Dr. Keith S. Berman works as an MD in Staten Island, New York, where he performs plastic surgery procedures for the face, breast, and body. Dr. Keith S. Berman's services include breast implants, which have changed significantly thanks to recent technological developments. Gel or “gummy bear” implants became available in the United States in the 2010s, though they were invented decades before. These implants, unlike traditional implants, retain their shape even when punctured or cut, and as a result have a drastically reduced rupture rate and are less likely to need replacement. They also typically feel soft and natural. Another recent development, fat transfer breast augmentation, sees fat removed from another part of the body, such as the back, thighs, or arms, and injected into the patient's breasts. This can provide a modest increase in breast size and improve the overall contour, but will not provide major increases in size. While this approach does not risk allergic reaction or rupture, some fat cells may fail to integrate into their new placement, leading to subsequent excretion by the body and less dramatic results than may have been hoped for.
