Enhance your confidence and body proportions with breast augmentation at New York Group for Plastic Surgery. This procedure helps treat concerns like small, uneven, or deflated breasts by restoring volume and shape. Led by Dr. Jordan M.S. Jacobs, our team delivers natural-looking results tailored to your body and aesthetic goals.
Enhance Breast Size, Shape, and Symmetry
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that enhances the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts. It is commonly performed using silicone or saline implants or through fat transfer from other areas of the body. Many women choose this procedure to correct asymmetry, restore volume lost from pregnancy or weight loss, or simply achieve a fuller, more proportionate figure. At New York Group for Plastic Surgery, Dr. Jacobs uses advanced techniques to create natural, long-lasting results that align with your personal aesthetic goals.
You May Consider Breast Augmentation If:
- You feel your breasts are too small for your frame
- You have uneven or asymmetrical breasts
- You lost volume after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss
- You want to improve how your clothes fit
- You feel self-conscious about your breast size
- You want to restore a more youthful breast shape
- You wish to enhance your overall body proportions
Your Breast Augmentation Options at NYGPS
Breast Implants
Breast implants are a highly customizable option for increasing breast size and reshaping the overall contour of the chest. At NYGPS, we offer a wide range of FDA-approved implant types, including saline, silicone, structured saline, and gummy bear implants. Each implant type varies in feel, shape, and firmness, allowing Dr. Jacobs to help you choose the one that best aligns with your body type and aesthetic goals. Implants can significantly enhance symmetry, fullness, and projection, resulting in a balanced, natural-looking silhouette.
Breast Fat Transfer
For women seeking a natural enhancement, breast augmentation through fat transfer offers an excellent alternative. This technique uses liposuction to remove fat from areas like the thighs, abdomen, or flanks, which is then purified and strategically injected into the breasts. Fat transfer is ideal for patients looking to increase breast size by about one cup while also enjoying the added benefit of body contouring. Since the procedure uses your own tissue, it provides long-lasting, soft, and realistic results with minimal scarring.
Your Breast Implant Options at NYGPS
At New York Group for Plastic Surgery, we offer a variety of breast implant types to suit your unique anatomy and aesthetic preferences. During your consultation, Dr. Jacobs will guide you through the options and help determine the best fit based on your goals, lifestyle, and body type. Each implant type has specific advantages in terms of feel, shape, and performance. Below are the main options available:
Saline Implants:
Filled with sterile saltwater, saline implants are inserted empty and then filled once in place, allowing for smaller incisions. In the rare event of a rupture, the body naturally absorbs the saline without harm. These implants offer a firm feel and are often ideal for patients who prefer a more adjustable sizing option.
Structured Saline Implants:
These implants feature an internal structure that helps the saline flow more evenly, mimicking the feel of natural breast tissue. They offer a balance between the safety of saline and the realistic feel of silicone. Structured saline implants can be a good choice for women who want peace of mind without compromising on appearance.
Silicone Implants:
Known for their soft, natural texture, silicone implants are pre-filled with cohesive silicone gel. They tend to feel more like natural breast tissue and are a popular option for many patients because of their naturalness. Regular follow-up imaging may be recommended to monitor their integrity over time.
Gummy Bear Implants:
Also known as form-stable implants, these are filled with a thicker silicone gel that maintains its shape even if the implant shell is broken. They are designed with a tapered top and fuller bottom, resembling the natural slope of the breast. Gummy bear implants are highly durable and offer a firm, sculpted look.
Round Implants:
These implants are uniformly shaped and provide consistent fullness throughout the breast. Because they are symmetrical, there’s no concern about rotation affecting the shape. Round implants often deliver more upper pole volume, which many patients find appealing for a lifted, youthful appearance.
Explore Your Options & Visualize the Results
thorough review of your medical history, followed by a physical examination to assess your breast size, symmetry, skin quality, and chest wall dimensions. Dr. Jacobs will explain the differences between implant materials (saline, silicone, structured, and gummy bear), surgical techniques, and fat transfer options. You’ll also discuss factors such as incision location and implant placement (above or below the muscle).
To help you confidently select your desired size and shape, we use Vectra XT 3D Imaging—a cutting-edge system that creates high-resolution simulations of your potential results. This tool enables you to virtually try on various implants and compare projections, volumes, and profiles side by side. Based on your goals and preferences, Dr. Jacobs will design a surgical plan that maximizes aesthetic harmony while ensuring safety and natural-looking results.
Your Breast Augmentation Session
On the day of your procedure, you’ll be welcomed to our accredited surgical facility and placed under general anesthesia. Dr. Jacobs will begin by reviewing the final surgical plan with you and marking the incision sites. Depending on your plan, he will make a small incision in one of three locations: inframammary (along the breast fold), periareolar (around the lower edge of the areola), or transaxillary (within the natural fold of the armpit). These incision locations are selected based on implant type, breast anatomy, and your personal goals.
For implant-based augmentation, Dr. Jacobs will create a pocket either beneath the pectoral muscle (submuscular) or above it (subglandular), then insert the saline or silicone implants with precision. In fat transfer augmentation, he will use liposuction to harvest, purify, and reinject fat cells into multiple layers of the breast tissue to naturally build volume. Incisions are then closed with layered sutures, and the area is dressed in a surgical support garment. The procedure typically takes 1.5 to 2 hours.
The Recovery Process After Breast Augmentation
After your breast augmentation, you can expect some swelling, tightness, bruising, and mild discomfort in the chest area. These side effects are normal and typically begin to subside within the first week. You’ll be given prescription pain medication and detailed aftercare instructions to manage your recovery. Most patients can return to light activities within 5 to 7 days, but you should avoid heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for at least 4 to 6 weeks.
You’ll wear a surgical bra or compression garment to support your breasts and help reduce swelling. It’s important to sleep on your back, keep the incision sites clean and dry, and attend all scheduled follow-up appointments with Dr. Jacobs. Full results will gradually become apparent over a few months as swelling subsides and the implants settle.
