Breast Augmentation Harrison, NY | Dr. Vadim Pisarenko, MD

Understanding Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to enhance breast size and shape through carefully placed implants. The procedure involves inserting either saline or silicone implants to increase volume, projection, and cleavage.

Key Benefits of Breast Augmentation

• Immediate enhancement of breast size and contour
• Minimal surgical scarring
• Improved clothing fit and personal confidence

Ideal Candidates for Breast Augmentation

Suitable candidates typically include healthy individuals who are 18 years or older with minimal breast ptosis. A comprehensive consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon can help determine individual candidacy and potential additional procedures.

Surgical Techniques

Breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia with two primary incision techniques: periareolar (around the areola) and inframammary (underneath the breast). The implant can be placed behind breast tissue or the pectoralis muscle, depending on patient anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Implant Options

• Saline Implants: Filled with sterile saltwater solution
• Silicone Implants: Filled with cohesive gel ("gummy bear" implants)
• Both FDA-approved with similar safety profiles

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect some initial discomfort, bruising, and swelling. Most individuals return to light activities within weeks, with full recovery occurring over 1-2 months. Results include enhanced breast size, improved body proportions, and increased self-confidence.

Potential Considerations

While breast augmentation is generally safe, potential complications may include capsular contracture, changes in nipple sensation, and the potential need for future revision surgeries. Discussing these details thoroughly with your surgeon is crucial.
