Breast Augmentation in The Bronx, NY

Understanding Breast Augmentation Procedures

Breast augmentation is a premier cosmetic surgery procedure designed to enhance breast appearance and proportion. This surgical intervention allows women to achieve a fuller, more balanced bustline through strategic implant placement.

Implant Types and Options

Patients can select from multiple implant varieties, including:

• Saline implants filled with sterile saltwater
• Silicone gel implants for natural feel
• IDEAL IMPLANT® Structured Breast Implants

Surgical Procedure Details

The breast augmentation procedure typically lasts one to two hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Berger carefully selects incision locations to minimize visible scarring, including options such as:

• Armpit incisions
• Underside breast crease
• Around the areola

Implant Placement Considerations

Placement behind the chest wall muscle offers significant advantages, including reduced capsular contracture risk and improved mammogram examination clarity. Patients can expect some initial discomfort, which typically subsides within days.

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients return to normal activities within a week. Complete healing and final breast shape refinement occur over several months. Surgical scars will gradually fade, becoming less noticeable with time.

Personalized Consultation

Dr. Berger provides comprehensive consultations to determine the most appropriate implant size, type, and placement for individual patient goals and anatomical considerations.
