Cosmetic surgery of the breast can help patients achieve a sense of confidence and desired proportions – whether that be from an augmentation or enhancement with an implant, a breast reduction, a breast lift, or a combination of the above. After my plastic surgical training at Stanford, I did further specialization with a breast and cosmetic surgery fellowship. As a female plastic surgeon, many patients trust me for personalized and attentive care. In addition, I am a mother who understands the toll pregnancy and breastfeeding can take on the breasts. My breast surgery patients are referred from all over the Bay Area. It is an area of specialty in my Palo Alto practice.

Many women want to restore their breast (after pregnancy) or simply enhance what they have. Breast implants come in many different sizes, shapes, and profiles. Dr. Greenberg did a breast fellowship in addition to her plastic surgical residency. During your consultation she uses sizers and Vectra 3D imaging to help you visualize your ideal choice. Breast augmentation can be done in a subtle way with a natural feel.

Dr. Greenberg did a breast fellowship in addition to her plastic surgical residency. Following a reduction, patients can see improvement in posture, neck pain, shoulder notching and headaches, in addition to the improvement in finding clothes which fit and being able to exercise. Breast reductions are a particular focus in her practice.
Learn MoreMany women come to Dr. Greenberg to revise prior breast surgery. What is your issue? Too big? Too small? Leakage? Hardening of the breast implant (capsular contracture)? Malposition? Drooping? When doing breast revision surgery, it is an opportunity to make choices. Do you wish to go bigger, smaller, or remove the breast implants altogether? Do you need a lift? Dr. Greenberg did a breast fellowship and revision surgery is a focus of her practice. Come prepared with your prior operation report if you can. Dr. Greenberg will walk you through all of your choices, including an evaluation with Vectra 3D imaging.
Learn MoreThere are many reasons people remove breast implants. Common things I hear are your breasts are bigger than you want them to be (which we see often as women age, particularly around menopause), you are “over it,” the breast implants have turned “hard” (capsular contracture), you are worried the breast implants are causing health symptoms, you have the textured implant shell and want your implants out, your implant position has shifted, or your natural tissue has slid off the implant causing a waterfall or “snoopy” deformity,
This can be a complex surgery. There are many issues to be discussed when you decide to remove the implant. Please read my page on implant removal, where I discuss things like total capsulectomy, en bloc capsulectomy, muscle redraping, if a lift is needed a or not, and what will it look like? This is a time to see a seasoned plastic surgeon with expertise in breast surgery, particularly breast implant revisions. Please bring a copy of your operation report or implant card if available.
