A well-proportioned and lifted bust can restore confidence, comfort, and overall body proportions. There are many reasons patients seek breast procedures with Dr. James Apesos. Goals can include reducing the size and pain of large pendulous breasts, restoring volume after pregnancy, or lifting sagging breasts after weight loss. Many patients benefit from combining procedures, such as augmentation and lift, to address both volume and contour.
Build the breasts of your dreams to enhance your femininity and boost your confidence
Whether due to genetics, pregnancy, weight changes, or aging, some women feel their breasts no longer reflect their sense of self. Breast augmentation can restore balance, femininity, and confidence.
Both saline and silicone implants are available. Sizing is highly individual, and Dr. Apesos will work carefully with you to determine what size implant best complements your aesthetic goals.
Time, gravity, weight loss, pregnancy, and breastfeeding can all change how your breasts look—and how you feel in your body.
A breast lift restores youthful contour by reshaping and elevating sagging breast tissue. May be performed with or without implants. Dr Apesos will work with you to create a strategy to deliver the shape and contour you desire.
For many women, overly large breasts cause daily physical discomfort and unwanted attention. A breast reduction can be the solution you are seeking.
Many patients experience relief from back, neck, and shoulder pain. Breast reduction has one of the highest patient satisfaction rates of all plastic surgery procedures. “I wish I had done this years ago!” is a common statement heard by many patients. In cases where a reduction is medically necessary, Dr. Apesos may refer patients to a board-certified plastic surgeon accepting insurance.
Over time, implants may no longer align with your health priorities, lifestyle, or self-image.
Implant removal is often about returning to a more natural state—or simply moving forward into a new life chapter. Patients may desire to remove implants (with or without a lift) or exchange implants for a larger or smaller size. Implant removal is approached with careful planning to restore comfort and natural shape.
Inverted nipples can affect self-confidence, intimacy, and breastfeeding. There is a surgical solution
Correcting them can be a deeply personal step toward feeling more comfortable and at ease with your body. For patients desiring to breastfeed, Dr. Apesos provides patient counseling on non-surgical techniques to evert the nipples. Inverted nipple correction restores natural projection while maintaining sensation and breast aesthetics.
Nipple and areola reduction surgery is a highly personal choice for patients seeking improved proportion and balance in the appearance of the breasts.
Dr. Apesos customizes each procedure to reduce nipple and/or areola size while preserving sensation and natural breast aesthetics. For patients who wish to breastfeed in the future, surgical planning and counseling focus on techniques that minimize disruption to the milk ducts whenever possible. While breastfeeding cannot be guaranteed after surgery, every effort is made to support this goal when it is a priority.
Did you have plastic surgery, and the results were just not right? Did a plastic surgeon fail to meet your expectations? There is hope. Plastic surgery can be revised and improved. Dr. Apesos knows what is possible with surgical revisions.
Dr. Apesos has decades of experience in revising prior surgical procedures, from minor tweaks to major reconstruction. Due to adhesions, scar tissue, and anatomical changes, secondary surgeries can be highly complex and require the skills and demonstrated competence of a board-certified plastic surgeon. Whether you are looking to address complications, refine outcomes, restore function, or accommodate changing aesthetic goals, we can create a customized plan focused on safety, balance, and realistic expectations.
