Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation surgery enlarges the size and shape of a patient’s breasts to match her goals. Using his technical skill and an artistic touch, Dr. Schooler can create beautiful, natural-looking results that complement a woman’s figure while enhancing her confidence and sense of femininity.

Breast Augmentation Revision

Breast revision may be indicated if a patient’s original breast augmentation results are not satisfactory, often because a complication has occurred or due to one’s preference for newer, updated implants. The implants may need to be repositioned or removed, or replaced. If excessive scar tissue forms around the implants, firmness can occur (encapsulation), which might require release or removal of scar tissue.

    Breast implants are available in many different sizes, profiles, and fill-materials to enhance the size, shape, and overall balance of your figure. Whether your goal is to restore lost volume, achieve improved symmetry, or simply feel more confident in your silhouette, saline and silicone breast implants offer natural-looking results tailored to your body and aesthetic preferences. With modern implant options and advanced surgical techniques, Santa Barbara patients can enjoy beautifully proportioned, long-lasting results that complement their individual body frame.

  • Breast Lift

    Breast lift surgery, also called Mastopexy, is performed for women whose breasts have begun to droop or sag due to the aging process, pregnancy, childbirth, or significant weight loss. Our plastic surgeon can “lift” the breasts so that they rest higher on the chest wall and are restored to a more youthful appearance. Excess skin is removed so that the breasts are firmer and shapelier. A breast lift is sometimes performed in conjunction with augmentation to create larger breasts with more upper pole fullness.

  • Breast Lift with Augmentation

    Commonly referred to as a breast lift with implants, Dr. Wesley Schooler offers this dynamic combination surgery to achieve the benefits of both a breast lift and a breast augmentation. Using implants to enhance the volume, shape, and projection of the breasts, our plastic surgeon additionally raises the breasts to a more youthful positioning to correct breast sag and provide comprehensive rejuvenation of your breast appearance

  • Breast Reduction

    Women with heavy, pendulous breasts who feel back, shoulder, and neck pain are good candidates for this operation. They may feel embarrassed by large breasts and their participation in sports activities may be limited. Breast reduction surgery can alleviate their discomfort and allow greater mobility. Ladies who undergo breast reduction are some of our most grateful patients.

  • Breast Reconstruction

    For individuals who have had a unilateral or bilateral mastectomy, our plastic surgeons offer breast reconstruction surgery to rebuild as close to a normal breast appearance as possible and restore a patient’s body image. This procedure is designed to lessen the emotional impact of breast cancer removal treatment and may utilize a combination of reconstruction techniques, depending on your unique needs.

Breast Implant Replacement

Breast implant replacement is a common procedure performed for several reasons. Patients often choose replacement to achieve a different size, opting for larger or smaller implants. Those with existing saline implants may switch to silicone gel implants for a more natural feel. Replacement is also recommended for older implants to take advantage of technological improvements, or when implants are damaged due to trauma (such as a motor vehicle accident). Furthermore, deflated saline implants must be either replaced or removed.

Mommy Makeover

A Mommy Makeover is a personalized combination of procedures designed to help women restore their pre-pregnancy figure and confidence. Typically including a tummy tuck, breast augmentation or lift, and liposuction, this transformative treatment addresses the physical changes that often occur after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Each Mommy Makeover is fully tailored to your goals, helping patients feel rejuvenated, balanced, and confident in their body again.
