually unhappy because they went into the procedure with unrealistic expectations that could have been adjusted prior to surgery for better results.
Denver, CO, Jun 26, 2012 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) –Christopher G. Williams, M.D. and Jeremy Z. Williams, M.D. recently released their new breast reconstruction website for The Breast Center Park Meadows Cosmetic Surgery in dedication to their patients, the brave women healing from their battle against breast cancer. The new website features real survival stories from The Breast Center Park Meadows Cosmetic Surgery patients. Board-certified plastic surgeons and co-owners of their practice, Dr. Jeremy and Dr. Christopher Williams have helped hundreds of breast cancer survivors write their survival story as they become educated about the many options of breast reconstruction available. Breast cancer survivors can rediscover the curves, femininity, and wholeness they lost during their battle against breast cancer thanks to various advanced autologous methods or implant-based breast reconstruction in Denver, Colorado.
for many women, breast reconstruction is a final healing after enduring a mastectomy to survive cancer. Dr. Christopher Williams initially took interest in performing breast reconstructive surgery because, “it represents a physical and emotional reconstruction of a woman after what could otherwise be a significantly deforming surgery–a bilateral mastectomy.” to ensure that each individual patient receives the procedure best suited for them, The Breast Center Park Meadows Cosmetic Surgery offers implant-based reconstruction as well as a variety of autologous breast reconstruction options, including the DIEP Flap, SGAP Flap, SCIA Flap, SIEA Flap, TUG Flap, and Latissimus Flap. Each autologous procedure utilizes a different donor location to reconstruct the breast. for example, the DIEP Flap in Denver utilizes a woman’s abdominal tissue to create the breast while the TUG Flap uses autologous donor tissue from the patient’s inner thigh.
In addition to a comprehensive list of autologous procedures to choose from, Dr. Jeremy and Dr. Christopher Williams also offer implant-based breast reconstruction with saline or silicone breast implants. Implant-based breast reconstruction can be the preferred option for many women as not all women are candidates for autologous reconstruction. The doctors and staff at The Breast Center Park Meadows Cosmetic Surgery ensure that patients leave their office educated about all their options in breast reconstruction, so each patient can make an informed decision about their individual reconstructive surgery.
Whether patients decide to pursue the autologous or implant-based option, The Breast Center Park Meadows Cosmetic Surgery is a beautiful, comfortable, safe, and private setting in which to receive your breast reconstruction in Denver. Dr. Jeremy Williams believes that, “the principal difference in The Breast Center Park Meadows Cosmetic Surgery and other centers around Colorado is that we provide the full spectrum of breast reconstruction options–from implants, to flaps, to the latest in perforator-based techniques–as well as the latest techniques in fat grafting. Unlike the large academic institutions, we can provide a private, comfortable setting where patients are made to feel important and cared for as an individual, and the surgeons and staff have the opportunity to really get to know patients on a personal level.”
Breast cancer survivors can feel comfortable at The Breast Center Park Meadows Cosmetic Surgery with the knowledge that Dr. Christopher and Dr. Jeremy Williams care very deeply about their patients. Through the years, the surgeons have positively impacted both the cosmetic and emotional lives of hundreds of patients. The Breast Center Park Meadows Cosmetic Surgery performed the first SIEA Flap in Colorado and was among the first to perform a Bilateral DIEP Flap in Colorado in 2009. In 2010, they performed the first bilateral nipple-sparing mastectomy in Colorado and achieved their 200th DIEP Flap to date in Colorado, and just this past year, Dr. Jeremy and Dr. Christopher Williams performed the first bilateral TUG Flap in Colorado.
as is apparent by their many milestones, the board-certified surgeons at The Breast Center Park Meadows Cosmetic Surgery finally offers the Colorado area what it previously lacked; a Joint Commission Accredited surgical facility to safely and confidently perform breast reconstruction. Dr. Jeremy Williams is, “proud to offer patients in Colorado what previously would have required a drive, thousands of miles away. we spend 45 minutes to an hour with our patients during their initial consult, and they see their physician, not a nurse, at every appointment.” The surgeons and staff at The Breast Center Park Meadows Cosmetic Surgery provide each individual patient with the healing care necessary to achieve their cosmetic and emotional goals from the convenience of the Colorado area.
From the initial consultation, through subsequent appointments and surgery, to recovery, Dr. Christopher and Dr. Jeremy Williams not only have the knowledge, training, and surgical skills but also the compassion to support patients on a journey to regain their self-image. Every survivor has a story, and The Breast Center Park Meadows Cosmetic Surgery is honored to help patients write a healing and fulfilling conclusion. Christopher G. Williams, M.D. and Jeremy Z. Williams, M.D., and their friendly staff welcome any questions you may have about autologous or implant-based breast reconstruction.
