Advanced Breast Augmentation in Great Neck | Dr. Lawrence Lin, MD

Understanding Breast Augmentation Surgery

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the appearance of breasts through carefully selected saline or silicone implants. The procedure helps women achieve improved breast size, shape, and symmetry.

Types of Breast Implants

Two primary implant options are available for breast augmentation:

• Saline Implants:
• Silicone Implants:

Ideal Candidates for Breast Augmentation

Women may be suitable candidates for breast augmentation if they:

• Have naturally small breasts
• Experienced breast volume loss from pregnancy or weight changes
• Want to balance breast shape and size
• Are non-smokers in good overall health
• Maintain realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Surgical Procedure Details

Breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes between one to two hours. Dr. Lawrence Lin carefully selects incision locations and precisely positions implants either beneath or above the chest muscle.

Recovery and Expectations

Post-surgical recovery involves managing temporary soreness, potential swelling, and limited physical activity. Most patients can return to normal activities within several days, with full healing occurring over subsequent weeks.

Important Considerations

Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape but does not correct significant sagging. Patients seeking to address breast ptosis may require a complementary breast lift procedure.
