Weinstein, MD, FACS, creates refined, natural-looking results through meticulous surgical technique and an artist’s eye for proportion.
Reveal Beautifully Balanced Curves
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the size, shape, symmetry, and proportions of your breasts using breast implants or, in select cases, fat transfer. Whether you want to restore breast volume after pregnancy or weight loss, improve naturally small breasts, or correct breast asymmetry, Dr. Weinstein creates elegant results tailored to your anatomy. His artistic background as a sculptor guides every surgical decision, helping you achieve balanced, refined contours that complement your figure.
What Does Breast Augmentation Treat?
Breast augmentation may help address concerns such as:
- Naturally small breast size
- Loss of breast volume after pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Breast deflation following significant weight loss
- Age-related loss of fullness
- Breast asymmetry
- Uneven breast shape or proportions
- Insufficient upper pole fullness
- Congenital breast differences
- Lack of cleavage or projection
Dr. Weinstein’s Breast Augmentation Techniques
Preservation Breast Augmentation
Preservation breast augmentation prioritizes maintaining your breast anatomy while enhancing overall volume and shape. Using refined surgical techniques and, when appropriate, Motiva® 6th-generation implants, Dr. Weinstein minimizes tissue disruption to create soft, natural-looking results, preserve important structures, and support a smoother recovery.
Preservé® Breast Augmentation
Preservé® breast augmentation is an innovative, minimally invasive procedure that helps preserve more of your natural breast tissue. Dr. Weinstein carefully evaluates whether this advanced breast surgery technique is appropriate for your anatomy and goals, helping reduce tissue trauma while creating an elegant, natural-looking enhancement.
Scarless Breast Augmentation
Scarless breast augmentation uses a discreet incision hidden within the natural crease of the underarm rather than on the breast itself. While every incision creates a scar, this transaxillary approach leaves no visible scar on the breast. Dr. Weinstein uses meticulous endoscopic techniques to position implants with precision and minimal visible scarring.
Other Breast Augmentation Decisions to Consider
Saline vs. Silicone
Implants
Choosing between saline and silicone implants depends on your anatomy, aesthetic goals, and personal preferences. Saline implants are filled after insertion and placement, while silicone implants are pre-filled with a cohesive gel that closely resembles natural breast tissue. During your consultation, Dr. Weinstein will help determine which option best complements your desired outcome.
Subfascial vs. Dual Plane Placement
Implant placement plays an important role in your final result. Subfascial placement positions the implant beneath the muscle fascia while preserving the pectoral muscle, whereas dual-plane placement partially places the implant beneath the muscle for additional upper-pole coverage. Dr. Weinstein recommends the approach that best suits your anatomy, lifestyle, and goals.
Augmentation With vs. Without Mastopexy
Optimize your results with the GalaFLEX internal bra, an absorbable scaffold that provides additional support for breast tissue during healing. Often used in augmentation, breast lift, and revision procedures, GalaFLEX helps reinforce weakened tissues, support long-term breast shape, and enhance implant stability for appropriately selected patients while your natural collagen gradually replaces the scaffold.
Enhance Stability With the GalaFLEX™ Internal Bra
Scarless breast augmentation uses a discreet incision hidden within the natural crease of the underarm rather than on the breast itself. While every incision creates a scar, this transaxillary approach leaves no visible scar on the breast. Dr. Weinstein uses meticulous endoscopic techniques to position implants with precision and minimal visible scarring.
FAQs
How Long Is the Recovery After Breast Augmentation?
Most patients can return to light daily activities within several days, although strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for several weeks. Swelling gradually improves, and your implants continue settling into their final position. Dr. Weinstein provides personalized postoperative instructions and closely monitors your healing to support a smooth recovery.
How Long Do Breast Implants Last?
Breast implants are highly durable but are not considered lifetime devices. Many patients enjoy their results for many years without needing additional surgery, while others may choose implant exchange or revision due to aging, lifestyle changes, or personal preferences. Dr. Weinstein will continue to monitor your results and recommend treatment only if appropriate.
