Precision Behind Every Curve

Dr. Tommaso Addona brings a rare combination of experience to breast augmentation, having spent nearly two decades performing some of the most complex breast reconstruction procedures in the field alongside a growing cosmetic practice. That reconstructive foundation translates directly into a more nuanced, tissue-conscious approach to augmentation, one built on precise planning rather than a standardized technique applied to every patient. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Addona to explore an approach to breast augmentation shaped by nearly two decades of reconstructive expertise.

What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that increases breast size and improves shape using implants, a patient's own fat, or a combination of both. It remains one of the most customizable procedures in aesthetic surgery, with meaningful variation in implant type, size, placement, and incision approach. Dr. Addona is trained in the Preservé Breast Augmentation Method, a tissue-preserving approach that combines low-impact surgical technique with Motiva SmoothSilk Ergonomix2 implants.

Rather than cutting through native tissue, this method gently elongates it, aiming to preserve breast sensation and long-term structural support while achieving balanced, natural-looking results.

Each patient's anatomy determines the ideal implant size, profile, and placement, whether above or below the chest muscle, all of which are discussed in detail during consultation.

Benefits of Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation can meaningfully enhance breast size, shape, and overall proportion, offering benefits such as:

  • Increased breast volume and improved symmetry
  • Enhanced breast shape and projection
  • Restored fullness following pregnancy, weight loss, or aging
  • A tissue-preserving option through the Preservé technique for eligible patients
  • Long-lasting results with proper implant maintenance and care
  • Customizable outcomes based on implant type, size, and placement

Are You a Candidate for Breast Augmentation?

Ideal candidates for breast augmentation in NYC are healthy adults seeking increased breast volume, improved symmetry, or restored fullness following pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight changes. Candidates should have realistic expectations and be in good overall health prior to surgery.

Patients considering the Preservé technique specifically should have breast tissue and anatomy suited to this tissue-conserving approach, which Dr. Addona will evaluate closely during your consultation. 

Patients seeking a more natural augmentation using their own fat rather than implants may be better suited to fat transfer breast augmentation, an alternative option also offered by the practice.

What to Expect During Your Breast Augmentation Procedure

Every breast augmentation in NYC, Greenwich, & Westchester County with Dr. Addona begins with an in-depth consultation, during which he reviews your anatomy, aesthetic goals, and lifestyle to determine the ideal implant type, size, and placement for your body.

The Procedure

Breast augmentation is typically performed under general anesthesia and usually takes one to two hours. Depending on the technique selected, Dr. Addona places the implant through a discreet incision, positioning it either above or below the chest muscle based on your anatomy and goals. Patients pursuing the Preservé method benefit from a more conservative surgical approach designed to minimize tissue trauma and support a smoother, faster recovery, using specialized instrumentation alongside Motiva implants.

After Surgery

Most patients return home the same day. Dr. Addona remains personally accessible throughout recovery, closely monitoring healing and communicating directly with each patient rather than routing follow-up through the broader care team.

Dr. Addona & his staff are so wonderful. Professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and caring. I was blessed to have them do my breast reconstruction, and I recommend him to anyone. In a stressful time, dealing with cancer, it was such a blessing to have them in my corner helping me through.

Recovery & Results After Breast Augmentation

Recovery from breast augmentation varies depending on implant placement and the surgical technique used.

The First Two Weeks

Swelling, tightness, and mild discomfort are common initially, particularly if implants are placed beneath the muscle. Most patients feel comfortable resuming light activities within one to two weeks.

The Following Weeks

Implants continue to settle into their final position over the following several weeks, a process sometimes referred to as drop and fluff, as swelling resolves and the breasts adopt a more natural shape.

Long-Term Results

Final results are typically apparent within a few months, once swelling has fully resolved and the implants have settled completely. Results generally remain stable for many years with routine monitoring.

Why Choose Dr. Addona?

Few surgeons bring the depth of breast anatomy experience that Dr. Addona has developed through extensive reconstructive practice, including some of the most technically demanding breast surgery performed today.

As a Preservé-trained surgeon, he offers patients an additional, tissue-conscious option grounded in this same reconstructive precision, tailored individually rather than applied as a single standardized technique.

Breast Augmentation Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between saline and silicone implants?

Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater, while silicone implants contain a cohesive gel designed to feel closer to natural breast tissue. Dr. Addona will help determine the best option based on your anatomy and goals.

How long do breast implants typically last?

While many implants last well over a decade, they are not considered lifetime devices, and most patients should anticipate the possibility of a future revision procedure at some point.

What makes the Preservé method different from traditional breast augmentation?

The Preservé approach uses specialized instrumentation and technique to gently elongate rather than cut native tissue, aiming to better preserve breast sensation and long-term structural support for eligible patients.

Will breast augmentation affect my ability to breastfeed?

Most patients retain the ability to breastfeed after augmentation, though this depends on implant placement and incision location, which will be discussed thoroughly during your consultation.

Is breast augmentation painful?

Discomfort varies depending on implant placement, with submuscular placement generally involving more initial tightness than implants placed above the muscle, though both are well managed during recovery.

Can breast augmentation be combined with a breast lift?

Yes. Many patients benefit from combining augmentation with a lift when there is both volume loss and sagging, a combined procedure that is evaluated individually during consultation.
