Advanced Breast Augmentation in Hewlett | Dr. Zachary Gerut

Comprehensive Breast Augmentation Overview

Breast augmentation is an elective, outpatient cosmetic surgery procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, and projection of a woman's breasts. Dr. Zachary Gerut, a renowned Long Island plastic surgeon, has performed thousands of breast augmentation procedures, carefully tailoring each approach to the patient's physical proportions and aesthetic goals.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Enhancement

• Healthy women over 18 years old
• Patients with asymmetrical or tuberous breasts
• Individuals seeking standalone or combined body contouring procedures

Implant Types and Considerations

Dr. Gerut offers three primary breast implant options:

• Saline implants: Filled with sterile salt water after insertion
• Traditional silicone gel implants
• Highly cohesive "gummy bear" silicone implants

Surgical Procedure Details

The breast augmentation procedure is performed in a fully accredited surgical facility, typically lasting approximately 90 minutes. Dr. Gerut typically places implants beneath the pectoral muscle to achieve optimal results, with careful attention to positioning and symmetry.

Surgical Approach

• Performed under general anesthesia
• Incisions made in the armpit or under the breast
• Precise implant placement and positioning
• Closure with absorbable sutures

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect a supportive recovery process, including wearing a specialized bra for several weeks and gradually returning to normal activities. Final results typically emerge between 3-6 months post-procedure, allowing time for implants to settle and swelling to subside.

Important Patient Considerations

• Patients over 40 require a pre-surgical mammogram
• Most patients can breastfeed after augmentation
• Minimum age requirements vary by implant type
