Arrival for Surgery

When you arrive, you (and a guest if preferred) will be shown to your pre-op room, which you will return to after surgery for your post-op care to maximize your comfort and privacy.

During the Procedure

Natural light in the operating suite provides a view of the sky as you enter and makes the space more welcoming while still providing the highest level of privacy.

During the surgery, Dr. Lefkowitz will place implants (silicone or saline) based on your preference to add volume and fullness as well as removing any excess skin to help reshape the breasts. He will also reposition the nipple to a more youthful and attractive position that gives a more lifted appearance to the breasts.

A variety of skin incisions/scars may be utilized depending on your particular situation. This may include incisions/scars only around your areola or the more commonly performed pattern that goes around the areola, down vertically and horizontally within the natural breast crease. This is called an “anchor, Wise, or inverted T” incision.
