Breast Aesthetics
The field of cosmetic breast surgery encompasses a range of procedures designed to help women obtain the beautiful, proportionate, and natural-looking breast aesthetic they desire. A renowned specialist in the field of breast surgery, Dr. Tomer Avraham takes the time to thoroughly consult with each patient so that he can develop a treatment plan optimally suited to their personal goals.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is a procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. Depending on the goals of the patient, this can be accomplished using either breast implants or fat transfer to the breasts. During a consultation, Dr. Avraham can help determine which option is best suited to helping an individual achieve their desired aesthetic.
Breast Lift
Breast lift surgery—medically known as mastopexy—lifts the breasts for a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance. The nipple and areola can also be resized and repositioned to enhance the proportions and overall aesthetic of the breasts. This procedure is often performed to help women who are concerned about drooping or sagging—which can occur as a result of age, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and other factors—regain a firmer, “perkier” breast contour. In cases where a woman wishes to increase the volume of her breasts in addition to addressing excess skin, a breast lift with implants—also called an augmentation mastopexy or breast augmentation with lift—can be performed.
Breast Reduction
For patients who want to reduce breast size and improve comfort, Dr. Avraham also offers breast reduction in NYC. It is routinely rated as one of the most satisfying plastic surgery procedures due to the myriad physical and psychological benefits it can produce. During a consultation, Dr. Avraham will evaluate the specific needs and goals of the patient in order to develop a custom treatment plan. In some circumstances it is possible to obtain insurance coverage for breast reduction surgery. Our experienced patient coordination team can help guide you through the insurance authorization process, if needed.
Breast Implant Removal & Replacement
Breast augmentation with implants is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures available, but a woman may wish to remove or replace her implants for a variety of reasons. Breast implants are not “lifetime devices,” and are likely to require replacement every 10-20 years. Furthermore, conditions like capsular contracture or breast implant illness can necessitate implant removal. In other cases, a woman’s aesthetic preferences may change or evolve with time, resulting in a desire to remove or exchange her otherwise healthy implants. Whatever the motivation may be, Dr. Avraham can create a personalized treatment plan to help a patient obtain their desired appearance.
Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction, a complex, multidisciplinary process focused on helping women who are being treated for breast cancer regain a natural and aesthetically-pleasing breast appearance, is a passion of Dr. Avraham’s. Dr. Avraham understands that this can be an emotional journey for many women, and he works alongside each patient and their cancer care team to ensure the best possible results. The precise approach taken will depend on the individual needs and goals of each woman, with options including implant reconstructions, natural tissue flap reconstructions, and oncoplastic reconstruction (in the case of a lumpectomy).
