Breast augmentation is an operation to increase the size and shape of a woman's breast. Many of our patients undergo breast augmentation in New York City in an effort to enhance their body contour, to correct a reduction in breast volume after pregnancy or to balance different sized breasts. Placement of an implant behind the breast allows us to increase a woman's bustline by one or more bra cup sizes. Many of our patients note an increased sense of self confidence and improvement of their appearance after breast augmentation. We always stress to our patients, however, that breast augmentation in New York City should be done for her only and not for her husband or boyfriend. It is your body and the decision for breast augmentation New York City should be yours as well. Expectations for breast augmentation should be healthy and realistic and if so, you may be a good candidate.

Our doctors utilize all of the breast implants available, as shapes of the implants do differ, and offer advantages in some ways and differ from others. We select the breast implant possessing the most appropriate size, shape and texture which best fits the patient anatomy, providing the best possible result and satisfying the desires of our patient. More specific information is available through the manufacturers and our office. Please contact us if you wish to acquire more knowledge about breast implants.

The incisions are made either directly below the nipple, in the crease below the breast, or in the axillary region, depending on the patient's preference and the patient's anatomy. We usually place our saline implants underneath the pectoralis or chest muscle for several reasons. Saline implants in this location give the breast a much more natural appearance, capsular contracture is usually lessened and if it does occur, far less obvious. Nearly all breast tissue may be visualized in mammograms with the implants under the muscle; less so when over the muscle.

Having breast augmentation in New York City is a highly personal operation that is not understood by many people. One should never forget that it is your feelings and justifications that are most important in this regard. If the surgical goals have been met, then your surgery was a success.
