Vectra 3D Imaging: Included with Every Consultation

Every breast consultation with Dr. Walding includes a Vectra 3D Imaging Analysis, a state-of-the-art system that helps patients visualize their potential results before surgery. Using high-resolution 3D photography and simulation software, the Vectra system creates a digital model of your chest to show how different implant sizes, shapes, or lift options would look on your body.

This allows you and Dr. Walding to collaborate in designing a result that complements your frame and aesthetic preferences. The Vectra analysis is included with your consultation at no additional cost, giving you confidence and clarity when making surgical decisions.

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation enhances the size, shape, and projection of the breasts using either silicone or saline implants. Dr. Walding customizes every augmentation to achieve a balanced and natural look that fits your body’s proportions.

During your consultation, you’ll use the Vectra 3D imaging system to preview how various implant types and sizes would look on your body, helping guide your decision with precision and confidence.

Breast Lift with Implants (Augmentation Mastopexy)

A breast lift with implants—also known as an augmentation mastopexy—combines the lifting and tightening effects of a breast lift with the volume enhancement of an implant. This procedure is ideal for patients who want to correct sagging while also restoring or adding fullness to the upper breast.

During surgery, Dr. Walding removes excess skin, repositions the breast tissue and nipple to a more youthful height, and places an implant to enhance volume and contour. The result is lifted, fuller, and more youthful breasts with improved shape and symmetry.

This combined approach is especially beneficial after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss, when both volume loss and sagging occur together.

Implant Exchange

Over time, some patients choose to replace their implants for cosmetic or medical reasons. Implant exchange allows you to update the size, shape, or type of implant—or address issues such as rippling, asymmetry, or capsular contracture.

Dr. Walding carefully evaluates your anatomy, breast tissue, and goals to create an individualized surgical plan. Many patients also use this opportunity to refresh their results with newer implant technology or combine the exchange with a lift for enhanced rejuvenation.

Breast Revision Surgery (Including Capsulectomy, Capsulotomy, and Capsulorrhaphy)

Breast revision surgery is designed to correct complications or dissatisfaction from previous breast surgeries. Common reasons for revision include implant malposition, hardening (capsular contracture), asymmetry, or changes in breast shape over time.

Dr. Walding specializes in revision procedures, including:

• Capsulectomy: Removal of the capsule of scar tissue surrounding an implant, often performed when the capsule has hardened or contracted.
• Capsulotomy: Surgical release or scoring of the capsule to soften it and allow the implant to move more naturally.
• Capsulorrhaphy: Tightening or repositioning the capsule to correct implant displacement or improve symmetry.

Each revision is carefully tailored to restore a natural, comfortable appearance while addressing the underlying cause of the issue. Dr. Walding’s expertise ensures precise correction and aesthetically balanced results.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

A breast lift restores firmness and a youthful position to breasts that have lost elasticity over time. By removing excess skin and reshaping the breast tissue, Dr. Walding repositions the nipple and improves overall contour for a natural, rejuvenated appearance.

This procedure can be performed alone or combined with augmentation or revision, depending on your goals.

Implant Removal (Explant) Surgery

For patients who wish to remove their implants, breast explant surgery provides a safe, refined option. Dr. Walding performs explant procedures for medical reasons, lifestyle changes, or personal preference.

When appropriate, he may combine an explant with a breast lift to restore shape and firmness after implant removal. His focus is always on achieving natural, proportionate results that align with your body and goals.
