Breast Procedures

How you feel about the size and shape of your breasts is highly personal – influenced, it is true, by prevailing social attitudes about beauty and the human form. If you are considering an augmentation, reduction, lift or reconstructive surgery, it is very important to make your decision for reasons that are right for you personally, with realistic expectations about the outcome.


Breast procedures can be cosmetic as well as reconstructive. Surgeries can increase breast size, improve lift and fullness to counter the effects of gravity, improve the shape of uneven (asymmetrical) breasts, reconstruct breasts after cancer surgery or some other disfigurement, and reduce the size of breasts in both women and men. A successful outcome requires a combination of surgical skill and an eye for proportion and symmetry. Dr. Chariker brings both to every breast procedure: His goal is to achieve balance and proportionality, based on the individual patient’s body type and after lengthy consultations with the patient about her or his desired outcome. Dr. Chariker performs most breast surgeries in our state-of-the-art outpatient surgical center.
