Over the more than 20 years I have been a plastic surgeon, I have heard dozens of reasons why a woman would like her breasts enhanced.  I perform a large number of breast augmentations each year and I offer all of my patients the same advice if they are considering this procedure: Breast augmentation can improve the appearance of your breasts but should not be used as a means to improve your overall life, or to make a bad relationship better. You should only consider having breast implants for yourself, not at someone else’s urging or to “fix” something in your life. For more information on breast augmentation, download our free fact sheet!

Did you know that according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, breast augmentation is the top cosmetic surgery performed today? This fact echoes what I see in my own practice. Whether it’s enhancing a woman’s breast size from an A cup to a C, or a B cup to a D, breast implant surgery is the most common plastic surgery procedure that I perform. Breast augmentation is a major step for most women, boosting self-esteem, body image and sexual satisfaction, and I am pleased that I can help achieve these positive outcomes for my patients. For more information on breast augmentation, download our free fact sheet!

In my more than 20 years performing breast implant surgery, I’ve heard almost every reason for women wanting larger breasts. For many women, breast implants help them feel sexier, younger, more voluptuous...more feminine. For others, breast implants correct breast misalignment, breasts that never developed, the absence of breasts after surgery, or some other issue. But for all of these women, breast augmentation can be a wonderful turning point in their lives, boosting their self-esteem and enabling them to have a positive body image, sometimes for the first time.

Having performed breast augmentation surgery for over 20 years, I understand 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.  

If you’re interested in breast enhancement but aren’t sure which questions to ask, here are some things to think about during your initial consultation with your plastic surgeon. Asking the right questions 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 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!

One of the joys of being a plastic surgeon is being able to give women the size and shape breasts they desire. For some women, that means smaller breasts (breast reduction). For others, it means larger ones (breast augmentation). For those who want bigger, fuller breasts, breast implants are a safe, highly successful way to get the breast size they’ve always wanted. For more information on breast augmentation, download our free fact sheet!

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.
