Breast AugmentationBreast Augmentation (Augmentation Mammaplasty) is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgery procedures for women, and is especially effective in providing fullness and shape after breast feeding or pregnancy has caused sagging and loss of breast volume/shape. A saline-filled implant is inserted through an incision under the crease in the breast, around the nipple, or through the armpit. The implant can be placed under the breast tissue or beneath the chest wall muscle. After surgery, breasts will appear "fuller" and shapelier in contour. Incision scars will fade over time.
Breast LiftOver time, the effects of gravity along with the loss of the skin's natural elasticity begins to have a negative impact on the appearance of a woman's breasts. These factors, combined with pregnancies and nursing will often cause the breasts to lose their youthful shape and firmness.
If there is enough volume, a breast lift, or mastopexy, may be all that is required to raise and reshape sagging breasts. The procedure can also reduce the size of the areola (the darker skin surrounding the nipple). Breast implants inserted in conjunction with a mastopexy procedure can increase both firmness and size.
Breast ReductionLarge, pendulous breasts may cause a woman to experience various medical problems caused by the excessive weight of the breast tissue. Problems with posture, skeletal deformities, back and neck pain, and skin irritations are common with this condition. Bra straps often leave indentations in the shoulder area. Many women are very self-conscious if they have unusually large breasts, and find it difficult, if not impossible, to exercise.
Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammaplasty) removes fat, glandular tissue, and excessive skin, resulting in smaller, lighter and firmer breasts that are better shaped in proportion to the rest of the body.
Breast ReconstructionReconstruction of the breast after a Mastectomy due to cancer or other disease is quite possible with today's surgical procedures. Using the newest techniques, Dr. Dick is often able to create a breast that is similar in form and appearance to that of the natural breast. A consultation will provide you with information on the many available options for post-mastectomy breast reconstruction.

"It's been one year since my facelift, and I wanted to let you know how happy I am with the results of your wonderful skill and artistry.
A year ago, I looked like I was tired and angry all the time because of my deep frown lines and the puffy bags under my eyes. There was no way for me to apply eye shadow because of all the loose skin on my upper eyelids. My jowls made me look old and out-of-shape even though my weight was (and is) normal and I go to the gym six days a week. It was so frustrating to try to look good. I found myself trying to avoid catching sight of myself in mirrors.
All those things are gone now, without a trace. I'm so happy that I look so much younger and prettier.
Your reputation was such that I had complete confidence in you, and I'm so very happy with my decision.
Words can't really express my admiration and gratitude.
Sincerely,
Eileen P.
"I want to take this opportunity to tell you how happy I am with my new arms. Having normal arms was an unreachable goal for me and I had convinced myself that I would live life the best that I could, after all I was thin, wasn’t I? There are no words that can express how I feel now. When I look at myself, my beautiful, thin shapely arms, I have you to thank."
With admiration,
