Also known as Augmentation Mammoplasty, the procedure involves using implants to fulfill your desire for fuller breasts or to restore breast volume lost after weight reduction or pregnancy. Implants also may be used to reconstruct a breast after mastectomy or injury.
Breast augmentation, or Augmentation Mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure to enhance the size and shape of a woman’s breast for a number of reasons: To enhance the body contour of a woman who, for personal reasons, feels her breast size is too small; To correct a reduction in breast volume after pregnancy; To balance a difference in breast size; or as a reconstructive technique following breast surgery. By inserting an implant behind each breast, we are able to increase a woman’s breast size. Usually, a small incision is made either under the breast, around the areola (the dark skin around the nipple), or in the armpit. A pocket is created for the implant either behind the breast tissue or behind the chest muscle.
“As soon as I made the phone call to set up an appointment with Dr. Jacobs for a consultation for a breast aug, I knew I was going to like the office. The lady who scheduled my appointment was very nice and very helpful regarding concerns and questions I had about the procedure. When I arrived, (which by the way, the office is beautiful) I was greeted with smiles, and as soon as I finished filling out papers I was brought in. Estimated wait time was about 3 mins. Once in the consultation room, I was given my options of what type of implants I wanted, as well as the size. Overall I was truly happy with the service I was given. The doctor and his staff are all very friendly and very caring. They make you feel like you’re right at home, and the best part was that they have a certified operating room in their facility, which allowed me to have a more one-on-one personal care after my surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Jacobs because he did a great job and treated me very nice. Thank you!

Pre-Procedure Post Procedure
Prior to surgery, Dr. Baruch Jacobs will examine the size and shape of your breasts, the quality of your skin and the position of your nipples. Depending on your desired results, he will discuss with you the optimal incision, position and size of your implants. You will also be given specific instructions regarding what you will need to do in the days immediately before your surgery.
Although everyone heals at a different rate, you can expect that most of the swelling will subside within several weeks. Many women find that their new figure gives them a greater sense of self-confidence.
