According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, breast augmentation is the top cosmetic surgery performed today. Having performed breast implant surgery for over 20 years, I understand that this is a big decision for a woman. I also know how much it means to each of my patients to achieve the results she wants, and I am pleased that I can help achieve these positive outcomes. For more information on breast augmentation, download our free fact sheet!

Top 10 reasons women get breast implants

There are a variety of reasons why women want larger, fuller breasts. If you’re considering getting breast implants, here are some of the most common reasons women decide to have breast augmentation surgery so that you are more able to make an informed decision. 

For women who want larger, fuller breasts, breast implants are a safe, highly successful way to get the breast size they’ve always wanted. 

I offer three types of breast implants, all of them safe

1. Silicone breast implants—filled with silicone gel.
2. Saline breast implants—filled with saline (sterile saltwater).
3. Natrelle® gummy breast implants—filled with silicone gel. Choose from five profiles (low to extra full), four degrees of fullness (minimal to maximum) and three levels of cohesivity (gumminess).

Most women—and most plastic surgeons, myself included—prefer the look and feel of silicone implants rather than saline. Silicone implants are generally considered to look and feel more like real breast tissue, while saline implants are more prone to cause rippling of the skin. Women are also reporting high satisfaction rates with the new gummy versions because they can choose the size and shape of their implants for a more customized, unique look.

Have you always wanted a round, firm butt? Have you tried exercise and supportive garments but are not getting the results you desire? A Brazilian butt lift, which uses your own fat and includes both butt augmentation and butt reshaping, is an excellent way to achieve a fuller, firmer, more shapely derrière. It also can help you achieve a more pleasing balance between the shape, size and contour of your buttocks in proportion to the rest of your body. For more information about butt augmentation, download our free fact sheet!

Today, Brazilian butt lift (gluteoplasty) is one of the most-asked-for plastic surgery procedures that I perform. Using your own body fat, the size, shape and fullness of your “behind” can be meticulously and artfully sculpted, giving you amazingly natural-looking results.

The unique advantage of this technique is that it not only builds up the butt but also slims down areas where you have excess fat and want to look trimmer. Many of my patients choose to have fat reduced from their tummy and waist area, resulting in curves in all the right places.

Do you wish your breasts were bigger, fuller, firmer and younger-looking? Would you like to feel sexier in bathing suits and lingerie? Are your breasts two different sizes or shapes? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, you may want to consider breast augmentation, not only to enlarge the size of your breasts but also to help you look the way you would like to.

Deciding to have breast augmentation surgery is a big decision, impacting how your breasts look and feel for the rest of your life. I feel strongly that the best patient is an informed one, and therefore I would like to share information about this plastic surgery procedure so that you will have realistic expectations and will be satisfied with the results. For more information on breast augmentation, download our free fact sheet!

If you’re interested in breast augmentation but aren’t sure which questions to ask beforehand, I’ve put together this helpful list of things to think about during your initial consultation with your plastic surgeon. I feel strongly that asking the right questions better prepares you for the procedure and gives you the confidence you need to make your final decision. This is a transformative procedure that can dramatically change the way you (and others) see yourself, which is why it is so important for you to be as informed as possible. For more information on breast augmentation, download our free fact sheet!

In my more than 20 years performing liposuction, I’ve heard lots of reasons for deciding to have this highly successful body contouring procedure. For many of my patients, dramatically decreasing those stubborn pockets of fat and bulges that no amount of diet and exercise could erase helps them feel younger, slimmer, more energetic...and more beautiful. For others, having liposuction motivates them to live a healthier lifestyle and let go of bad habits, such as smoking.

Whatever the reason, liposuction can be a wonderful turning point in a person’s life, boosting their self-esteem and enabling them to feel confident about their bodies, sometimes for the first time. For more information on liposuction, download our free fact sheet!

Even though they exercise and eat sensibly, many of my patients still have stubborn fat pockets that just won’t go away. That’s often when I suggest liposuction. Liposuction can reduce even the most resistant fat deposits, giving you a trim, toned, curvy body you can confidently feel good about. For more information on liposuction, download our free fact sheet!

While each patient who decides to have liposuction differs in their body type and in what they are trying to achieve, there are some common areas of the body where both men and women want to reduce stubborn fat deposits and achieve a more toned and shapely silhouette. For more information on liposuction, download our free fact sheet!

Since fat cells do not reproduce, once they are reduced through liposuction, they will not be replaced—great news for many of my patients. This may be why liposuction is today’s most popular cosmetic procedure, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. To learn more about the range of body enhancing procedures I offer, click here.
