Breast augmentation in New York, Connecticut and New Jersey can be one of the most life enhancing procedures available in plastic surgery for women 18 years of age and older. Breast augmentation patients have witnessed many benefits from their breast augmentation procedure. Dr. Blau’s patients have touted about a renewed sense of well being, enhanced confidence, greater sexual pleasure and improved comfort both clothed and unclothed. Whether you have small breasts, asymmetric breasts, or have experienced breast volume loss because of massive weight loss, pregnancy or age, breast augmentation can be one of the best investments to improve quality of life.

When you meet for a complimentary consultation with Dr. Blau about breast augmentation at his Westchester, New York plastic surgery practice, you will feel comfortable to address any question you have relating to breast enhancement and have the opportunity to expand on the following information, including:

Breast Augmentation Evaluation:
Dr. Blau will evaluate your breasts to help decide on the best approach to the procedure at his Westchester based location. Some breast augmentation candidates learn that they can achieve a satisfactory outcome with simply breast augmentation, others may also require a breast lift, and still others may find the both the breast augmentation and breast lift are required to fully improve the appearance of the breasts.

Breast Implant Choices:
Breast implants come on a variety of sizes and shapes. There are two types of breast implants that can be used in the breast augmentation procedure, silicone or saline. Saline implants offer undisputable long standing FDA approval, easy diagnosis for leak or rupture through implant deflation and a comparatively less expensive mammography requirement for the detection of breast cancer. Silicone implants may provide for a more natural look and feel, but there is no obvious deflation in cases of leak or rupture, and an MRI requirement.

Breast Augmentation Breast Lift Combination:
Breast augmentation candidates may be best served with a breast augmentation breast lift combination procedure in certain cases. The breast lift addresses concerns with breast droopiness, sagging and tubular breast appearances. The breast lift performed in Connecticut, New York and New Jersey is often beneficial for women that have lost massive weight, mothers and older women. Dr. Blau is among a select number of plastic surgeons who can perform both procedures at the same time because of his many years of experience with breast augmentation breast lift patients.

Breast Enhancement Revision Surgery:
Breast augmentation revision surgery is described as the replacement breast implants. Over the course of a lifetime, breast implants age and may require replacement. In some cases, breast implants leak or rupture and require substitution. A second breast augmentation may be performed because of other complications with the first procedure as well. Silicone breast augmentation patients are advised to exchange breast implants every seven to ten years. The beauty in breast revision surgery is that Dr. Blau can often use the same incision to slip the breast implant out and exchange the breast implant with a new one. This procedure may be performed general anesthesia or under IV sedation and local anesthesia. Often, breast revision surgery offers a speedier recovery when compared with an initial procedure.

Breast Augmentation Incisions:
There are a variety of incision location choices; including under the arm pit, the natural crease at the below the breast, and the nipple. The most common incision location at Dr. Blau’s practice is a nipple incision that is approximately one inch long and is inconspicuously masked by the edge of the areola line. If a breast lift is also being performed at the same time, Dr. Blau can often use the same incision to perform the breast lift. Breast revision surgery may utilize the same incision as well. The breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia and the recovery period is up to two weeks time.

Breast Implant Placement and Procedure:
It is best to have breast augmentation at a fully accredited facility and most patients prefer general anesthesia. Breast implants may be placed above or below the muscles, depending upon your own personal anatomy and preference. During a breast augmentation procedure, an incision is made, commonly at the nipple in Dr. Blau’s practice, so that a breast implant can be placed above or below the muscles. If an inflatable breast implant is being used, it will be placed in a deflated form upon entry to the body and inflated once it is in place. The procedure may require two hours or more hours of time and breast augmentation patients can usually return to work within ten days. Rare complications that may result following breast augmentation include infection, capsular contraction, and reaction to anesthesia. Most breast augmentation patients feel very good by three days after the procedure.
