Your breast size and shape can have a big impact on your daily life. It affects how your clothes fit and how you feel about your appearance. Overly large breasts can cause shoulder and back pain. If you’re unhappy with your silhouette or experience discomfort, the board-certified plastic surgeons at Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN) can work with you to select the best breast procedure for your needs.

Breasts can have an impact on your health and how you feel about yourself. Large breasts can cause shoulder and back pain and prevent the ability to exercise comfortably. Small breasts can inhibit the way your clothes fit. If you’ve had breast cancer and a mastectomy, you may need breast reconstruction. There are also benign disorders of the breast that may call for surgery.

Breast Surgery FAQs
LVHN's breast surgeons are board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and have advanced training and experience performing breast surgeries.
Breast lift surgery, also known as mastopexy, raises the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to help the breasts look more youthful.
Also known as reduction mammaplasty, breast reduction surgery involves removing fat, breast tissue and skin from the breasts. This may be accomplished with surgery through incisions or with liposuction.
