Breast in Philadelphia

Breast augmentations enhance the volume, shape, and fullness of the breasts, often after weight loss, pregnancy, nursing, or long-term aesthetic dissatisfaction. Dr. Malphrus offers implant-based breast augmentations and fat transfer procedures, known as a natural breast augmentation. Her work can help correct asymmetry, improve silhouette, and create balance between the upper and lower body.

In a breast lift, Dr. Malphrus restores a more youthful, elevated position to the breasts by removing excess tissue and reshaping your natural contour. You may also include an augmentation with your lift to enhance your overall breast shape. Many of our Bryn Mawr patients opt for a breast lift after pregnancy, helping improve their confidence during motherhood.

In a breast augmentation with lift, Dr. Malphrus simultaneously restores youthful volume and elevates sagging tissue to reshape your entire breast profile. This comprehensive approach combines the lifting power of a mastopexy with the customizable fullness of an implant or fat transfer.

Breast reductions are designed for patients with overly large or heavy breasts, helping relieve physical and emotional frustrations. By removing excess breast tissue, Dr. Malphrus can help alleviate neck, shoulder, and back pain, improve your posture, and create a better fit in tight or low-cut tops. Her work focuses on restoring a more natural-looking shape to your chest to keep your frame proportionate and aligned with your lifestyle.

Whether you’re due for an implant replacement, wish to switch to a new implant, or want to remove your implants entirely, Dr. Malphrus can restore your frame to suit your aesthetic desires. Each implant removal or exchange is carefully planned to maintain a natural look that suits your frame. During your consultation, Dr. Malphrus will identify the root cause of your desire to remove or replace your implants, and you’ll work together to decide on a new silhouette that makes you feel comfortable and confident.

In a capsulectomy, Dr. Malphrus removes the scar tissue surrounding a breast implant, known as a capsule. Typically, this is done to address complications with the implant capsule, such as contracture or breast texture changes. Capsulectomies are always performed alongside a breast implant removal to ensure the breasts look and feel natural in their new state.

In a breast implant exchange, Dr. Malphrus replaces your existing breast implants with new ones to refresh your look, update your size, or change the implant type. This customizable procedure allows you to switch between saline and silicone, adjust your dimensions, or address changes in your body over time. 

A revision breast surgery addresses functional and aesthetic concerns after a previous breast procedure. Most often, revision breast surgery is used to correct implant malpositioning or asymmetry, though some use it to create additional lift or further reduce breast size after an unsatisfactory procedure. No two breast revision procedures are the same, and your surgical plan will be tailored to your aesthetic and medical needs.

In natural breast augmentation via fat grafting, Dr. Malphrus harvests fat from one area of your body and transfers it to your breasts to enhance fullness. This advanced technique avoids synthetic implants entirely, using your own living tissue to achieve a subtle, highly authentic enhancement.

Nipple correction procedures, sometimes simply called nipple surgery, are designed to address poor positioning, asymmetry, inversions, and projection of the nipples, creating a more natural-looking and balanced appearance. These are quick procedures that result in less recovery time and well-hidden scars around and within the areola. Many patients undergo nipple correction as part of breast revision surgery, but some opt for nipple correction on their natural breasts.

Gynecomastia is a condition in which men develop excess tissue in their chests, creating the appearance of flat, sagging breasts. In this procedure, Dr. Malphrus restores a more masculine chest contour by removing excess tissue, tightening the remaining skin, and performing liposuction to reduce stubborn fat. She tailors every procedure to your unique needs, ensuring balanced proportions along the torso and restored confidence.

Gender-affirming breast surgery, also known as top surgery, supports transgender patients in living authentically as themselves. This procedure helps align your physical appearance with your gender identity, removing breast tissue to create a flat, smooth, and contoured chest. Dr. Malphrus takes her role incredibly seriously and will review your surgical plan with you ahead of time to ensure your intended results match your vision.

Breast implant illness (BII) is a set of chronic symptoms that many patients believe are related to their implants. Every patient experiences BII differently, and potential symptoms include everything from anxiety, depression, and brain fog to rashes, hair loss, and gastrointestinal upset. In most cases, patients treat their BII with implant replacement or removal. During your consultation, Dr. Malphrus will listen to your symptoms and help you develop a care plan to relieve your symptoms and restore comfort after implant surgery.

In an explant and capsulectomy procedure, Dr. Malphrus focuses on surgically removing your breast implants alongside the surrounding scar tissue to address chronic health concerns. This comprehensive surgery aims to clear out all foreign materials by precisely excising the internal capsule that forms around the device. Many of our Bryn Mawr patients choose this meticulous approach to target the underlying source of their systemic issues, helping them detoxify their bodies, restore long-term wellness, and regain physical comfort.
