West Houston Plastic Surgery offers the full range of breast procedures — augmentation, lift (mastopexy), and reduction — performed in its on-site AAAASF-accredited surgical suite under IV sedation and local anaesthesia, with same-day discharge for most patients. Breast augmentation uses saline or silicone-gel implants placed over or under the pectoral muscle through a natural breast-crease incision. Mastopexy removes excess skin, tightens supporting tissue, and repositions the nipple-areola complex; an anchor or concentric incision pattern is chosen based on the degree of ptosis. Breast reduction addresses overly large breasts through a three-incision technique removing excess tissue, fat, and skin, with optional liposuction for underarm contour refinement.

Incision pattern is selected by degree of ptosis: a concentric (periareolar) technique suits…
