Breast Augmentation New York | Brian D. Cohen, MD

Comprehensive Breast Augmentation in Great Neck and Manhattan

Breast augmentation is a transformative plastic surgery procedure designed to enhance breast size, shape, and symmetry. Dr. Brian D. Cohen specializes in personalized breast augmentation techniques serving patients throughout Nassau County and Manhattan.

Reasons for Breast Augmentation

Women pursue breast augmentation for various aesthetic and personal reasons, including:

• Creating fuller, more proportionate breast contours
• Restoring breast volume after pregnancy or weight loss
• Achieving symmetrical breast appearance
• Enhancing self-confidence and body image

Implant Options: Saline vs. Silicone

Dr. Cohen offers two FDA-approved implant types, each with unique characteristics:

• Saline Implants: Filled with sterile saltwater solution after placement
• Silicone Implants: Pre-filled with cohesive silicone gel for natural feel

Surgical Procedure Details

Breast augmentation typically involves a one to two-hour procedure performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Cohen carefully places incisions in inconspicuous locations, minimizing visible scarring. Implants can be positioned behind breast tissue or chest wall muscles, depending on individual patient needs.

Surgical Considerations and Recovery

Patients can expect initial recovery within one week, with gradual return to normal activities. Dissolvable stitches and a surgical compression bra support optimal healing. Dr. Cohen provides comprehensive post-operative guidance to ensure patient comfort and successful outcomes.

Potential Surgical Risks

While breast augmentation is generally safe, potential risks include:

• Capsular contracture
• Potential implant rupture
• Temporary changes in breast sensation
• Surgical infection
