Clinically referred to as augmentation mammaplasty, the procedure is cosmetically used to:

• Enlarge a naturally small breast, most commonly the result of heredity
• Restore breast volume lost following pregnancy, as a result of breast-feeding or weight lost
• Achieve better symmetry when breasts are moderately disproportionate in size and shape

The most common incisions Dr. Albert uses to perform breast augmentation are:

• the periareolar area (the pigmented skin surrounding the nipple)
• an inframammary incision (underneath in the breast fold)
• an axillary incision (in the underarm area)
• Transumbilical Breast Augmentation

What is Transumbilical Breast Augmentation?
Transumbilical Breast Augmentation is a specialized procedure performed by only a handful of surgeons within the country. This procedure is performed through a small incision within the belly button, leaving no visual scar on the breast. The other advantage of this technique is a shorter recovery time.
Dr. Albert is a clinical investigator for the FDA approved “silicone implant research study. This limited study allows him to use the new generation “gummi-bear” implants in patients who meet the approved criteria.

Breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, is often done to uplift and improve the shape of a female breast that:

• Sags or is pendulous, but is proportionate with the body frame
• Has lost firmness and skin elasticity
• Has a flatter, elongated shape
• When unsupported, the nipple falls below the breast crease
• Has a nipple and areola (the pigmented skin surrounding the nipple) that point downward
• Has stretched skin and an enlarged areola

Dr. Albert specializes in minimal incision breast lift techniques.
