Breast Augmentation

NEW YORK CITY

Natural breast augmentation surgery serves more than just enlarging a woman’s breast size. It is a popular choice to improve  self-esteem and body image, whether you were born with smaller breasts or lost volume due to pregnancy, weight loss or aging.

What Is Breast Augmentation Surgery?

Breasts can lose volume due to various reasons like pregnancy, weight loss, or be underdeveloped, medically referred to as hypoplastic. Breast augmentation surgery is an effective solution, where implants filled with silicone or saline are placed under the breast tissue and chest muscle, enhancing the size, shape, and projection of the breasts.

How Is a Breast Augmentation Performed?

After a thorough consultation and examination we determine which volume and type of implant is ideal for you.  The procedure is performed under anesthesia, patients go home the same day and  can resume most routine activities within a few days after surgery.

Benefits of a Brest Augmentation

Enhanced Breast Shape and Volume

Breast augmentation restores or increases fullness, creating a more balanced and proportionate silhouette.

Correction of Asymmetry

Implants can even out naturally uneven breasts, providing a more harmonious and symmetrical appearance.

Improved Body Confidence

Many patients feel more confident in clothing, swimwear, and overall body image after achieving their desired breast shape.

Good Candidates for a Breast Augmentation

You may be a good candidate for a breast augmentation if you:

  • Have good overall breast shape but want increased volume and projection.
  • Have lost breast volume after weight loss or breastfeeding, as long as breast shape and nipple position are still suitable for augmentation alone.
  • Have asymmetrical breasts or nipples and want improved balance and proportion.

FAQs

What is the ideal implant size?

There is no ideal implant size. The right implant size is highly individual and depends on your anatomy, proportions, and aesthetic goals. During your consultation, Dr. Franck takes detailed measurements of your chest, breast width, and soft-tissue support to recommend a size that looks natural and balanced for your frame and aligns with your aesthetic vision.

Typical cost for a primary breast augmentation in New York City ranges between $8,000–$20,000. The final price depends on factors like implant type, anesthesia and facility fees, and any additional procedures.

Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater and can be adjusted in volume during surgery; they tend to feel slightly heavier and may show more rippling in thinner patients. Silicone implants are pre-filled with a cohesive silicone gel that feels softer and more natural, especially in women with less breast tissue. Both are safe and FDA-approved.

Motiva® is a newer generation silicone gel implant designed to feel soft and natural, with a smooth, tissue-friendly surface and a flexible shell that allows for smaller incisions. Recently FDA-approved, Motiva offers an advanced, modern alternative to traditional silicone implants.

You may need a breast lift if your nipples sit low on the breast, point downward, or fall below the breast crease when unsupported. A lift helps reposition the nipple and reshape the breast for a more youthful contour. During your consultation, Dr. Franck evaluates your skin quality, nipple position, and overall breast shape to determine whether augmentation alone is enough or if combining it with a lift will give you the best, most natural result.
