Fairfax County, Virginia, Breast Enhancement with Augmentation and Breast Lift

Many of our Fairfax County patients find that breast enhancement surgery helps them feel more satisfied with their bodies. It gives them the confidence to wear the fashions they never thought they could wear and boosts their self image in so many other ways. Dr. Goldberg, Dr. Krieger, and their Fairfax County staff in Virginia understand that breast augmentation and breast lift surgery are life-changing procedures for those who undergo them. We are exceptionally trained and skilled in breast procedures, offering an unmatched level of care and commitment for this delicate, personal surgery.

Breast Augmentation/Implants

Many of the women who visit our Fairfax County practice for breast augmentation are interested in enhancement that will boost their natural breast shape and size. However, it is important to remember that breast augmentation with implants is not a one-size-fits-all procedure. Our surgeons take many factors into consideration when evaluating a patient for breast augmentation. The width of the patient's chest as well as the size and droop of existing breast tissue will influence the type of breast augmentation surgery that Dr. Andrew Goldberg and Dr. Mitchel Krieger will perform.

Some of our Fairfax County patients opt for breast augmentation after childbirth, at a time when their breasts have lost volume or firmness. In addition, breast feeding can leave the breasts with a droopy, deflated appearance. In both instances, saline implant placement results in larger, fuller, firmer breasts. The implants can be placed through a variety of approaches. Incisions placed on or under the breast heal beautifully, leaving only a barely visible thin line. For those who want to avoid incisions on the breast, implants can also be placed remotely through a small incision in the armpit. Implants come in a variety of sizes and shapes to allow for customized surgical enhancement. Dr. Goldberg and Dr. Krieger are experienced in advising you as to the right implant to help you achieve your breast enhancement goals.

Breast Lift

The effects of time, weight fluctuations, and pregnancy can often be seen in breasts that lose elasticity and begin to droop. This situation can be corrected at our Fairfax County, Virginia, practice with a breast enhancement procedure that does not involve implants. A breast lift is a surgical procedure that tightens sagging skin and restores a firm, smooth shape to your breasts. By removing excess skin and elevating the remaining tissue and nipples, we can surgically reposition and reshape sagging breasts. In addition to tightening and lifting the breast, breast lift can also reduce the size of the areola, if necessary.

Because breast lift (also known as mastopexy) does not add any actual volume to the breast, it's a good option for patients who are satisfied with the way their breasts look when they're wearing a bra, but not when the bra is removed. However, our Virginia surgeons often combine breast lift with breast augmentation. This method results in a fullness that is more long-lasting.

When you visit our Virginia office for your initial breast lift consultation, we will thoroughly discuss these considerations with you and make sure you understand the benefits of each option. To learn more about breast lift surgery, please contact our office today.

Breast Reduction

Large breasts that are out of proportion with the rest of the body can cause both physical pain and emotional discomfort. Breast reduction surgery can help you look and feel better by removing excess breast tissue and shaping the remaining tissue to form the attractive, natural-looking, and proportional contour you desire.

Combination Procedures

Sometimes, our Fairfax county cosmetic surgeons may recommend more than one procedure to achieve the breast enhancement the patient desires. For example, a breast augmentation may be combined with a breast lift to create the patient's desired position and projection. Depending on your circumstances, these procedures may be done in sequence or in combination. Dr. Goldberg and Dr. Krieger can advise you on the best approach to creating the bustline you have always wanted.

Implant Exchanges

A variety of options are available to replace older saline or silicone gel implants that have leaked, ruptured, or hardened. Dr. Goldberg and Dr. Krieger are experienced in correcting problems associated with these older implants.

Silicone Implants

Dr. Goldberg and Dr. Krieger can insert silicone gel breast implants for patients meeting certain FDA requirements. As investigators for the silicone gel adjunct study, they have particular knowledge and expertise in dealing with issues related to silicone gel implants. Please contact our office to schedule a complimentary breast augmentation consultation to determine if you qualify for silicone implants.

Breast Reconstruction

Breast reconstruction surgery is often done after breast cancer treatment. Following a lumpectomy or mastectomy, breast reconstruction surgery restores the appearance of the breast and helps the woman recover emotionally from the loss of breast tissue. Dr. Goldberg and Dr. Krieger perform a variety of breast reconstruction procedures, including implant and TRAM Flap breast reconstruction.

Male Breast Reduction

Overly developed breast tissue in men with otherwise normal body weight is a medical condition called gynecomastia. A male breast reduction procedure can remove the excess tissue, giving you a flatter and firmer chest. For the most natural look, incisions are carefully placed to minimize scarring.

"Dr. Krieger is an excellent surgeon. At my initial consultation; he took the time to get to know me and my personal needs. He honestly made me feel like I was his only patient and at no time did I ever feel rushed. He (and his staff) has only given me the most professional care from the first visit right on through to the final one. After having lost 140 pounds via to GBS I had several pounds of skin that hung from every area of my body. Dr. Krieger was able to work with me and designed a game plan tailored to my body/needs. He sculptured my body into something that I thought was not possible.

As for my procedures, I had a complete lower body lift, breast lift, brachioplasty (arm tuck), upper body lift (removing the skin from my upper back/sides) and liposuction. He always made me feel great about myself and always has conducted himself as a professional. In addition, he has the best “bedside manners” of any doctor that I have ever met! He ROCKS!!

My body looks amazing, thanks to Dr. Krieger! I would be honored to share my story with you about my personal experience with Dr. Krieger; so if you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me at XXXXXX"
