Preservé Breast Augmentation in Westchester County, NY
Breast augmentation has evolved significantly in recent years, giving women more options for achieving beautiful, natural-looking results with less downtime. If you want fuller breasts without the longer recovery often associated with traditional procedures, Preservé™ breast augmentation may be the answer.
At his Westchester County practice, Dr. Joshua Greenwald performs this advanced breast enhancement technique with patient comfort, safety, and long-lasting outcomes in mind. As one of the first plastic surgeons in the New York metro area to offer Preservé breast augmentation, Dr. Greenwald combines extensive surgical experience with modern technology.
What Is Preservé Breast Augmentation?
Preservé breast augmentation is an advanced, minimally invasive breast enhancement technique designed specifically to preserve existing tissue and nipple sensation whenever possible. Using patented technologies, specialized instruments, and Motiva Ergonomix® implants, this method enhances volume while maintaining much of the breast’s existing anatomy.
Unlike traditional approaches that may involve more extensive tissue disruption, the Preservé method carefully creates space for the implant by gently moving and elongating supporting breast structures rather than cutting through them. This may help reduce trauma, minimize swelling and bruising, preserve sensation, and promote faster healing.
About Motiva SmoothSilk Ergonomix Implants
Preservé breast augmentation utilizes Motiva SmoothSilk Ergonomix implants, which uniquely mimic the look, feel, and movement of a natural breast. These implants can adapt their shape based on body position, appearing rounder when lying down and more teardrop-shaped when standing.
Because these implants move with the body, many patients appreciate their soft feel and realistic appearance. The implant design also allows for insertion through smaller incisions, reducing visible scarring and supporting the minimally invasive nature of the Preservé procedure.
Benefits of Preservé Breast Augmentation
Many women are drawn to Preservé because it offers a more conservative, tissue-preserving approach to breast enhancement. Benefits may include:
- Smaller incisions
- Reduced swelling and bruising
- Faster recovery times
- Minimal disruption to chest muscles
- Reduced risk of loss of nipple sensation
- Natural-looking breast shape and movement
- Long-lasting support for the implant
- Ability to return to many normal activities quickly
- Less postoperative discomfort
- Reduced visible scarring
Because the chest muscle remains intact during surgery, patients often experience less discomfort than with traditional augmentation methods.
Who Is a Candidate for Preservé?
Candidates are often women who:
- Want natural-looking enhancement
- Are seeking a modest increase, usually around one to one-and-a-half cup sizes
- Prefer a less invasive surgical option
- Have good skin elasticity
- Desire less downtime
- Want to preserve the breast’s innate support structures
- Are seeking their first breast augmentation procedure
In some cases, Preservé may also be appropriate for women seeking their first breast augmentation who also need a breast lift.
The Art of Preservé
The Preservé procedure involves:
- Personalized Measurements and Planning: Dr. Greenwald will take detailed measurements of your breasts to help optimize your results and select an implant tailored to your anatomy.
- Creating the Implant Tunnel: After numbing the area, a small incision is made within the inframammary fold, or breast crease. Dr. Greenwald then uses the Motiva® Channel™ Dissector to create a tunnel without cutting through tissue.
- Precise Pocket Creation: A Motiva® Inflatable Balloon tool is used to gently move structures aside and create a precise implant pocket that closely matches the dimensions of the implant being placed.
- Implant Placement: Finally, the implant is inserted into the newly created space while preserving much of the breast tissue’s functionality, including nipple sensation and chest muscle integrity.
Recovery After Preservé Breast Augmentation
One of the most appealing aspects of Preservé breast augmentation is the recovery process. Because the procedure is less invasive and may be performed under twilight anesthesia, many patients are surprised by how quickly they feel comfortable returning to light daily activities.
Healing often includes:
- Mild swelling and soreness for a few days
- Minimal bruising
- Returning to many normal activities the next day
- Gradual improvement in breast shape over time
