Breast Augmentation
Breasts size and shape are a uniquely personal choice. Only you can decide what is right for you, but you’ll appreciate the “woman to woman” approach at Dr. Ellen’s office. When you look in the mirror, do you like what you see? Breast augmentation for young women can make a big difference in self esteem for a lifetime. Breast augmentation for more mature women can correct the effects of aging, weight loss or breast feeding that may have taken a toll on your figure.
Are you a good candidate for Breast Augmentation? This procedure is designed for women who want natural looking breasts in proportion to their bodies. The look and feel of your breasts can have a powerful effect on your self-esteem and confidence.
Dr. Ellen will walk you through a complete pre-operative consultation, discussing your expectations and exactly what Breast Augmentation can do for you. We find that our patients are overwhelmingly thrilled with their results, both physically and emotionally – but it all starts with a thorough understanding of your desires. There is a great sense of satisfaction knowing that your body looks the way you want to, and the renewed confidence is a great gift you can give to yourself.
Breast Augmentation uses either saline or silicone implants to enlarge and reshape the size of the breast. The advantages to both, and the best choice for your needs, will be discussed during your consultation with Dr. Ellen.
With new advances in silicone implant safety, many women have chosen this option to replicate the look and feel of natural breasts - soft to the touch while maintaining their firmness.
You’ll also learn about ERA – Easy Recovery Augmentation – that has been pioneered by Dr. Ellen. Her techniques allow for less time in surgery – which means less time recovering after your procedure.
Are you a candidate? If you want larger, fuller breasts, or simply feel your breasts are not in proportion to your figure, you owe it to yourself to discuss Breast Augmentation with Dr. Ellen.

Breast Lift
The effect gravity has on our breasts becomes more evident as we age. When you look in the mirror, do you long for the breasts you had before children? For women who are relatively happy with the size and shape of their chest, but are looking to regain some youthful appearance, a Breast Lift is a terrific option to consider.
Also called a Mastopexy, a Breast Lift literally “perks up” droopy breasts and tightens them to restore their firm, natural youthful appearance and shape. A Breast Lift has the advantage of allowing you to keep your natural breasts while removing the effects of time from the chest. Women who are particularly concerned about a loss of sensitivity say that the Breast Lift has given them back their youth while not altering the natural sensations and feel.
During surgery, excess skin is removed to lift the breast to the desired position. If saggy breasts make you feel older or less confident about your appearance, speak with Dr. Ellen about the advantages of a Breast Lift. Turning back the hands of time can make a big difference in how you look and feel about your body.
