As a Consultant Breast Oncoplastic and Cosmetic Surgeon, Dr. Khout possesses a unique skill set. The same principles of precision, attention to detail, and focus on optimal long-term aesthetics used in cancer and reconstructive surgery are directly applied to cosmetic procedures. This dual expertise ensures that cosmetic enhancements are performed with the highest standards of safety, anatomical understanding, and artistic contouring, resulting in beautiful, balanced, and natural-looking outcomes.
Breast Augmentation is performed to increase the size, improve the shape, and enhance the fullness of the breasts. Dr. Khout employs personalized surgical techniques, considering factors like the patient’s frame, skin elasticity, existing breast tissue, and desired outcome to select the ideal implant type (saline or silicone), shape (round or anatomical), and placement (above or below the muscle). The goal is always a natural enhancement that is in harmony with the rest of the body.
This procedure is performed for women whose breasts are disproportionately large, causing physical discomfort such as chronic back, neck, or shoulder pain, poor posture, or skin irritation. Breast reduction removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a size that is more proportionate to the body, alleviating physical symptoms and enhancing quality of life.
Breast uplift, or mastopexy, addresses concerns regarding breast ptosis (sagging), which can occur due due to factors like aging, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or genetics. This procedure raises the breasts by removing excess skin, tightening the surrounding tissue, and repositioning the nipple and areola to a higher, more youthful position. Mastopexy can be performed alone or in combination with augmentation (implants) to restore both lift and volume.
Dr. Khout specializes in refining and correcting previous surgical outcomes:
This encompasses procedures necessary to correct issues that may arise years after initial surgery, such as capsular contracture (scar tissue tightening around an implant), implant shifting, rippling, or simply the desire to change implant size or type.
Surgical scars, whether from cosmetic procedures or previous treatments, can sometimes be conspicuous. Dr. Khout offers techniques to minimize the appearance of noticeable scars, including surgical revision and non-surgical treatments, to achieve a smoother, less visible result.
Specific procedures focus on the final aesthetics of the breast mound:
Inverted nipples can be a source of discomfort or aesthetic concern. This procedure gently corrects the inversion, bringing the nipple to a more outward projection while aiming to preserve the ability to breastfeed, though this depends on the degree of inversion.
Choosing a surgeon with specific training in both oncoplastic and cosmetic surgery ensures you are receiving care from someone who is deeply familiar with the intricate anatomy of the breast. Dr. Khout's approach emphasizes meticulous planning and execution to deliver superior aesthetic results that last.
