a decrease in breast tissue elasticity due to genetics, pregnancy and/or time can result in a loss of the youthful position. depending on the degree of ptosis or descent, various methods of lifting may be available. often augmentation with either synthetic implants such as saline or silicone or one's own fat used to fill up the breast can result in an acceptable lift.

traditional options for breast enlargement include saline and silicone implants, "gummy bear" cohesive-gel implants and autologous fat transfer. saline: saline implants may be inserted through truly tiny openings as the shell of the implant is placed in the breast while it is deflated and then it is inflated with saline.

sclerotherapy is a proven medical treatment used to eliminate leg veins. tiny needles are used to inject an fda approved sclerosing substance into undesirable veins. at milfordmd we no longer use hypertonic saline as a sclerosant because there are more effective, more comfortable options.
