Breast Surgery Before & After
Breast cancer often requires that a lump be removed from a breast. Mastectomy is done as a precautionary procedure when there’s a threat of cancer or it’s spread so much that the safest route is to remove a whole breast or both breasts. While treatment is medically necessary, you also want to be treated by breast plastic surgeons who understand the need for aesthetically pleasing breasts.

What’s the Ideal Breast Size?
There is no perfect breast size. Female breasts serve both a functional and an aesthetic purpose. While they’re mammary glands that feed newborns, they also add balance to the female form. Societal norms over the years have varied in what’s considered the ideal breast size. In the 1960s, for example, small breasts were in vogue, while in the 1990s, boob enhancement became safer and more affordable, leading to a wave of popularity.
Boob jobs flourished in 2000 and beyond as the topic became more and more acceptable and prominent in the media. As every aspect of body contouring through cosmetic surgery becomes more mainstream, women, men and non-binary alike accept the idea that freedom means you can have whatever body shape makes you happy and completes the image you have of yourself.
The ideal breast size is one that:
- Provides you with the ultimate confidence in yourself
- Appeals to your sense of style and beauty
- Gets you noticed for parts in theater or television
- Allows you to wear the clothes you prefer
- Projects the image that you see for yourself

What Conditions Are Treated by a Breast Surgeon in NYC?
Not all breast surgery is done for cosmetic reasons. Breast reduction, technically called mammoplasty, is a procedure that’s performed when large breasts lead to other co-occurring problems, such as back and neck pain. When prescribed by a doctor for medical purposes, breast reduction may be covered by your insurance company. Meanwhile, breast reduction done for purely cosmetic reason usually isn’t.

Other conditions treated by a breast plastic surgeon include:
Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia is a condition that causes men to develop large breasts, which is often treated with chest liposuction
Macromastia
Macromastia, which is the name of abnormally large breasts, typically seen in teenagers, that can lead to further complications in addition to back pain, such as pain in the chest wall and tingling and numbness in the fingers, hands and arms
Non-invasive breast cancer
Non-invasive breast cancer, which is defined as being potentially pre-cancerous and may be due to unexplainable lumps in your breast
Invasive breast cancer
Invasive breast cancer treated by a mastectomy that’s very often followed up with surgery to place breast implants during the same surgical procedure

What Are Different Kinds of Breast Surgery in NYC?
The primary goal of any kind of breast surgery is to modify your breasts.
In addition to treating cancer and other disorders, different kinds of breast surgery address various issues, such as breasts that are:
- Too large
- Too small
- Uneven or lopsided
- Drooping or sagging
- Too fatty on men
- In danger due to implant malfunction
- Not comfortable because of poorly done implants
- Necessary as part of your transitioning
Procedures designed to address these issues include:
- Breast reduction. This surgery may involve some lipoplasty. It’s done in concert with other procedures, like liposuction of chin, back lipo or a tummy tuck procedure.
- Fat transfer augmentation. This involving taking fat from one area, such as your hips, and moving it to your breasts. It’s ideal if you only want to increase your cup size by one size or less.
- Saline or silicone implants. These materials represent your implant choices. They’ve become popular and safer than ever, especially when you rely on the best breast surgeon in NYC.
- Breast lift. This procedure may be all you need to regain your youthful appearance, particularly if you’ve maintained your weight and continue to exercise, building core muscles to support your figure.
- Male lipo. This is one of the fastest growing areas of plastic surgery, as men finally recognize how much better they can feel with just a little extra help.
- Breast implant removal. Designed to reverse a decision you made when you were younger, this procedure is safe in the hands of the right doctor.
- Breast implant revision or replacement. Breast implants last a long time, but not forever. This procedure keeps you healthy and happy, either because of implant damage or just because you now want a different look as you get a little older.

What’s Involved in Breast Plastic Surgery Treatments?
Many breast surgeries are performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you go home following a short period of recovery at your breast plastic surgeons' practice. More in-depth procedures, like mastectomy followed by implants, require a two-to-three-day hospital stay. But Dr. Shokrian and his team make sure you feel supported no matter where you’re recovering.
The length of breast surgery in NYC varies from about one hour to more than three or four, depending on what’s being done.
The process for completing most breast surgery operations follows a pretty standard set of steps that include:
- IV sedation or general anesthesia that makes you comfortable or puts you out
- Incisions made in the least noticeable places along your breasts and in line with the desired outcome
- Your nipples and areolas may be removed, depending on the type of surgery
- Implants placed, fat suctioned out or skin tightened to achieve your final look
- Incisions closed with sutures; nipples and areolas reattached in the proper positions

How Long Is Breast Surgery Recovery?
Breast surgery recovery time varies depending on what you had done and how extensive the process was. A breast lift, for example, may require just a couple days rest before returning to light duty, and a month or so before you can return to your regular workout routine.
More invasive procedures like breast augmentation and breast reduction require a steadier and longer pace until you complete your full recovery.
Recommendations along the way to ensure the quickest, safest and most productive recovery include:
- Feeling sore for a couple weeks
- Taking pain medication as prescribed
- Visiting you surgeon after about 14 days for a checkup and to have stitches removed if necessary
- Resting whenever you feel tired
- Avoiding heavy lifting for about six weeks
- Resisting the urge to drive for at least a couple weeks or until your doctor gives you the green light
- Refraining from soaking in a tub for about four weeks
- Eating a normal, healthy diet
- Following your breast surgeon’s recommendations for sleeping positions
- Drinking plenty of fluids
- Walking every day, increasing the length of walks over time
