DR MICHELE D KOO, MD, FACS is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and a Member of the Aesthetic Society located in St Louis, Missouri. She is an expert on breast lift and breast augmentation surgery in the United States and especially in St Louis, Kansas City, Columbia, and Springfield, MO and throughout the midwest.

Dr Koo is often asked by her patients what can be done about their breasts after childbirth, weight loss, or breast feeding.

After weight loss, just as after breast feeding, the breast volume decreases but the amount of skin most often stays the same. Therefore, the breast skin sags and the breasts are smaller and without any remaining fullness. The breasts also may lose shape. Many women experience this after breast feeding when the breasts become very full and the skin stretches.  After breast feeding just like after weight loss, the breasts lose volume and the skin sags.

Dr Michele Koo who specializes in returning breasts to a natural full shape and position can help you feel better about yourself.  She will perform a breast lift (mastopexy) alone or a combination surgery of a breast lift (mastopexy) and breast augmentation (breast implant) to achieve the perfect results for her patients.

Depending on how much weight loss or loss of volume of breasts one experiences, most women will need either a breast lift (mastopexy) alone, a breast augmentation (implant) alone, or a breast lift (mastopexy) with breast implants (breast augmentation) to regain  the sexy full breasts with nice full cleavage. Some of Dr Koo’s patients will experience significant change in shape of their breasts with only a 5 lb weight loss some will not experience significant change in shape until they have lost at least 20 or more pounds.  

Dr Michele Koo approaches the breasts with the patients’ goals in mind of whether they wish to just have their breasts lifted back into position so that the nipple is not pointing downward or whether they wish to have a little fullness in the upper portion of their breasts with some cleavage. If the latter is their goal then certainly a breast augmentation (breast implant) is absolutely necessary.  

Dr Michele Koo performs the breast lift (mastopexy) and breast enhancement in one surgery which takes  approximately 1 ½ to 2 hours and the recovery is minimal. It is an outpatient surgery under general anesthesia and her patients return to driving the next day and an office occupation in 1-2 days but wait approximately 2 weeks before any kind of a cardiovascular workout.  

Dr Koo gives her patients the option of saline or silicone breast implants and they make the decision together taking into account the patients’ level of comfort with the types of breast implants and their age.

Dr Koo, St Louis, MO will recommend the different types of profile of breast implants depending on the patients’ anatomy and ultimate cosmetic desires. She makes the recommendation for the location of the incision, type of breast implant, and the exact nature of the surgery depending on what her patient wants her breasts to ultimately look like.

If the patients’ breasts only have to be lifted very slightly, a breast implant alone will achieve the breast lift (mastopexy) and breast augmentation (enhancement) with a minimal incision. If the breasts have to be lifted a significant distance then that determines the length of the scar. Dr Koo only creates the smallest incision possible given how much re-shaping she has to achieve and what the patients’ desires are.

A breast augmentation with or without a breast lift is a very frequently requested and performed procedure by Dr Michele Koo and she will make you feel extremely comfortable with all your questions and concerns. Dr Koo feels that this is a very common and very safe procedure which she performs on a regular basis and these patients are some of her absolutely most satisfied patients.
