(firmenpresse) - BALTIMORE, MD -- (Marketwired) -- 12/02/14 -- Over time, breasts can begin to lose their youthful appearance, due to the effects of gravity, says James E. Vogel, MD. The Baltimore-based notes that childbirth and lactation can cause a loss of volume in the breasts, as well. To improve the appearance of the breasts, Dr. Vogel performs surgery.

During the recovery period, Dr. Vogel provides his patients with important aftercare instructions, including how to use silicone sheeting to help reduce the appearance of scars.

He also reminds patients, "Although there's no way to avoid the fact that gravity will inevitably take its toll yet again, they will always look better having had the procedure in spite of this."
