Breast Procedures We Offer
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast volume and improves overall contour. Patients often choose augmentation to:
-
Add fullness
-
Improve proportion with the waist and hips
-
Restore volume after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight changes
-
Improve mild asymmetry
Implants are selected based on your anatomy and goals, including size, shape, profile, and placement to support balanced, natural-looking results.
Breast Lift
A breast lift reshapes and elevates the breasts by addressing sagging and improving breast position. A lift may be a good fit if you want:
-
A higher, firmer breast position
-
Improved nipple position
-
A more youthful breast silhouette
-
Better contour in and out of clothing
A lift improves position and shape. If added volume is also a goal, augmentation can be considered as part of a combined plan.
Breast Reduction and Lift
A breast reduction and lift decreases breast size while also improving shape and position. This option is often chosen by patients who want:
-
Smaller, lighter, more proportional breasts
-
Improved breast shape and lift
-
Relief from heaviness and bra-fit issues
-
Easier comfort with activity and clothing
Dr. Rockwell tailors the amount of reduction to maintain proportion while creating a lifted, balanced contour.
Revision Breast Augmentation
Revision breast augmentation is performed when a patient wants to change implant size or type, or when implants require correction over time due to changes in the breast, implant position, or scar tissue. Revision may include:
-
Implant exchange (larger, smaller, or different type)
-
Implant repositioning for improved symmetry and contour
-
Capsular resection when scar tissue around the implant requires surgical correction
-
Lift combined with revision when reshaping and support are needed
Dr. Rockwell reviews implant history, current anatomy, and goals to recommend the safest, most effective revision approach.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for breast surgery if you:
-
Are in good general health
-
Have stable weight and realistic expectations
-
Want improvement in breast size, shape, symmetry, or position
A consultation with Dr. Gloria Rockwell is the best way to confirm candidacy and select the right procedure.
Your Consultation Experience
A consultation is focused on clarity, education, and a plan tailored to your goals. Dr. Rockwell will discuss:

Surgical options and what each can realistically achieve

Incision placement and scar expectations

What to Expect From Recovery
Recovery depends on the procedure and whether procedures are combined. Patients generally experience:
-
Temporary swelling and tightness early in healing
-
A gradual return to activity with lifting and exercise restrictions
-
Follow-up visits to monitor healing and results progression
Detailed post-operative instructions are provided to support comfort, healing, and the best outcome.

Breast Surgery FAQs
Will I have scars?
All breast surgery involves incisions. Dr. Rockwell plans incision placement carefully and provides scar-care guidance to support optimal healing.
Can a breast lift be combined with implants?
Yes. A combined plan can be appropriate when both improved position and added fullness are desired.
How do I choose the right implant size?
Size selection is based on your anatomy, tissue characteristics, and aesthetic goals. We’ll guide you through options to achieve the look you want while maintaining proportion and support.
How long do implants last?
Implants are long-lasting, but not considered “lifetime devices.” Some patients choose future revision due to preference changes or natural tissue changes over time.
When will I see final results?
Early improvement is visible, but swelling and settling take time. Final shape refines over weeks to months depending on the procedure.
