Questions about Breast Enhancement

Breast augmentation is a big decision and when it comes to your health and happiness, you can never do enough research. Dr. Sorokin loves to see his New Jersey and Philadelphia breast enhancement patients come to their consultation with a notepad and a list of questions. In his experience, informed patients make better patients.

While there is certainly no shortage of information available to New Jersey breast augmentation patients on the Internet, in magazines, on television shows, and from friends, Dr. Sorokin believes in fully educating his New Jersey and Philadelphia cosmetic surgery patients prior to their procedure. Here are a few questions you should ask your surgeon during your breast enhancement consultation:

1) What type of breast implants in New Jersey are right for me? Saline or silicone gel? Smooth or textured? Round or anatomical?

2) Which breast implant manufacturers do you work with? (A skilled New Jersey or Philadelphia breast enhancement surgeon should carry implants from both Allergan and Mentor.)

3) What size implant would you recommend for me?

4) Are you planning to place the implants above the muscle, under the muscle, or partially under the muscle?

5) What incision location would you recommend? Do you always use this incision? (A skilled surgeon will have experience successfully performing breast augmentation using several incision sites, including periareolar incisions and inframammary incisions.)

6) Do I need a breast lift in addition to or instead of an augmentation to achieve my desired goals?

The answers to these questions should be very patient-specific. Dr. Sorokin believes that these questions can only be answered after a thorough examination in which accurate measurements are taken and all options are thoroughly discussed with the patient.

At your consultation, Dr. Sorokin will be able to answer these and other questions in detail, reassuring you that he is an experienced breast surgeon.
