Breast reduction is the procedure used to reduce and reshape the disproportionately large, drooping breast. It not only improves the way the patient looks, but also relieves the weight bearing pain and  discomfort of the neck, shoulder region and upper back. This procedure also allows for more comfort during physical activity in addition to improving a more youthful appearance of the breast.
Breast reduction can be thought of as breast lifting with resection of more tissue in order to significantly reduce the breast volume. The incisions are similar, as are the complications. Details regarding the operations are very similar to those discussed with breast lift above. Breast reduction patients are some of the most satisfied patients undergoing breast surgery.

 For patients that have undergone mastectomy for breast cancer, breast reconstruction can return a more natural form to the female body. Dr. Lowenstein's extensive experience with breast reconstruction allows patients to benefit from a range of possible procedures. Consultations will include a broad educational discussion about all different types of breast reconstruction, including the risks and benefits of each type. Possible procedures include the use of breast implants or the use of tissue flaps to recreate one or both breasts. Because every woman is different, operations are tailored to each individual patient to optimize postoperative results.

 Surgery can be performed to correct an inverted nipple, or to decrease the diameter of a wide areola. These procedures can be performed alone or in conjunction with breast augmentation or breast lift. Because correction of the inverted nipples can involve cutting across milk ducts, this can impair future breast-feeding. Nipple inversion correction is not usually performed at the same time as placement of a breast implant, to reduce the incidence of infection.

Gynecomastia is the condition in which male breast tissue is more substantial than desired. This can be the result of many different factors, but can be treated surgically. During a surgical consultation, a careful medical history is obtained to look for potential causes of this condition. If no rever sible medical condition is found, surgical correction may be indicated. Surgical correction involves incisions around the areola, with a combination of liposuction and direct excision in order to achieve a natural chest contour.
