Before receiving
breast enlargement surgery, Long Island’s premier surgeon, Dr. Breitbart, will discuss your choices with you. There are four possible incision sites, and as an experienced
cosmetic surgeon, Long Island physician Dr. Breitbart will work with you to select the best choice for your circumstances. There are also three kinds of implants and two possible implant placements that may be used by a
cosmetic surgeon. Long Island expert Dr. Breitbart prefers to place implants under the pectoral muscles, since this offers a more natural appearance, a more attractive cleavage, and a result that is softer to the touch. There are also medical benefits when implants are placed under the muscle tissue by a
cosmetic surgeon. Long Island patients find they can still have effective breast exams and mammograms because, with this procedure, the implants do not touch the breast tissue.
You will also decide upon the size of your implants with your
cosmetic surgeon. Long Island women often bring example photos from magazines to help them with this decision. When discussing the procedure later on with their
cosmetic surgeon, Long Island patients often say they wish they had ‘gone bigger.’ This is because, after breast enlargement surgery, Long Island patients realize their breasts appear larger due to swelling. Over time, the breasts decrease in size and drop in position. The surgery itself generally takes one to two hours under general anesthesia. Following recommendations from their
cosmetic surgeon, Long Island patients often ask a friend or relative to help them a few days after their
breast enlargement surgery. Long Island patients are briefed about the recovery period before surgery.
