Breast augmentation is a plastic surgery procedure that involves the placement of breast implants or fat to enhance the size, shape, projection, firmness, and symmetry of the breasts. Each year, surgical techniques and breast implants themselves are continuously being refined, increasing the safety and reliability of the procedure. With the continued scientific research and development of proven methods, further advancements of breast implant options will be made in stride with the continuing medical education of qualified cosmetic plastic surgeons specializing in breast surgery.

“As a board-certified plastic surgeon, I specialize in quick recovery breast augmentation. I began to use these techniques in 2001 and I have seen a dramatic improvement in my patient’s recovery. The quick recovery method allows patients to raise their hands over their heads in the recovery room and to return to 90% of their daily normal activity in one to two days. I see all patients within 24 hours after surgery and most come in with smiles on their faces. My mission has always been to provide comprehensive and compassionate care for my patients and this breast augmentation method reduces recovery time with minimal pain and a quick return to 90% of normal activity. I have been performing breast augmentation for over 25 years and the quick recovery breast augmentation method is only possible with expert, careful surgery and specialized instruments. There is less trauma, and therefore dramatically less pain and recovery time. Most patients are back to work within a few days.
When women come in for a consult with me, most have heard horror stories of friends with pain for one, two, or even three weeks, who were unable to raise their arms to do such things as comb their hair or wash their face. Therefore, it is extremely gratifying to hear patients tell me that they had almost no pain and that they are back to work, caring for their children, or going about their normal activity.”
