Breast

Breast Surgery is one of the most important parts of Dr Tawfik’s practice; encompassing breast lifts, augmentation, reduction and breast reconstructions. 

Dr Tawfik has been working in the development of new techniques for correction of breast deformities. He offers the full range of procedures from fat grafting to the use of dermal matrix substitutes, to implants, to address the most complex deformities.

Breast Augmentation

Most patients will present with a request for breast augmentation due to;

  • Unhappy with the size of their breast; minimal natural development.
  • Unhappy with the shape or size of their breasts, due to sagging, unevenness, shape or positioning of the nipple.

Hormonal influences, the individual structural quality of the tissue, pregnancy and breastfeeding, gravity and personal lifestyle, natural ageing processes, etc. all are huge factors that play a decisive role in this respect. Small or sagging breasts make many women feel unfeminine and incomplete, reducing their self-esteem.

Breast Augmentation is a surgical procedure to increase the size of breasts that are small and underdeveloped, or breasts that have decreased in size after childbearing or weight loss. Breast augmentation can reshape your breasts, improve your appearance and increase your self-confidence.

Implants

Dr Tawfik uses only FDA approved quality implants to achieve the desired size and profile for breast augmentation.  During consultation you will have the opportunity to view and try different range of implants, as recommended by Dr Tawfik.  

Fat Transfer

Natural breast augmentation can also be achieved with your body’s own fat and is ideal for those who desire a natural look with their own tissue. Dr. Tawfik is one of a handful of early pioneers in this new technology that uses the patient’s own fat using WAL TECHNOLOGY to harvest the best quality viable fat animated with stem cells to create a natural filler for breast enhancement.

My Story

What to expect during recovery from natural Breast Augmentation?

A surgical dressing will protect your incisions. You will experience some swelling and bruising for several days after the breast augmentation surgery. When only fat is used, recovery is very quick and aside from some mild bruising, there is very minimal pain. If required, you may be prescribed pain medication to ease any discomfort. After healing, your new breasts will appear natural and enhanced.

Breast Lift

A breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, is a procedure that surgically corrects sagging and drooping of the breasts. A youthful breast position is high on the chest with nipples that align approximately horizontal to the midline of the upper arms. The breast lift eliminates excess skin and tissues and shifts the breast position upward. Ultimately, the procedure allows a woman to revitalize the breasts, restoring their firmness and giving them a more youthful appearance.

There are many reasons why a woman may consider a traditional breast lift, including:

  • Proven Results: A breast lift is the only option for restoring breasts to a youthful and proportional position.
  • Increased Self-Confidence: Various studies have indicated that a breast lift procedure may help women boost their self-esteem through an improved body image.
  • Improved Breast Symmetry: Asymmetrical breasts can be corrected during a breast lift.

A breast lift typically involves an incision around the nipple extending downward to the breast fold and under. Some women are uncomfortable with the idea of a visible breast scar and are dissuaded from undergoing a breast lift because of it.

My Story

Why choose SCARLESS Breast Lift?

Dr Tawfik offers a Scarless Breast Lift Procedure that ensures a woman can reshape and lift the breasts and leave the treated area scarless. The Scarless Breast Lift treatment leverages the newest technology to guarantee a woman can rejuvenate the breasts without having to go under the knife.

A Scarless Breast Lift offers the same benefits as a standard breast lift procedure, but eliminates the need for incisions on the breast. The incisionless breast lift requires no scalpels so there are no scars.

The Scarless Breast Lift is performed under local anaesthetic and patients can go home after the procedure. Patients are instructed to support their breasts for the following 4-6 weeks in a lifted position using athletic tape in order to maximize the effectiveness of the tissue shrinkage. Scarless Breast Lift patients can resume normal activities immediately and resume exercise in approximately one week.

Who is a good candidate for a Scarless Breast Lift?

A scarless Breast Lift procedure represents a great treatment option for women who want to restore breast shape after pregnancy and breastfeeding. A Scarless Breast Lift may also serve as an ideal option for a woman who through the natural aging process has seen her breasts fall and would like a more lifted, perky breast silhouette. For women who have always had asymmetrical breasts, a Scarless Breast Lift may be appropriate for lifting the position of one breast to match the other. During your consultation, Dr. Tawfik will review your desired improvements and determine if a Scarless Breast Lift is the best treatment option for you.

Breast Reduction

Breast reduction alleviates the physical symptoms caused by excessively heavy breasts, and may improve the shape and symmetry of the breasts. Following breast reduction, your breasts will be more proportional to the rest of your body, and clothes will fit you better.

During a private consultation, you will be asked about your desired breast size, as well as anything else about your breasts that you would like to see improved. This will help Dr Tawfik understand your expectations, and determine whether they realistically can be achieved.

Dr Tawfik offers the following Breast Reduction techniques: 

  • The Lollipop technique for Breast Reduction
  • The Breast Liposuction for selected candidates

Breast Reconstruction

During Dr Tawfik’s first OBGYN residency training, he has been involved in the fight to constantly improve the surgical care for woman with breast cancer.   Starting with Oncology surgery training in Tunisia and later in Gustave Roussy Hospital in Paris, throughout his fellowship in breast cancer and reconstruction.   Historically, women usually only had the option of mastectomy or lumpectomy with radiation therapy; few women were choosing breast reconstruction, and hardly never at the time of the mastectomy.

As Dr Tawfik learned the surgery techniques for mastectomies, he saw the importance of removing all the breast tissue necessary to beat the cancer, but was appalled at the deforming results of the surgery. In the early ’90s most reconstruction was performed with tissue expanders as a first stage and then later replaced with breast implants. Throughout the remaining years of the 20th century, tissue flaps such as TRAM flaps, DIEP, SIEA, S-GAP and I-GAP and Latissimus muscle flaps gained popularity and improved the quality of breast reconstruction.

However, it was the advent of the skin sparing mastectomy at the beginning of the millennium, and later the nipple sparing mastectomy, that completely turned things around. Never before had we achieved such excellent results in breast reconstruction as we did after these advances in mastectomies. With this new era in treatment of breast cancer, we were able to perform reconstructions with implants that began to achieve aesthetic results almost as good as our cosmetic procedures. The addition of autologous fat grafting, or liposuction from the patient injected to the reconstructed breast finally led to achieving aesthetic results on par with cosmetic breast augmentation in many patients. Dr Tawfik promotes a I future where the employment of biologically absorbable scaffolds combined with fat grafting that will do away with the need for silicone implants and reconstruct a totally natural looking, and feeling, breast.
