As a privately practicing plastic surgeon based in Staten Island, New York, Dr. Keith S. Berman performs a variety of procedures on the face and body. Keith Berman, MD, has performed numerous breast augmentation procedures for women seeking to alter their silhouettes. Patients seeking breast implantation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, have a number of options related to implant filling and shape. Some patients choose structured saline implants, which contain sterile salt water inserted within a structure designed to mimic natural breast shape. Other patients prefer the more natural feel of silicone implants. A newer variety of implant known as the “gummy bear” also contains silicone, though the compound inside this type of breast implant is thicker and thus supports a firmer breast structure. Patients who choose this model have the option of selecting a shaped implant, whereas more traditional implants are universally round. Some patients, for example, request a gentle downward slope instead of the fuller upper breast of the traditional implant. Patients may also be able to choose the size and profile of the implant. Many smaller patients, for example, require a higher profile to avoid excess width at the base. Any patient considering an implant should consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to determine the most appropriate choices overall.
