Breast Augmentation in NYC

I’ve been performing breast augmentation procedures for over 20 years. During that time, I’ve helped thousands of women achieve natural, elegant results that complement their body and lifestyle. My approach is deeply personalized — every treatment plan is designed to match your unique anatomy and goals. I also stay actively involved in the academic and surgical community as a Clinical Assistant Professor at Weill Cornell, which helps keep me at the forefront of new techniques and advancements in the field.

My on-site surgical center is fully accredited, state-of-the-art, and designed with your privacy and comfort in mind. Unlike a busy hospital or outpatient facility, my surgical center offers a much more personalized experience. It’s quiet, private, and staffed by a team that knows you — not a rotating hospital crew. We maintain the highest safety standards and have a perfect safety record. I also use the most minimally invasive techniques possible to reduce recovery time and avoid things like surgical drains, which can be uncomfortable and increase infection risk.

Planning for future pregnancies doesn’t rule out breast augmentation, but it’s an important part of our conversation. Pregnancy can affect breast volume and shape, which may influence how long your results last or whether you’ll want a revision later. If you’re planning to get pregnant in the very near future, I might recommend waiting until afterward. However, many women choose to have breast augmentation before having children, and in most cases, they are still able to successfully breastfeed. We’ll look at your timeline and goals together and create the right plan for you.

Absolutely — I encourage all my patients to physically feel and compare the different types of implants during their consultation. Silicone implants tend to have a more natural, soft feel and are the most popular choice. Saline implants are filled after placement and are a bit firmer, but they allow for smaller incisions and cost a bit less. Gummy bear implants, which are made from cohesive gel, hold their shape exceptionally well and are known for their durability and firmness. Seeing and feeling them in person makes a big difference when making your decision.

There is a common myth that breast implants must be replaced strictly every 10 years. In reality, implants do not have an expiration date. While they are not considered lifetime devices and you may eventually choose to replace or remove them due to natural aging or personal preference, you only need to replace them if a complication occurs (such as a rupture or capsular contracture). Your free annual check-ups will help ensure your implants remain perfectly intact year after year.

No, you can still safely get routine mammograms. However, because breast implants can partially obscure some breast tissue, it is important to inform your mammogram technologist beforehand. They will perform specialized 'displacement views' to ensure clear imaging.

Yes, I offer free annual office visits as part of your long-term care. Even if everything feels perfect, I want to ensure your implants remain in great condition and that you’re still happy with your results. During these visits, I’ll check the positioning of the implants, assess your breast tissue, and answer any questions you may have. This is part of my commitment to providing lifelong support and care for every patient.
