Beautiful Breasts

Patients come to Dr. Teitelbaum from around the world for breast augmentation. Some come because of a satisfied friend, a magazine article, his reputation, or perhaps interest in a pain-free recovery.

But they all say the same thing: Dr. Teitelbaum’s photo book shows the best results they have seen anywhere. When you come in for your personalized consultation, you will be able to peruse literally hundreds of photos of women at all different stages of their recovery, and with literally every possible body type and implant choice. You will be stunned by the diversity of beautiful results!

Why does Dr. Teitelbaum have this reputation? While all surgeons give lip-service to creating natural results, Dr. Teitelbaum really means it. Many factors contribute to creating the beautiful and natural result.

The single most important factor is the size and shape of the implant: too big looks bulgy and round and too small looks empty and bottom-heavy. Many surgeons determine implant size by having patients put rice or water in a bra. But doing so totally ignores the shape of your breasts! Dr. Teitelbaum takes multiple meticulous measurements that enable him to tell you the ideal size and shape for your breasts.

In fact, he even is patenting a device to help other surgeons make the proper implant selection based upon each woman’s breast.

He then discusses with you whether the ideal implant for your breast creates a breast of the size that you want. He has a beautiful aesthetic eye, and he will discuss with you how well the ideal implant for your breast will fit in proportion to your body.

For a result to be beautiful, the breast implant must not sit too high or too low, and both sides must be even. Symmetry is a very important property of beauty. No matter what incision he uses, Dr. Teitelbaum always operates “under direct vision,” so that he is precise and accurate in the placement of breast implants. Believe it or not, many surgeons still perform this operation “blindly,” slipping a finger or an instrument through an incision to blindly create the pocket for the implant. This method is inaccurate, painful, and results in a longer recovery and an imperfect result.

The appearance of a breast can be marred by a conspicuous scar. For that reason, Dr. Teitelbaum uses incisions that are well-hidden and inconspicuous, but that still allow for the creation of an accurate pocket and an easy recovery.
