Breast Augmentation in New Jersey and New York
Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Gordon Kaplan specializes in breast augmentation for New Jersey and New York patients.
A breast augmentation is a very custom and personalized procedure. Whether your goal is to restore lost volume after pregnancy, correct asymmetries, or simply feel more confident in clothing or swimwear, Dr. Kaplan is committed to providing you with natural results that flatter your body and your breasts.
Breast augmentation surgery involves breast implants or fat, referred to as fat transfer breast augmentation, to increase the size of your breasts or restore breast volume that has been lost after weight reduction or pregnancy. This surgical procedure is clinically referred to as augmentation mammaplasty.

The Breast Augmentation Surgery
Most breast augmentations are performed under general anesthesia. An incision is usually made in the inframmary crease (the folder under the breast) or within the Areola, depending on preoperative breast shape and size. The implant will either be placed above or below the muscle depending on preoperative examination.
Recovery From a Breast Augmentation
Some swelling, bruising, or soreness is typical after surgery but will decline over several days. Dr. Kaplan’s gentle surgical techniques will allow you able to resume your normal daily activities in about a week. More strenuous exercise or heavy lifting should be avoided for up to 4 to 6 weeks.
Our postoperative Scar Prevention Protocol has been refined to limit scarring and capsule formation for optimal results.
