Breast Lift

For a subtle enhancement of the bustline, a breast lift at our Thousand Oaks practice may be the perfect solution. A breast lift can correct the natural effects of aging such as drooping and sagging, or the excess skin that usually accompanies a significant reduction in weight. Whether pregnancy, aging or weight loss has caused your breasts to appear less youthful, Dr. Azar can restore them to their original firmness and shape so you can regain confidence in your feminine figure.

The Breast Lift Procedure

The breast lift procedure consists of eliminating excess skin and tissue, lifting and tightening the breasts and raising the position of the nipples. A breast lift restores your youthful curves in little more than an hour and is often performed in combination with breast augmentation at our Thousand Oaks office for more dramatic results.

Unlike traditional breast lift techniques, Dr. Azar uses a technique that minimizes the length and appearance of scars so you can enjoy your shapely new breasts without feeling self-conscious about scarring.

If your breasts are uneven, a breast lift is also highly effective for treating asymmetry. Dr. Azar can lift one or both breasts to restore balance to your figure with breast lift surgery. Our Thousand Oaks cosmetic surgery practice has been helping women all over the Los Angles and Ventura counties renew their figures with breast lift surgery.

Breast Reduction

Oversized breasts can make a woman feel self-conscious and embarrassed, as well as physically uncomfortable. Women with overly large or heavy breasts often experience physical discomfort, including neck and back pain and bra strap indentations on their shoulders. A breast reduction can significantly improve the quality of life for women suffering from excessively large breasts by alleviating this pain and discomfort. In some cases, breast reduction surgery is considered medically necessary reconstructive surgery and may be covered by insurance.

The Breast Reduction Procedure

The breast reduction procedure performed at our Thousand Oaks practice reduces the size of large breasts, making them smaller, lighter and more proportionate to the rest of the body. The procedure entails an incision made around the areola (the dark circle of skin surrounding the nipple) and below the natural curve of the breast.

Excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin are removed, and the remaining skin is tightened around the newly contoured breast. The breast reduction procedure generally lasts three hours and is performed under anesthesia on an outpatient basis.

Dr. Azar is sensitive to the needs of women who wish to reduce the size of their breasts and offers confidential breast reduction consultations at his Thousand Oaks office where you can privately discuss your goals and concerns.Contact our cosmetic surgery office today to schedule your consultation.

Gynecomastia Treatment

Gynecomastia is a condition where the male breast is enlarged by excess glandular tissue. It may affect only one breast or both. Although gynecomastia is a fairly common condition, it is rarely discussed.

The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery reports that 20,280 men had plastic surgery to correct gynecomastia in 2007. Gynecomastia may be caused by a number of factors including obesity, genetic disorders, hormonal imbalances and chronic liver disease. Significant weight loss may resolve gynecomastia for men who are overweight, but most often surgery is the only viable solution.

The Male Breast Reduction Procedure

Dr. Azar can successfully treat gynecomastia with surgical male breast reduction. Depending on the needs of the patient, Dr. Azar may perform liposuction alone to remove excess fat or combine liposuction with a scalpel technique to excise glandular tissue as well as any excess fatty tissue.

The procedure is performed by making an incision either around the areola (the darker skin surrounding the nipple) or under the arm. For men seeking treatment of gynecomastia, Dr. Azar offers confidential consultations and individualized treatment plans at his office in Thousand Oaks.
