Breast augmentation is achieved by placing implants to increase the volume and projection of the breasts. The implants used can be
either saline or silicone. The implants can be placed either above or below the pectoralis muscle. Dr. Healy offers three incision
choices: inframammary fold (below the breast), peri-areolar (around the edge of the nipple) or axillary (under the arm). There are
many factors to be considered for each patient in order to individualize and optimize the result. All of these factors will be
discussed with Dr. Healy during your consultation. Contact Dr. Healy for breast augmentation in Hawaii today. View

Breast Augmentation Considerations
Breast Augmentation pre-surgical information
Breast Lift
A breast lift is a procedure designed to uplift and improve the shape of the breast. Changes that occur to the breasts due to
pregnancy, breast feeding, gravity and aging can be addressed with a breast lift. The technique varies depending on the degree
of ptosis (droopiness) that needs to be corrected. In some patients, implants can be used to help restore the shape of the breasts.
This is a highly individualized procedure, and the individual variables will be discussed with Dr. Healy during your consultation.

Breast Reduction
Breast reduction is a procedure designed to reduce the size and weight of the breasts. Women that have breasts that are too
large for their body frame often experience shoulder, neck and back pain. Other common complaints that are associated with
large breasts are grooves in the shoulders from bra straps, inability to exercise and rashes under the breasts. This procedure
is often covered by insurance companies if certain criteria are met. Dr. Healy will discuss all of the options that are
available during your consultation. Contact Dr. Healy for breast reduction in Hawaii.
