Indianapolis, Indiana (IN) Breast Augmentation by
Kimberly K. Short, M.D.
Dr. Kimberly Short Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Dr. Kimberly Short’s goal for patients considering breast surgery is to remain as natural as possible. She is a board certified plastic surgeon located in Indianapolis, IN. Whether the patient is undergoing a reduction, lift, or augmentation, it is important to maintain the normal shape of the breast.

The pattern for reductions and lifts is virtually the same, but the end result differs. A mastopexy (breast lift) is intended to lift the current breast tissue, and a breast reduction is when you remove tissue from the breast and then reshape and lift the remaining tissue. She feels it is very important to contour the breasts to appear as natural as possible, so Dr. Short will usually liposuction the outside portion of the breast to achieve this contour.

Her intent with breast augmentations is to give the patient volume without her appearing unnatural. She is able to achieve this look because she takes numerous measurements in order to determine the implant that will be the best for the patient's physique.

Dr. Short often uses an anatomical (tear drop shaped) implant that has more fullness at the bottom and is sloped at the top to avoid the unnatural curvature in the upper portion of the breasts. Her goal is for her patients to appear as natural as possible.
