Breast Surgery (Augmentation, Lift & Reduction)

Breast surgery at the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute encompasses augmentation, mastopexy (breast lift), and reduction, each planned and performed by Dr. Rod J. Rohrich with a focus on proportional, anatomy-driven outcomes.

For breast augmentation, Dr. Rohrich's preferred approach is submuscular placement of the implant beneath the pectoralis major muscle. This technique provides more soft-tissue coverage over the implant, reduces the risk of capsular contracture, and produces a more natural slope and feel compared with subglandular placement. Implant selection — saline or silicone, round or shaped, and specific profile — is guided by the patient's chest wall dimensions,…

Breast lift surgery addresses ptosis (drooping) that can result from weight loss, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or natural ageing. The technique chosen depends on the degree of ptosis: patients with minimal sagging may be candidates for a concentric (periareolar) incision, while moderate-to-significant ptosis typically requires the anchor (inverted-T) incision pattern. When a patient desires both lift and increased volume, implants are placed simultaneously…
