If you’re not familiar with plastic surgery, allow me to break down the procedures for you.


What is A Breast Augmentation Surgery?

A Breast augmentation is one of the most common plastic surgeries in the United States and remains a top choice at The Centre, P.C. Patients choose to go through a breast augmentation for a variety of reasons. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons a, “Breast augmentation, sometimes referred to as a “breast aug” or “boob job” by patients, involves using breast implants or fat transfer to increase the size of breasts. This procedure can also restore breast volume lost after weight reduction or pregnancy, achieve a more rounded breast shape or improve natural breast size asymmetry.” The benefits of this specific type of plastic surgery done at The Centre, P.C. Mishawaka, IN are increased fullness of the breasts, restoring balance, and enhancing a patients self image. 

Not all surgeons are the same. One thing patients need to be aware of before making the final decision to go through plastic surgery of any kind, is to make sure that the surgeon they elect is a board-certified plastic surgeon. Patients should also research the before and after photos, so the patients know what they can expect. The key to stunning results is picking a board-certified plastic surgeon who have proven their ability to deliver subtle natural-looking results according to their patients anatomy and aesthetic goals.


Mommy Makeovers

A Mommy Makeover is another common plastic surgery that includes a combination of plastic surgery procedures. It is designed to address the physical changes that often remain after pregnancy and childbirth. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, “The goal of a Mommy Makeover is to restore the shape and appearance of a woman’s body after childbearing. Many women notice changes in their bodies post-pregnancy. There are many areas of the body that can be addressed, most commonly the breasts, abdomen, waist, genitalia and buttocks. A mommy makeover is typically performed as a single-stage procedure.” Some of the benefits of a Mommy Makeover are sculpted curves, restored confidence, and restored balance. 


Breast Reduction Surgery

The third most common plastic surgery is a breast reduction, also known as a reduction mammoplasty. It is one of the most physically and emotionally transformative plastic surgery procedures offered at The Centre, P.C. A breast reduction can help patients feel strong, confident, and elegant by restoring balance & easing neck and back pain. A breast reduction can also make it easier to breathe and exercise and it can help restore confidence. Many patients feel lighter in their daily activities, they look forward to dressing up for the day, and feel more at ease in their bodies. For many, breast reduction surgery is not just cosmetic — it’s life-changing.

A Patient-Focused Approach to Plastic Surgery

At The Centre, P.C., plastic surgery is never one-size-fits-all. Each consultation is designed to educate patients, answer questions, and create a treatment plan tailored to individual goals and anatomy. The focus is always on patient experience, restoring balance, and to deliver results that feel authentic to the patient.

Plastic surgery today is about refinement, restoration, and long-term satisfaction — not trends or extremes.
