Breast Plastic Surgery in NYC & Middletown, NY

Plastic Surgery of the Breast

When approaching the breast, the most important parameters are size, shape, and symmetry. Given the societal implications of this part of the anatomy, it is important to consider the motivations for seeking this change, the emotional and relationship status of the patient, as well as hormonal age and future pregnancy plans, if any.

Our multidisciplinary team will do a complete evaluation to enhance your chances of achieving your goals of beauty, as well as health and happiness. It is often not simply the physical appearance of the breast.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do breast implants last?

The modern breast implants we utilize at SYA can stay in forever, barring damage, infection, or hard scarring. It is important to report any changes to your surgeon immediately to ensure the best care

Do I have to wear a bra after a breast lift?

The short answer is yes. While your breasts are restored to their ideal position, gravity will want to pull them down. Wearing a supportive bra will slow this process.

How many cup sizes can you remove in a breast reduction?

The key is to leave behind enough breast tissue to support blood supply to the nipple and areola, and this depends on how low it sits.

Our surgeon has removed over 3000 grams from each side in a previous case. That is over 13 lbs.

Where are the scars in a breast lift?

It depends on the patient. Sometimes, just around the areola in a circle, sometimes a lollipop pattern, and others an anchor. A consult will tell.

Why are breast implants needed if you are trying to reduce breast size?

Some patients want to reduce the size of their breasts but also want fullness to the upper part of the breast, even without a bra.

In these cases, we reduce the natural tissue a little more so that adding the implant still leaves them with the size and look they desire.

Who is a candidate for breast plastic surgery?

Ideal candidates for breast plastic surgery are adults in overall good physical and mental health who are willing to recover from surgery and can do so without complications. Candidates for breast plastic surgery will benefit from the procedure if they:

  • Are dissatisfied with their breast shape
  • Have lost volume in their breasts after pregnancy, weight loss, and aging.
  • Have asymmetry.
  • Have breasts that have failed to develop normally.
  • Need breast reconstruction after a mastectomy.
  • Need a breast reduction to relieve painful symptoms.
  • Want a breast augmentation to achieve aesthetic goals.
  • Need a breast implant replacement.
Who should not get breast plastic surgery?

Although breast plastic surgery procedures are safe and effective, they may not be for everyone.

If you are someone who has had complications healing from surgery in the past, you may not qualify as a candidate for breast plastic surgery. Additionally, women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or still plan to have children may not be candidates either.

Patients with a history of breast cancer, or those who have had an abnormal mammogram may be at an increased risk of complications after surgery.

Certain health conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, COPD, and diabetes may disqualify you from becoming a qualified candidate for breast plastic surgery.

How long is recovery after breast plastic surgery?

The recovery process will vary from patient to patient, depending on the kind of procedure you received, your body’s ability to heal, and your overall health.

However, on average, a full recovery from breast plastic surgery can take up to six weeks. Most patients are able to see improvements in the expected postoperative results like swelling and tenderness within one to two weeks and may return back to non-physically demanding work at this time, but six weeks is the average timeframe for a full recovery.

Are there any risks with breast plastic surgery?

Despite being one of the most common plastic surgery procedures, surgical treatments involving the breasts can include a few risks. These risks are:

  • Anesthesia risks
  • Excessive bleeding
  • Changes in nipple or breast sensation
  • Seroma
  • Hematoma
  • Implant leakage or rupture
  • Asymmetry
  • Infection
  • Chronic pain
  • Scarring
  • The need for revision surgery

During a consultation at SY Aesthetics, you’ll be able to discuss your overall health, aesthetic goals, and expectations from breast plastic surgery with your surgeon.
