Wilmington Plastic Surgery - Dennis B Nicks

No matter what type of breast procedure you may need or desire, Wilmington Plastic Surgery in Wilmington, North Carolina will help you to perfect your proportions. For many women, breasts are not simply part of one's physical makeup, they can also play an emotional role.

Women considering breast enhancement have personal reasons for choosing Breast Augmentation Surgery (augmentation mammoplasty). They may be unsatisfied with the size or shape of their breasts, preferring a larger cup size for aesthetic reasons, or they may wish to reclaim their shape following pregnancy, breastfeeding or weight loss.

For women whose breasts have lost their shape and firmness, excellent restorative results may be best accomplished through a breast lift surgery (mastopexy). A woman's body endures many changes throughout the course of her life depending on what she has experienced. Breasts are susceptible to the hormonal changes of puberty and pregnancy, weight gain and loss, and the normal pull of gravity as we age. These changes, combined with decreased skin elasticity, often cause the breasts to droop and lose their firmness and supple shape.

While not all women who lose one or both breasts to cancer or another condition feel the desire to have breast reconstructive surgery, many do. Every woman should decide what is right for her and not feel pressured to conform to anyone else's ideal or standard. The very real emotional component of cancer recovery and breast reconstruction must also be carefully considered. All of the physicians at Wilmington Plastic Surgery have compassionately performed reconstructive breast surgery on a multitude of women.
