What Is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to increase breast size and enhance shape using breast implants or, in select cases, fat transfer. The procedure can also address asymmetry, volume loss after pregnancy or weight loss, and naturally underdeveloped breasts.
Implants may be silicone gel-filled or saline-filled, and the technique used is based on your body type, tissue characteristics, and personal preferences. When appropriate, fat transfer breast augmentation may be an option for patients seeking a modest increase using their own tissue.
What Happens During The NYC Breast Augmentation Consultation with Dr. Sabry?
During your visit, you can expect:
Your breast augmentation journey will begin with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Sabry. The consultation will start with a friendly discussion and progress into a comprehensive review of what you would like to achieve, your goals for breast augmentation, and your available options. Dr. Sabry will not hurry you, and we will make sure you are fully educated on all aspects of the procedure. His goal is for you to be able to make an informed choice, as this is the best way to achieve lasting happiness.
During your consultation, Dr. Sabry will discuss:
- Implant type (saline, silicone gel, or cohesive silicone)
- Implant size, shape, and profile
- Implant texture (smooth implants only)
- Incision options (inframammary or periareolar)
- Implant placement (submuscular, subglandular, or dual plane)
- Whether additional procedures may be beneficial
What Are My Breast Augmentation Options?
Since there is so much customization involved in a plastic surgery procedure like breast augmentation, it’s important to take your time and consider each aspect of the procedure in terms of the final look you want.
When you meet with Dr. Sabry for your first consultation, he will go through each element of breast augmentation and guide you through every option so that you can make a confident and informed choice of your own accord.
Silicone Breast Implants
Silicone implants are filled with cohesive silicone gel and are known for their soft, natural feel. They are a popular choice for patients seeking a realistic look and texture.
- Filled with silicone gel that closely mimics the feel of natural breast tissue
- Tend to look and feel more natural, especially in women with less natural breast tissue
- Less likely to ripple or wrinkle compared to saline implants
- Approved for use in patients 22 and older
- Require regular MRI screenings to check for silent ruptures
Saline Breast Implants
Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater and allow for smaller incisions and adjustable volume. While firmer than silicone, they can be an excellent option for select patients.
- Filled with sterile saltwater
- Can be adjusted after placement for size fine-tuning
- Require smaller incisions as they’re filled after insertion
- If rupture occurs, it’s immediately noticeable and the saline is safely absorbed by the body
- Approved for use in patients 18 and older
Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
Fat transfer breast augmentation uses your own fat (harvested through liposuction from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks) to enhance breast volume. This approach offers a natural look and feel and the added benefit of body contouring, though it is best suited for patients seeking a modest size increase.
Dr. Sabry has a special protocol for this procedure, which involves preparing the breasts using Evebra to improve graft take.

Am I An Ideal Candidate for Breast Augmentation?
You may be a good candidate for breast augmentation if you:
- Are in good overall health
- Have fully developed breasts
- Have realistic expectations
- Are at least 18 years old for saline implants or 22 for silicone implants
- Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have no active breast disease
Candidacy is determined during your consultation, where medical history and goals are reviewed carefully.
What Can I Expect with Breast Augmentation Surgery?
Breast augmentation is performed in our QUAD-A accredited operating room located within the practice. The procedure is typically done under general anesthesia.
Dr. Sabry utilizes his expertise and precision to place the implant in the best position. His focus during this time is safety, symmetry, clean contours, and a natural transition between the breast and the chest. The time the surgery takes will depend on his selected approach and whether other procedures, such as a breast lift, are also included in your surgical plan.
Can I Include a Breast Lift with Breast Augmentation?
When appropriate, some patients choose to combine their breast augmentation with breast lift surgery. Dr. Sabry may recommend this approach when the breasts have begun to sag, and the position of the nipples cannot be corrected with implants alone.
During breast lift surgery, Dr. Sabry reshapes and lifts the breasts. He removes excess skin and adjusts the position of the nipple-areola complex, and he can also reduce the size of the areolae. Combining a lift with augmentation can restore shape, volume, and elevation to improve the breasts’ overall appearance.
What Can I Expect During Recovery After Breast Augmentation?
Most patients are able to recover quickly and without too much discomfort after breast augmentation. After surgery, we will provide you with a detailed set of postoperative resources, which will include guidance on activities, supportive garments you will wear, as well as pain management protocols and prescriptions.
Most patients experience:
- Mild to moderate soreness and tightness initially
- Swelling that gradually subsides over several weeks
- Visible improvement immediately, with refinement over time
Many patients return to non-strenuous work within 1 to 2 weeks. Dr. Sabry and his team will monitor your healing closely with scheduled follow-up visits and remain accessible throughout recovery.
What Are the Benefits of Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation can provide several benefits, including:
- Enhanced breast size, shape, and improved body proportions
- Correction of asymmetry
- Restoration of volume after pregnancy or weight loss
- Increased confidence and comfort

Frequently Asked Questions: Breast Augmentation NYC
How long do breast implants last?
Whether or not they are meant to be lifetime devices, breast implants can last for many years. For safety, you will want to have them checked periodically by a doctor using appropriate imaging.
Will I need future surgery or implant replacement?
The longer you have implants, the higher the chance that they may eventually need to be replaced or removed. However, surgeons are well experienced in breast revision surgery and breast implant removal, and they are able to maintain the appearance of the breasts to the best extent possible.
What size implant is right for my body?
Choosing the right implant size requires thoughtful consideration of the look you would like to achieve and selecting an implant that aligns with those goals. You will work closely with Dr. Sabry, who understands how to choose an implant that gives you the best chance of achieving your desired outcome.
Can breast augmentation correct uneven nipples or areolas?
Breast augmentation alone cannot correct uneven nipples or areolas, nor can it lift the nipples to a higher position if that is your goal. In these cases, breast lift surgery may be the better option. A breast lift can also be combined with breast augmentation to enjoy the benefits of both procedures in one surgery.
What happens if I gain or lose weight after surgery?
Gaining or losing a significant amount of weight after breast augmentation may affect the appearance of your results. It is best to maintain a consistent diet and exercise plan both before and after surgery.
Can breast augmentation be revised or reversed later?
Yes, breast augmentation can be revised, and implants can be removed later if desired. This may be due to bodily changes, lifestyle changes, shifts in priorities or identity, or other factors.
How do I find the best breast augmentation surgeon in NYC?
You’ll want to consider a variety of factors when evaluating a surgeon. First and foremost, they should be qualified, board-certified, and have a clear track record of success and patient satisfaction. It also helps if they have awards and high ratings that span many years or even decades. Finally, you should get a sense of the surgeon’s personality during your consultation to ensure they are listening carefully and responding appropriately to your questions and concerns.
