Breast Augmentation New York, NY | LaBruna N. Anthony MD

Understanding Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation, or augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance breast size, shape, and overall appearance. The procedure addresses women's aesthetic goals by creating improved body proportions and boosting self-confidence.

Procedure Overview

Approximately 400,000 women in the United States undergo breast augmentation annually, making it the second most popular cosmetic surgical procedure. The surgery involves carefully selected implants that complement a patient's natural body structure.

Implant Types

Silicone Implants

• FDA-approved and considered very safe
• Pre-filled with cohesive silicone gel
• Closely resemble natural breast tissue

Saline Implants

• Inserted empty and filled with sterile saline solution
• Adjustable for symmetry
• Flexible sizing options

Candidate Considerations

Ideal candidates for breast augmentation typically seek the procedure to:

• Enhance breast size proportional to body frame
• Correct asymmetrical breast appearance
• Restore breast volume after pregnancy or weight changes

Surgical Approach

Dr. LaBruna employs a personalized consultation process, carefully measuring chest dimensions and discussing patient goals to determine the most appropriate implant type and size.

Potential Risks

While breast augmentation carries minimal risks, potential side effects may include temporary skin sensation changes, infection, or rare implant complications. Dr. LaBruna's extensive experience minimizes these risks.
