As plastic surgeons, we are trained to use a very refined eye to try to achieve the best appearance in anything we do. For breast augmentation, something I specialize in and have for nearly 11 years in practice, this involves striving to create the best shape and symmetry for the breasts. It is even commonplace at national meetings for plastic […]

Over time, the majority of women begin to experience some degree of drooping and/or volume loss in the breasts due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, changes in weight, or simply the process of aging. Depending on the severity of breast sagging and volume loss, individuals interested in rejuvenating the appearance of their breasts may greatly benefit from either a breast augmentation, breast […]

At Boynton Plastic Surgery, one of my particular areas of specialty is breast enhancement surgery after pregnancy and breastfeeding. The majority of women experience some degree of “tissue deflation” in the breasts after the cessation of breastfeeding, and breast augmentation can often be an excellent way to restore this lost volume. There are numerous types of breast implants that can […]

If you notice irregularities in regard to the size and/or positioning of your implants immediately after breast augmentation, it’s not time to panic. Some initial swelling in the breasts is a common side effect of surgery, and it often occurs in varying degrees that may make the breasts appear uneven in the first few days – or even weeks – […]

At Boynton Plastic Surgery, all breast augmentation procedures I perform are subpectoral, meaning the implants are placed under the muscle.

As mentioned in my previous blog post, capsular contracture is a condition characterized by the hardening and contraction of scar tissue around breast implants, sometimes resulting in discomfort, firmness of the implant, and a distorted breast shape. When performing breast augmentation – or any other surgery involving implants – I often employ three techniques that I have found can help […]

When a breast implant – or any foreign object – is introduced into the body, the natural response for the body is to encapsulate the “intruder” inside a thin layer of scar tissue (which we call a “capsule”) to “wall it off” and prevent it from causing harm to other tissues. The majority of the time, this capsule remains extremely […]
