There’s only one you. Your face, body, lifestyle, goals in life…they’re all unique to you. With Natrelle gummy gel breast implants, your breast size and shape are unique to you, too for a look that’s yours alone.

What breast size and shape would you like to achieve?

With Natrelle breast implants, you can choose from four different degrees of breast fullness, from minimal to maximum, depending on your own individual goals.

One of the most satisfying aspects about being a plastic surgeon is being able to help patients feel better about themselves and their bodies. This is often achieved by body enhancing surgery, such as a Brazilian butt lift, Mommy Makeover, breast augmentation, tummy tuck or liposuction. Yet these days, the body shaping procedure that more and more of my patients are asking for is a breast lift. And they’re not alone. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, breast lifts have grown 70% since 2000, outpacing breast implants 2-to-1.

Like these patients, maybe this type of cosmetic surgery could benefit you too. Have your breasts begun to droop and sag? Do your nipples now point downward rather than straight ahead or upward? Do you long to once again have breasts that look youthful, uplifted and voluptuous? If so, a breast lift can be a very effective solution.

As you may have heard, textured breast implants made by Allergan have been linked to a rare type of cancer and have recently been recalled in the United States and worldwide. The recall concerns Allergan’s BIOCELL textured breast implants and tissue expanders. You can read the FDA announcement about the recall here in the US here.

For an explanation of the recall and what it might mean for you, watch this short video

To help patients better understand this issue, I’ve made a 2½-minute video explaining the details, which you can watch by clicking on the image below.

In the past, did you have breasts that were full, firm and round, but after the passage of time, have begun to droop and sag? Were they a lot higher than they are now? Do you wish you could get your younger, pre-children breasts back? With a breast lift, you can!

What is a breast lift and what will it do?

Have your breasts begun to droop and sag? Are they a lot lower than they used to be? Do you wish they were higher, fuller and younger-looking? Like many of my patients, you might want to consider a breast lift, a surgical procedure that significantly improves the appearance of your breasts. In addition, by lifting and re-positioning your breasts, a breast lift helps you look and feel more attractive and more feminine, both undressed and in clothing, and more self-confident about your body.

Recently, you may have heard or read that textured breast implants made by Allergan have been linked to a rare and sometimes fatal cancer known as breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). Because of this link, Allergan voluntarily recalled its textured breast implants this past summer.

The cancer, a form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, can reside in the scar tissue and fluid near the breast implant and spread throughout the body, compromising the immune system. The exact cause of the lymphoma is unknown, but researchers suspect that the textured surfaces of the breast implants allow potentially harmful bacteria to grow in the shell’s nooks and crannies. Textured breast implants account for less than 10% of breast implants in the U.S. but more than 80% in other parts of the world.

To put my patients’ minds at ease, I want to clearly state that I only use smooth breast implants, not textured ones, in my practice

One of the most satisfying aspects about being a plastic surgeon is enabling women to achieve the breast size and shape they’ve always wanted. If having larger breasts is their goal, I recommend breast augmentation using breast implants, a safe, long-term, highly successful way to get the breast size they’re looking for. To learn about the range of breast shaping procedures I offer, click here. 

For larger, fuller, firmer breasts, breast augmentation is a great option.

Breast augmentation surgery is typically performed to enlarge small breasts, underdeveloped breasts or breasts that have decreased in size after a woman has had children. Breast augmentation can also make breasts more symmetrical if one is significantly larger than the other. If you are a good candidate for breast augmentation without a lift or other surgery, you may qualify for our special pricing.

By changing your breast size, breast implants can also change your life

For many of my patients, getting bigger breasts helps them look and feel younger, sexier, more feminine and more attractive. As well as giving them a bigger bust size, breast augmentation can be a wonderful turning point in their lives, boosting their self-esteem and enabling them to feel confident about their bodies, sometimes for the first time, especially while wearing bathing suits and figure-hugging tops and dresses. In addition to breast augmentation, I offer a complete range of breast procedures which you can learn about here.

Have you always wanted bigger breasts than the ones you were born with? Or, have you have a mastectomy and are considering reconstructive surgery with breast implants?

Before deciding to have breast augmentation, it is very important to make sure your plastic surgeon is qualified to perform this highly specialized surgery. He/she should be board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and be a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons as well as the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. In addition, your surgeon should be very experienced in performing this procedure, i.e., not “practicing” on you and your breasts.

In both of these areas, I can confidently say that I am highly qualified and extremely experienced in performing breast implant surgery, with excellent results. In addition to breast augmentation, I offer a complete range of breast procedures which you can learn about here.

Recently, many women around the world, including a number of my patients, have become concerned to learn that textured breast implants made by Allergan that have been linked to an unusual type of cancer are being recalled in the United States at the request of the Food and Drug Administration. These textured implants will also be recalled globally.

According to an announcement by the FDA, the recall concerns Allergan’s BIOCELL textured breast implants and tissue expanders. You can read the FDA announcement here.
