Procedures We Offer
Michigan Cosmetic Surgery offers breast procedures designed to meet your unique aesthetic and functional needs. Our approach is to provide tailored solutions, from enhancing volume and shape with breast augmentation to lifting and correcting asymmetry.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is performed to improve the fullness, shape, and contours of the breasts. People who are concerned about their breasts’ appearance after aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss can undergo breast augmentation to restore a younger and fuller look.
Breast augmentation adds volume to the breasts, helping you achieve your dream curves.
Whether through breast implants or a fat transfer, you can achieve the bust size you desire, all while eliminating unwanted “bra fat,” ensuring a lovely contour.
Breast Lift
Causes of sagging breasts include aging, collagen, and estrogen deficiency, and multiple pregnancies. Advancements in surgical procedures mean that you don’t have to be stuck with accepting this issue. For women who are satisfied with the size of their breasts but not necessarily the shape/perkiness, we recommend a breast lift. This surgery can address sagging, drooping, excess skin, and even issues with the nipple and areola.
Breast Augmentation with Lift
A breast augmentation with lift combines a breast augmentation and a breast lift into a single surgical procedure. This pairing enhances breast volume and projection, reduces sagging, and improves perkiness. It’s an excellent option for people who desire to have more extensive and youthful-looking breasts.
Breast Asymmetry
With the help of breast asymmetry correction, we can give the breasts a more symmetrical appearance. There are several ways to correct asymmetrical breasts, whether through adding volume or by reducing volume. There are times when a breast lift will be recommended to address breast shape asymmetries. Our practice provides a full range of options.
Breast Reduction
Larger breasts may be a blessing to some but a curse to the lower back. People who are physically active and into sports may also find performing to their full potential difficult. In these cases, a breast reduction can be performed. Breast reduction can be a lifesaver to women who deal with chronic rashes and skin irritation, neck and back pain, or difficulty finding clothing that fits properly.
Choosing the Right Procedure
Dr. Mariam Awada, a board-certified plastic surgeon, will help you choose the right breast procedure during your initial consultation. During this time, Dr. Awada will discuss your goals, review your medical history, and conduct a physical examination to determine the best approach. She will also offer other options, visualize potential outcomes, and tailor the procedure plan to your needs and health profile.
This comprehensive consultation is designed to address all your concerns so that you are well-informed, confident, and comfortable with your decision to proceed with surgery.
The Procedure Process
After the consultation, the patient and the surgical team will follow a standard procedure process:
Preparation
Patients will receive detailed instructions on how to prepare for the procedure. This includes guidelines on nutrition, medications, smoking cessation, and what to avoid in the days leading up to the surgery. Patients should understand all pre-operative measures to minimize risks and facilitate a smooth surgical experience.
Procedure
On the day of the surgery, Dr. Awada and her surgical team will perform the procedure, from the administration of anesthesia to the surgical modifications and final suturing. Dr. Awada’s technique is tailored to achieve aesthetic enhancements and minimize discomfort and scarring.
Recovery and Aftercare
After the procedure, Dr. Awada will provide comprehensive follow-up care to monitor recovery. This includes post-operative visits, pain management strategies, and personalized advice on wound care, activity level, and any symptoms patients might experience.
Dr. Awada and her team are available to answer patients’ questions during the recovery period, providing support every step of the way for optimal healing and satisfaction.
Risks and Complications
As with any surgical procedure, breast surgeries come with potential risks and complications, including:
- Capsular Contracture: This occurs when the scar tissue that naturally forms around the implant tightens and squeezes the implant, making it feel firm or distorted.
- Implant Rupture or Leakage: A saline implant rupture will be noticeable almost immediately due to the deflation of the implant, while silicone ruptures are often called “silent” because they may not cause noticeable symptoms and might only be detected by imaging tests.
- Infection and Poor Healing: Poor healing of the incision sites can occur, which may result in conspicuous scars or other aesthetic issues. This risk is higher among smokers and those with certain medical conditions.
Dr. Awada is committed to patient education, discussing all possible risks to ensure informed decisions are made.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between saline and silicone implants?
Saline implants are filled with sterile salt water, typically inserted empty, and then filled once in place. This allows for a smaller incision. Silicone implants are pre-filled with a silicone gel that feels more like natural breast tissue. Both types have specific benefits: saline implants provide a uniform shape and firmness, while silicone implants offer a more natural feel.
How long do breast implants last?
Breast implants don’t have an expiration date, but they are not considered lifetime devices. The average lifespan of breast implants is 10 to 20 years. However, many implants last longer without issues, while others may need replacement or removal sooner due to complications or aesthetic concerns.
What should I expect during the recovery period after breast augmentation?
You can expect soreness, swelling, and bruising for a few weeks. Most patients can return to work and light activities within a week, but strenuous activities should be avoided for about 4-6 weeks.
How does pregnancy affect breast implants?
Pregnancy can change the size and shape of the breasts, whether you have implants or not. These changes might affect the appearance of your breast implants, potentially leading to sagging or asymmetry. It’s important to discuss future pregnancy plans with Dr. Awada during the decision-making process for breast augmentation.
How visible will the scars be after surgery?
Dr. Awada will place incisions in less visible areas like under the breast fold, around the areola, or under the arm to minimize visible scarring. Over time, most scars will fade and become less noticeable.
