Breast Augmentation
(breast implants in 5 convenient New Jersey or New York locations)
  


 

       Breast augmentation is a procedure where the appearance of the breasts are enhanced by placing implants under the breast tissue and/or chest muscle.  It is important to understand that this is not always a simple procedure and significant preparation must be made to determine the correct approach and type of implant that is to be used.  The surgeons at Associates in Plastic Surgery will take the time with each patient during the consultation to determine the best procedure to perform.  

       Dr. Cuber is a specialist in breast and body surgery.  He is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and dedicates his time to breast augmentation, breast reduction, and body sculpting.  This allows him to give you the latest techniques and a focused experience to give the best results possible.

       Analysis of the breasts is very important.  Dr. Cuber will make very precise measurements of not only the breasts, but their relation to the rest of the body.  Some breasts are small to begin with, and only a symmetric enlargement is needed.  Occasionally, the breasts are asymmetrical and therefore need to be enlarged and made equal in size.  Sometimes the breasts may sag after childbirth or weight loss and the breast implants can be combined with a lift to restore the fullness and shape.

Patient Testimonial

Incisions

TUBA (trans umbilical breast augmentation) - a hidden incision in the belly button is used to place the implants so no scar is seen around the breast itself. This is a wonderful way to enhance the breasts with minimal evidence that a surgery was even performed.

Standard incision - this is placed in the natural crease under the breast and is about one to one and a half inches long. This approach is easy and the incision usually heals to the point where it is almost invisible.

Areolar incision - an incision is made around part of the areola and nipple. After healing occurs the incision blends in well and is very difficult to see.

Axillary incision - a small incision is made under the muscle in each armpit.  The breast implant is placed into the pocket created and the incision heals extremely well.  This is another great way to perform breast augmentation with no incision on the breast at all.

The implants are saline (salt-water) filled or they can be filled with a cohesive silicon gel which was recently approved by the FDA.  The silicon gel implants have undergone extensive testing and leakage should be extremely rare.  When you are in our office for your consultation, you may stand on one of our samples to see how strong it is.  Silicon gives a more natural feel than saline so the patient satisfaction is higher.  However, most patients still desire the saline implants at this time because they can be placed through the smaller incisions, while the silicon implants need to be placed through the standard incision under the breast.

Dual plane breast augmentation is a useful technique for patients who have only a minor amount of droopiness and do not want to go through a breast lift.  In this procedure, the implant is placed partially beneath the muscle and partially beneath the breast tissue.  This gives lift to the breast along with the fullness so a breast lift (and the incisions that go with it) is not needed.

The surgery is performed in our accredited surgery center under IV sedation or general anesthesia.  You will be discharged home the same day with a bandage and wrap in place.  Some soreness, swelling, and bruising may occur, and muscle relaxants, pain killers, and antibiotics will be prescribed.  The breasts will often appear too high to begin with, but will fall nicely into position in subsequent weeks.  Patients can typically return to work in 10 days, with no strenuous activity for 2-3 weeks. 

Breast augmentation is a very satisfying procedure and Dr. Cuber takes the time to individualize each patient so the best procedure is done every time.  So call the office for a free consultation and we will be happy to discuss everything with you.
