Breast and body procedures, and how they relate

The procedures on this page fall into two groups. Breast surgery changes size, shape or position — adding volume, lifting tissue that has descended, reducing weight that causes neck and shoulder strain, or removing and exchanging existing implants. Body contouring addresses skin and fat that no longer respond to weight loss or exercise, most often across the abdomen, arms, thighs and flanks.

They are frequently combined, because the changes that prompt them often arrive together — after pregnancy, after significant weight loss, or with age. Several results in the gallery are single operations filed under two procedures for that reason, and each one is marked as such.

What is appropriate depends on skin quality, how much tissue is involved, and whether the goal is lifting, reducing or reshaping. Those are assessed in person, and combining procedures also means one recovery rather than two, which is part of the discussion rather than an afterthought.
