The Waldorf Center philosophy is that no two patients are the same, which is why Dr. Kathleen Waldorf, Dr. Rachel Streu, and Dr. Heidi Johng offer a wide range of plastic surgery options at the Portland-based practice. Some people want to address aging-related changes to their face, while others prefer to focus on their body contours and silhouette.
Considering plastic surgery for yourself? Here is a basic overview of the main options available at The Waldorf Center.
Breast Surgery
The most popular plastic surgery procedures in the country—and at our practice—are breast augmentations, which increase the size of the breasts and alter the chest’s shape and proportions. Other breast-related options include lifts to elevate sagging breasts higher on the chest, reductions to take away volume and provide relief from strain, and revisions to alter the results of prior augmentation surgeries. Gynecomastia surgery is also available to reduce breast tissue that men may develop, in order to sculpt a more traditionally masculine-looking chest.
Body Surgery
Surgical fat reduction, known as liposuction, remains a popular procedure for its versatility, since it can be used all over the body, from a bulging belly to a double chin. It can also be part of other procedures, including a tummy tuck to flatten the belly. Other body contouring options include arm lifts, lower body lifts, and thigh lifts, all of which tighten lax skin for a slimmer and sleeker appearance. Many of these procedures can be combined into a Mommy Makeover, intended for patients who have had a baby in the past and would like to regain their pre-pregnancy contours.
Face Surgery
Sagging tissue on the face can create an aged appearance, which is why many procedures focus on tightening lax tissue, including facelifts, brow lifts, blepharoplasties for the eyelids. Other face surgery options include rhinoplasty to adjust the size, shape, and proportions of the nose, ear surgery to accomplish the same changes for the ears, fat grafting to add natural volume where needed to create a more youthful look, and cheek or chin augmentation to give these features more definition and prominence.
Another category of surgery options—reconstructive surgery—focuses on helping patients to restore the form and function of various features that have been damaged by trauma, surgery, or other problems. Breast reconstruction, cleft lip and palate repair, and closing of post-skin cancer surgery defects all fall under the reconstructive umbrella.
