When it comes to breast surgery, many people immediately think of breast augmentation. While this procedure is indeed popular, it is just one of the many types of cosmetic breast surgeries offered by Dr. Kai Morimoto at KM Plastic Surgery. Whether you want to enhance the symmetry of your breasts, correct a previous surgery, or address functional issues, Dr. Morimoto provides a range of options to help you achieve your goals.

Breast augmentation uses silicone implants and offers a way to achieve your desired breast size and enhance your overall silhouette in Coeur d’Alene. Breast implants come in various shapes and sizes, allowing you to customize your look according to your personal preferences and goals. The benefits of breast augmentation include:
Dr. Morimoto’s extensive experience and training will guide you in selecting the implant that best aligns with your needs and objectives. Modern implants are designed to minimize risks such as leakage and shifting, and they offer a more natural look and feel.
A breast lift, or mastopexy, addresses sagging breasts by repositioning the breast tissue to a higher, more youthful position. This procedure is especially beneficial for women who have experienced changes due to pregnancy or significant weight loss. Often, a breast lift is combined with breast augmentation since a lift alone can sometimes result in a smaller appearance of the breasts and augmentation alone can only address a small amount of sagging and volume loss. This combination can help achieve a fuller, more balanced look.
Over time, you may decide that you want to change the size, shape, or type of your breast implants. If an implant is leaking or if the tissue capsule around the implant becomes hard and problematic, it may need to be replaced. Additionally, if an implant shifts from its original position, it can cause discomfort or an unusual shape. Although breast implants are not designed to last forever, routine annual check-ups can help identify issues early. Generally, implants are recommended to be replaced every ten years, though some patients may wait longer before making a change.
Much like augmentation, breast reduction surgery can be transformative for many Coeur d’Alene women. For some, the weight of their naturally large breasts causes back and neck problems. Decreasing the size of breasts will decrease the weight that is pulling forward, thereby giving relief to overworked upper back muscles. Additionally, breast reduction can correct asymmetry when one breast is larger than the other, enhancing both comfort and appearance.
Tubular breasts are more common than most women realize and are characterized by an elongated and drooping shape, often with nipples facing downward rather than forward. This condition can develop during puberty or later in life and may impact self-confidence. Surgery can correct tubular breasts, transforming them into a more natural, teardrop shape that looks better and fits more comfortably into clothing.
With various procedures available, breast surgery in Coeur d’Alene can address both congenital issues and cosmetic concerns, leading to significant improvements in your appearance and self-esteem.
