While many women pursue breast enlargement surgery and breast augmentation procedures to improve their figure, many find the ‘implants look’ to be unnatural and can have difficulty adjusting to the size and shape after surgery.

Los Angeles plastic surgeon W. Grant Stevens, MD offers an alternative to conventional surgery with the LaserBra; the procedure is designed to lift and reshape the breasts for more aesthetically-appealing results, and may be a valuable solution for many women who want to achieve a more natural look with a breast reduction procedure.  

Marina Plastic Surgery Associates, a plastic surgery center in California presents the Laser Bra for Breast Augmentation, a combination of light surgery and laser correction to enhance the breasts permanently. Instead of creating the unnatural-looking results of implants, the laser and surgery combination helps sculpt the chest area for a smoother silhouette.    

Key Benefits of the LaserBra Procedure

The LaserBra breast reduction and enhancement procedure can help to:

• Improve the firmness of the breasts
• Realign and correct asymmetrical breasts
• Tighten and tone the chest area for a more natural look
• Lift the breasts to a more desirable area of the chest without looking artificial
• Lift both the nipple and areola complex for a natural appearance  

How LaserBra Surgery Works

Dr. Stevens, the lead surgeon who performs the LaserBra procedure at Marina Plastic Surgery Associates, works on the tissues under the breasts to create an ‘internal bra.’ This ‘bra’ is attached to the chest wall to hold up the breast tissue and create a smooth silhouette; this is completed with a combination of incisions and laser therapy. The laser is administered to remove the top layers of the skin, and adrenaline is injected into the breasts to make them swell.  The surgeon then creates an incision to begin manipulating the tissues and create the ‘laser bra.’ Sutures are added to close the incision, and the nipples are then re-attached in the desired location. This tissue manipulation helps create a lasting, more natural look so that the patient is not simply having extra tissue removed from the breast area.  

Who Is a Good Candidate for the LaserBra Procedure?

Good candidates for the LaserBra procedure include women who:

• Experience pain from sagging or oversized breasts
• Have difficulty buying clothes that fit Are experiencing back pain or postural problems because of excess breast tissue
• Desire a more balanced and sculpted look    

Age, lifestyle and posture habits can all contribute to sagging or drooping breasts, and when the skin begins to lose elasticity and firmness, the effects become even more pronounced. The LaserBra procedure is just one of several innovative breast augmentation and breast enhancement solutions available for women who want to improve their silhouette, tighten and tone the chest area, and enjoy the results of a push up – without a bra.
