Your Breast Health Journey Starts With the Right Surgeon
Choosing a breast surgeon is a deeply personal decision. For many women, breast concerns are not only about appearance but also about comfort, confidence, and health. Breast surgeons treat both cosmetic and medical breast concerns. Their work often includes cosmetic surgery, reconstruction, and ongoing patient care.
Some patients seek elective surgery to improve appearance, while others need surgical care for health concerns such as breast disease, breast pain, nipple discharge, or breast cancer. No matter the reason, having the right surgeon matters. The right surgeon listens, explains options clearly, and supports you through every step of your breast health journey.
Dr. Houser’s approach focuses on best care, safety, and results that feel right for each patient. His experience working alongside plastic surgeons, reconstructive surgeons, and general surgeons allows him to offer thoughtful, well-planned treatment options.
Understanding Breast Surgery Options
Breast surgery includes a wide range of surgical options designed to address both cosmetic and medical needs. Some procedures focus on improving the appearance of the breast, while others support recovery after breast cancer treatment or address benign breast conditions.
Patients may seek breast care for changes related to aging, weight loss, pregnancy, or genetics. Others may be navigating breast cancer cases and need coordinated care through a cancer center, including breast cancer surgery, radiation therapy, or reconstructive procedures. Understanding all available treatment options helps patients feel informed and confident.
Breast augmentation using a breast implant is usually chosen when a woman would like to increase the size of her breasts or replace lost volume. Implant options include silicone gel or saline.
Breast augmentation is a great way for women to enhance the appearance of the breast while maintaining a natural look and feel. This elective surgery focuses on breast tissue balance, symmetry, and proportion. Dr. Houser works closely with patients to choose implant size, type, and placement that align with their goals.
Breast implant revision / removal is a common choice for women seeking renewed satisfaction with their breasts. Implants can be adjusted, replaced, or removed depending on each patient’s needs.
Over time, breast implants may need adjustment due to changes in the body, personal preferences, or side effects such as discomfort or implant aging. Implant revision allows patients to improve the appearance of the breast or address concerns related to previous surgery.
Breast lifts (mastopexy) are performed to reshape and lift the breasts and can be provided with or without breast implants. Breast lifts almost always include a repositioning of the nipple for the most natural-looking results.
A breast lift focuses on reshaping the breast and improving its position. Many women experience changes after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging that affect breast shape. A mastopexy can restore balance while preserving natural movement and feel. This procedure can be combined with implants or performed alone, depending on treatment goals.
Breast reduction surgery (reduction mammaplasty) reduces the volume of the breast, usually with intention to alleviate such ailments as neck and back pain, shoulder pain and rashes beneath the breasts.
Relief From Physical Discomfort
Breast reduction surgery (reduction mammaplasty) reduces the volume of the breast, usually with intention to alleviate such ailments as neck and back pain, shoulder pain and rashes beneath the breasts.
Breast reduction surgery helps women experiencing physical discomfort related to large breasts. Common breast issues include chronic breast pain, neck strain, and skin irritation. Reducing breast volume can greatly improve daily comfort and quality of life. This procedure addresses both appearance and health concerns, making it one of the most impactful surgical options for many patients.
Breast Reconstruction and Cancer Care
Breast reconstruction can be provided following a lumpectomy or a mastectomy, either at the time of breast surgery or sometime after treatment. Dr. Houser has more than fifteen years of experience providing “Direct to Implant” (DTI) reconstruction, allowing a woman to wake up from her breast surgery with a full reconstruction already in place.
Breast reconstruction surgery plays a vital role in recovery after breast cancer surgery. Many breast cancer patients choose reconstruction to restore appearance and emotional relief following treatment of breast cancer.
Dr. Houser’s background includes working alongside surgical oncology teams, general surgery specialists, and cancer centers throughout the United States. His experience with oncoplastic surgery supports both cancer treatment and reconstructive goals. Breast cancer survival continues to improve, and reconstruction helps many women move forward with strength and gives them the power to feel at home in their own bodies.
Breast Cancer, Diagnosis, and Coordinated Care
Breast surgeons often work closely with specialists in surgical oncology, general surgery, and breast surgical oncology. Diagnosis may involve regular mammograms, magnetic resonance imaging, and evaluation of lymph nodes. In some cases, lymph node removal is part of breast cancer treatment.
Depending on breast cancer risk and survival rate factors, patients may be offered:
- Clinical trials
- Radiation therapy
- Additional treatment options
Fellowship training and advanced training allow surgeons to tailor care of patients facing specific diseases of the breast.
