BREAST AUGMENTATION (Augmentation Mammoplasty)

---

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to enlarge the breasts. Sometimes referred to as breast enhancement or a "boob job" by patients, the procedure adds volume and a more rounded shape to the breasts using either implants or a breast fat transfer which uses material from the patient's own body.

Options for Breast Enhancement

Augmentation mammoplasty is also used to correct or restore breast symmetry after surgery (reconstruction after mastectomy), illness or accident. One of the top breast surgeons in New York, Dr. Weinberg listens carefully to you to understand your breast size and shape goals. Then, to achieve a natural-looking breast augmentation, he will discuss with you:

• Balance and body symmetry between hips and breasts
• Breast projection, including size and shape
• Implant options

There are many excellent implant options, and the doctor will help you decide which type will give you the results you desire. Considerations include the material, shape and texture of breast implants or the necessity of adding a breast lift to tighten skin tissue at the time of surgery.

Breast Augmentation Recovery

Recovery time varies with each patient and depends partly on the procedures you have had. After surgery, our caring and professional staff will send you home with written instructions, pain medication for any discomfort and a special surgical bra. We are always available to discuss concerns.

Post-surgical visits are required after breast augmentation. Patients must keep activity to a minimum until their next scheduled visit. Dr. Weinberg will tell you when it is safe to resume everyday activities. Patients report pleasure and satisfaction with their new look and shape.

New York breast augmentation consultations are scheduled in our Park Avenue office. It is vital to use a board-certified and experienced plastic surgeon to get the best and safest results from breast enhancement surgery. We look forward to meeting you and helping you get the look you have always wanted.
