Breast Procedures

Conveniently located to serve New York, London, Greenwich, and Palm Beach

Breast augmentation is one of the most popular breast procedures performed around the world. At Dr. Cap Lesesne International Cosmetic Surgery, we have provided numerous women with beautiful results from their breast augmentation in New York, London, Greenwich, and Palm Beach.

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation (augmentation mammoplasty) is a surgical procedure that adds or restores volume to the breast through the placement of a breast implant. Many women choose to have breast augmentation for the following reasons:

  • Enlarging the size of the natural breasts
  • Correcting asymmetry in breasts (breasts are two different sizes)
  • Restoring volume due to weight loss, pregnancy, or breast-feeding
  • Correcting congenital issues such as tubular breast
  • To boost self-esteem and overall self-confidence.

 

Breast Augmentation may also be used in conjunction with other Breast enhancement surgeries such as Breast Lift or breast reduction to achieve the best possible result. Overall, women who undergo breast augmentation surgery are very satisfied with their results.

Preparing for Your Breast Augmentation

During your initial consultation in NYC, Dr. Lesesne will review your general health, and desired results, and discuss the implant options available based on the diameter, shape, and size of your chest and natural breasts. Dr. Lesesne will also discuss your breast implant placement options based on your height, weight, current breast anatomy, and skin elasticity.

Choosing the Right Breast Implant- Implant Options

Choosing the Right Breast Implant- Implant Options

There have been significant innovations from breast implant manufacturers. Now more than ever, patients have many more options to choose from. The type of implant you choose depends on multiple factors including the look you want and how much of a breast enlargement you would like. The two primary types of FDA-approved breast implants used today are silicone and saline.

Silicone implants are constructed with an outer shell made of silicone rubber and filled with silicone gel. These implants are also known as cohesive or gummy bear implants. Silicone implants come pre-filled from the manufacturer and are available in a broad range of sizes.

Silicone implants are available in a round shape or a classic shape to mimic the look and feel of the natural breast. Both round and shaped implants can be coated with a smooth (implant surface is smooth and slippery) or textured (implant surface is rough and irregular) outer finish.

Saline Implants

Saline implants are constructed of an outer shell comprised of silicone rubber and are filled with a sterile saline solution. Saline implants are equipped with a small valve that allows Dr. Lesesne to fill the implant to the desired amount. Once the implant is filled with the saline solution, the valve seals the saline solution automatically.

To ensure a tight seal, a small secondary sealing tip is inserted into the top of the valve. Saline implants enable surgeons to easily make minor adjustments in size.

There are benefits to both types of breast implants. Dr. Lesesne will recommend the best implant size, shape, and finish to achieve the best breast augmentation results.

Implant Placement

Implant Placement

There is no “one size fits all” solution for breast augmentation surgery. Several factors are considered when choosing the best surgical technique and implant placement. Breast implants can be positioned under the pectoral muscle or over the pectoral muscle (directly behind the breast tissue).

Dr. Lesesne will advise the best placement for you based on the type of implant used, your desired breast increase, and your specific anatomical needs.

Above the Pectoral Muscle

Dr. Lesesne has found that placing the implant above (on top of) the pectoral muscle is the best solution for the following patients:

  • Women who are older and suffer from breast ptosis (saggy breasts)
  • Women who are post-pregnancy or have breastfed
  • Women who are athletic
  • Women who suffer from tubular breast, muscle, or rib deformities
  • Women who want maximal cleavage

 

Placing breast implants above the pectoral muscle is the most straightforward technique in breast augmentation surgery. Using this technique, Dr. Lesesne places the implant between the breast tissue and the chest muscle. This approach allows the insertion of large implants and is placed below the breast glands which does allow for breastfeeding.

Below the Pectoral Muscle

Dr. Lesesne recommends placing the implant below the pectoral muscle for:

  • Women who are thin or have a petite bone structure
  • Women who have experienced hard capsules from earlier implants
  • Women who have wound-healing issues
  • Women that have a family history of breast cancer
  • Women who received multiple previous breast biopsies

 

Below the muscle or sub-muscular placement is a technique in which breast implants are positioned partially under the pectoral chest muscle. The implant is covered by the breast tissue and the muscle resulting in a more natural look. There is less risk of capsular contracture development and less distortion of mammograms when placing the implant below the pectoral muscle.

Patient Testimonial

 

Dr. Lesesne is a wonderful surgeon and friend. I have had a face lift, a tummy tuck and breast reduction, the results are amazing!! Dr Lesesne has an “eye” for making you look younger, natural and more attractive. The recovery time, the bruising, and the pain was minimal. Both he and his office make themselves available throughout the process, both prior and post surgery. Dr. Lesesne is the BEST!!! I look 10 to 15 years younger. His skin care products are terrific. I plan on continuing to see him for maintenance and “touch ups.

Breast Augmentation Incisions

Dr. Lesesne begins the procedure by making an incision in an easily hidden place. You and Dr. Lesesne will decide on the placement depending on the type of implant used and your body’s needs. Incision placement for breast augmentation includes:

Axilla: Axilla incisions are made in the hollow area of the underarm. The incision is approximately 1.5 -2.0 inches (depending on the implant size) and is placed in the skin crease so the scar is well hidden. Once the incision is made, a small tunnel is then made to the pectoral muscle to create a pocket for the placement of the breast implant.

Areola: Incisions can also be made on the bottom half of the areola (the dark skin that encircles the nipple). This technique is commonly called periareolar breast augmentation. The scar will fade over time and is well hidden between areolar tissue and skin.

Inframammary: A 1.5-2.0 inch incision can be made at the fold of the breast. This technique is called the inframammary incision. This is an excellent approach for New York patients using saline or silicone implants. Scars typically fade well and are not visible in bras or swimsuits.

Umbilical: Trans-umbilical breast augmentation (TUBA) is a type of breast augmentation in which the incision is made in the navel rather than the chest. Much like the axilla technique, a tunnel is made from the navel to the pectoral muscle, and the breast implants are then inserted in the breast pocket. This technique cannot be used with saline or pre-filled implants.

Breast Augmentation Recovery and Results

Recovery time after breast augmentation surgery in New York is usually 1-2 days for most healthy individuals. You may experience some swelling and soreness up to a week after surgery, but pain and discomfort as well tolerated. Sutures can be removed 5-7 days after surgery.

Breast implants can take up to a few weeks before they settle and look natural after surgery. At first, you may notice the implants are sitting higher on your chest, feel firmer, or are larger than you expected. You should wait at least three months before your final results are realized.

Your implants will drop to sit in a more natural position on your chest and the swelling will come down so you can see the final size results of your breast augmentation surgery.
