FAQ
Is usually suggested for women with smaller, under-developed
breasts or on women who have experienced undesirable change in
breast size or shape due to pregnancy, weight loss or aging
process.
Breast augmentation is generally very successful at making
breast larger and makes them appear fuller and better shaped.
Usually, enlarged breasts look very natural and less saggy.
Depending on the original breast shape, some women may require
additional surgeries, such as breast lift, to achieve most
desirable results.
During the initial consultation Dr Turowski will discuss your
concerns and will outline the plan for treatment. He will
explain technical intricacies of the procedure and will help you
decide which incision option and size of the breast will best
meet your cosmetic goals.

FAQ
These procedures are designed to reduce size of the breasts.
Large breasts are frequently associated with upper back/neck
pain, shoulder grooving, under breast skin irritation.
Therefore, most of these procedures are potentially covered by
health insurance. Each patient has to be individually approved
by her insurance company.
There are several techniques of breast reduction procedure.
Generally they are either conventional inverted ?T? techniques
or vertical ?lollipop? type surgery. Both are great ways to
reduce breasts and have advantages and disadvantages. Dr
Turowski utilizes both techniques for breast reduction. The
choice which technique is used depends mostly on the size/shape
of patient?s breasts and her desires for size change. This is
usually discussed in detail during a personal consultation.

Some women are either born with inverted nipples (or nipple) or
develop this deformity over time or as result of breast feeding.
Although functionally it is rarely a problem (can prevent breast
feeding ability), it may be a source of social discomfort and
anxiety. Inverted nipples can be corrected during an easy to go
through procedure performed under local anesthesia in Dr
Turowski?s office. The procedure leaves no conspicuous scarring
and is easily tolerated without down time.
Correction of breast asymmetry

Most women have some minor asymmetries of the breasts. These
usually do not cause any concerns and are as typical as minor
asymmetry of the face. However in some cases these asymmetries
maybe very significant and may be causing significant degree of
anxiety. These can be corrected through a variety of procedures,
including breast reduction, augmentation or lift. The decision
which procedure is optimal for particular patient can only be
determined during a personal consultation with Dr Turowski and
through a discussion of patient?s goals.
