Breast Procedures
Aesthetic Breast Surgery
Dr. Griffin offers a full spectrum of aesthetic and reconstructive breast procedures. Patients desiring aesthetic breast surgery may choose to have augmentation, breast lifting, or breast reduction. A wide variety of silicone and saline implants are available to choose from.
Some of Dr. Griffin’s most requested breast procedures include:
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is accomplished by placement of soft, silicone or saline implants underneath the breast tissue. Generally, the implants are placed under the pectoralis
muscle to achieve a tapered and natural breast enhancement. Occasionally, the implants may be placed on top of the muscle. Dr. Griffin's goal is to create a natural and
beautiful enhancement that is tailored to the needs and desires of each patient. Read More about Breast Augmentation

Breast Augmentation Incisions
Dependent on the patient's desires and breast shape, Dr. Griffin offers breast implant placement through three possible incisions. Patients may choose placement through the
underarm(endoscopic trans-axillary), at the border of the nipple(peri-areolar), or at the breast fold(inframammary).
Mastopexy - Breast Lift
As we age, the breast tissue can lose shape and volume. The effects of breast feeding can also add to a change in breast shape. The upper portion of the breast can appear
less youthful, with the lower breast and nipple resting at a lower position on the chest. Patients with these changes in the breasts, known as Breast Ptosis, may choose to
have a breast lift.
This procedure preserves breast tissue and protects nipple sensation. The breast skin is lifted so that the breast regains a full and youthful shape. Patients may choose to combine breast lifting with a breast augmentation.
Breast Reduction
Many patients with large breasts complain of back and neck pain, as well as deep bra strap grooving. These problems may be the patient's primary concern. The patient may also feel that her breasts are out of proportion to her body. A breast reduction may be performed in order to reduce the size of the breasts, lift the breasts, and create a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. Dr. Griffin offers vertical scar breast reductions as well as the traditional wise-pattern reduction.
