Breasts are one of the most distinguishing features on a woman's body and can affect your appearance in many ways, including making you look younger or older than you actually are.

A well-proportioned, well-placed bust line affects not only the appearance of the breasts, but it can make your waist appear smaller, make your hips and buttocks appear more proportional, and create a curvier, more youthful appearance.

For various reasons, women are often unhappy with the current size and/or shape of their breasts. They may think they're too large, too small, or too droopy all making them feel self-conscious and less attractive.

Dr. Webb performs the following breast surgeries at New Horizons...

Dr. Webb is incredibly skilled in overall body assessment and can ensure that your new breasts are not only beautiful in their own right but will wonderfully complement your entire body.

Every woman's body is different, so the surgical procedure used to insert your breast implant (breast augmentation) will vary according to the size and shape of your breasts. The three incision areas are underneath the breast, around the areola or in the armpit, and the breast implant may then be placed behind the pectoral muscles or directly beneath the existing breast tissue. Dr. Webb prefers to create the incision underneath the breast and place the implant behind the pectoral muscle of the chest wall.

The breast lift/mastopexy procedure takes about an hour and half to three hours under general anesthesia with incisions outlining the areas of the skin to be removed and where the new nipple is to be positioned.

Breast reconstruction surgery works to build up the breast to its original size and restore the contour of the breast both in and out of clothes. If you've had a mastectomy on one breast, breast reconstruction can also balance the size of your original breast with the restored breast. Breast reconstruction can also be performed on both breasts if you've had a double mastectomy.
