Breast Augmentation New York, NY | Gary S. Berger MD FACS

Understanding Breast Augmentation in Manhattan

Breast augmentation is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic surgery procedures in the United States. This transformative procedure helps women achieve a fuller, more proportionate bustline by strategically placing implants beneath breast tissue or chest wall muscle.

Implant Options and Techniques

Gary S. Berger MD FACS offers comprehensive breast augmentation options, including three primary implant types:

• Saline implants
• Traditional silicone gel implants
• IDEAL IMPLANT® Structured Breast Implants

Advanced Implant Technology

The IDEAL IMPLANT® represents a breakthrough in breast augmentation technology. This innovative implant combines the safety of saline with the natural feel of silicone, featuring an internal structured design that provides superior stability and aesthetic results.

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, with options including:

• Armpit incisions
• Underneath breast crease
• Around the areola

Implant Placement Considerations

Dr. Berger recommends placing implants behind the chest wall muscle, which offers advantages such as reduced capsular contracture risk and improved mammogram examination clarity. Patients can expect some initial discomfort, which typically resolves within a few days.

Recovery and Results

Most patients return to work within a week, with complete healing and final breast shape developing over several months. Surgical stitches are removed within 7-10 days, and post-operative swelling gradually subsides.
