  • Breast Reduction

    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.

  • Gynecomastia

    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 reversible medical condition is found, surgical correction may be indicated.

  • Nipple Surgery

    Surgery can be preformed to correct an inverted nipple, or to decrease the nipple size or create a smaller areola. These procedures can often be performed under local anesthetic or often combined with other procedures.

Here are 5 common reasons Dr. Lowenstein performs breast implant surgery:

1. “I can’t find flattering clothes that fit me.”

This is a frequent complaint of our preoperative breast patients in sunny Santa Barbara. Bathing suits are fun to wear, but do tend to accentuate specific aspects of the body. Wearing light clothes and bathing suits with a smaller chest can be an attractive look; and one that many men and women prefer. Some women, however, feel that breast implant surgery allows them to fill out many different types of clothing that allows for a more proportionate and aesthetic appearance. If you prefer this type of appearance and clothes that fit in this way, this is a good reason to consider surgery.

2. “I would like my body to be more proportional.”

Many women find that their body type and their breast size don’t correspond well to each other. This is the same reason that some women get breast reductions and this is an excellent reason for that operation as well. A proportioned look is very aesthetically pleasing, both when nude and clothed. That being said, everyone has her own “ideal”, and Dr. Lowenstein’s goal is to achieve your “ideal proportion”. Breast implant surgery can help you to achieve a beautifully proportional look, and this is what Dr. Lowenstein likes to achieve here in Santa Barbara.

3. “My breasts have gotten smaller as I’ve aged.”

Often during pregnancy, a woman’s breast will enlarge with growth of the milk producing glands required for breast-feeding. Subsequently, some women experience a shrinking of the breast tissue, and wish to achieve the appearance they had before or during pregnancy. This again is an excellent reason to have breast implant surgery. Dr. Lowenstein sees a lot of Santa Barbara mothers who very much enjoy returning to their pre-atrophy look.

4. ”My breasts are sagging.”

This is called “ptosis”, or drooping of the breast, and also may follow pregnancy as an unwanted change. A breast lift alone may correct this problem, but sometimes an implant may be required as well to achieve the look that the patients wish to have. A mastopexy (breast lift) can be performed at the same time as a breast augmentation, and gives a great, youthful appearance to the breast form.

5. “My breasts are different sizes.”

Breast asymmetry is a natural and completely normal finding. Some degree of natural asymmetry should be expected as part of life, but if there is a significant difference in appearance between the two breasts, breast implant surgery can help to give the patient a better appearance. In these situations, a different sized breast implant can be utilized on each side to achieve a natural, symmetric look. No two breasts will ever be exactly the same size with or without surgery, but with today’s surgical options, improvement can be made to the point that it is difficult to see any difference in the size or shape from one breast to the other.
