At UT Southwestern Medical Center, our breast plastic surgery specialists are leaders in the techniques used for procedures such as breast augmentations, breast reductions, breast lifts and breast reconstruction.

Whether restoring or enhancing the breasts, the key to breast surgery is to improve symmetry while enhancing the natural breast contour and shape. Our plastic surgeons evaluate the patient’s breast tissue, skin elasticity and chest wall dimensions to determine what will work best.

Some of the treatments we offer include:

• Breast augmentation (saline and silicone)
• Breast implant exchange/removal
• Breast reconstruction after cancer
• Breast reduction
• Breast lift (mastopexy)
• Revisional surgery
• Congenital deformities

UT Southwestern’s plastic surgeons are recognized as leaders in breast surgery. At home in one of the nation's leading medical and research facilities, UT Southwestern's physicians are also dedicated to providing each of our patients with an individual, personalized approach to treatment.
