Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve breast size and shape. The most frequently performed cosmetic surgery in America, breast enhancement is a great choice for those looking to increase their natural size or restore lost volume. It can also correct asymmetry.
The procedure utilizes breast implants filled with either saline or silicone gel to provide an enhanced breast profile. Breast implants are highly customizable and can work for virtually all body types and aesthetic goals.

Breast Implant Exchange
Breast implants may not be lifetime devices. Implants may eventually need to be removed and replaced, depending on a variety of circumstances. If necessary, this is done during a procedure called breast implant exchange, also known as breast implant revision.
Implants don’t have an expiration date. The right time to exchange implants is different for every woman. Factors such as implant deflation, change in implant position, or a change in aesthetic preferences can signal the need for replacement. The most common reason to exchange breast implants, however, is simply a desire to change their size.
Breast Lift
A breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, is intended to lift droopy or saggy breasts and restore a more youthful appearance. Breast lifts involve removing excess breast tissue, tightening remaining tissue, and repositioning the nipples and areolas to provide a firmer, perkier profile.
The procedure is not meant to increase breast size. Patients looking to make their breasts larger may also benefit from breast implants in addition to a breast lift.
Breast Reduction
For women who suffer from chronic back, shoulder, or neck pain due to the excessive size of their breasts, breast reduction can provide a dramatic improvement in symptoms and quality of life.
Breast reduction surgery removes excess tissue from the breasts to achieve a more proportional appearance with your body frame. In addition to the improvement in symptoms, the breast reduction procedure typically improves the aesthetic appearance of the breasts as well.

Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction is often an important step in the recovery process following breast cancer treatment. Dr. Vaughn has been trained in a variety of surgical techniques to restore the natural shape of the breast after a mastectomy.
Reconstruction with implants is the leading technique. It recreates breast appearance, contour, and volume through the placement of silicone or saline implants. The procedure can be performed at any time after breast cancer surgery.
Male Breast Reduction
Gynecomastia is the condition of enlarged breasts in males. Although the condition sometimes corrects itself on its own, some individuals benefit from male breast reduction surgery.
Male breast reduction can be performed with liposuction alone or liposuction combined with surgical excision of breast tissue.
