Breast Augmentation (Enlargement)
Breast augmentation can dramatically improve a
woman's self image and confidence. Through modern techniques, a natural
look can be obtained with larger sized augmentations. The procedure takes
approximately one and a half hours, requires only a few days to recover,
and has only mild discomfort.
Dr. Dorner performs the operation through
incisions placed under the breast, around the areola, and in the axilla
(arm pit). His results are outstanding with careful attention to size,
shape, and symmetry. Using modern implants with specialized shapes, Dr.
Dorner will custom tailor your augmentation.
If you’ve ever been dissatisfied with your breast
size, there is no better time to take the first step toward a new you! |
