Understanding the Procedure and Implant Options
Breast augmentation involves placing implants to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. Patients often have questions about implant types, sizes, and placement techniques. Dr. Wallach takes the time to guide patients through the decision-making process to ensure the final result aligns with their aesthetic goals. Choosing the right implant is crucial for achieving a natural appearance and maintaining long-term satisfaction.
Recovery Considerations in New York City
Recovering from breast augmentation in NYC comes with unique challenges. Many patients live in apartments or commute via public transportation, so planning ahead is essential. Recovery generally takes one to two weeks for most daily activities, but full healing can take several months. Patients should arrange for someone to assist with errands and transportation during the first few days after surgery. Elevating the upper body while resting and avoiding strenuous activity is important, especially in a city environment where walking and commuting are part of daily life.
- Arrange help with transportation and groceries during initial recovery
- Consider staying in a comfortable environment that allows rest and proper wound care
- Plan follow-up visits with your surgeon in Manhattan or nearby hospitals
What to Expect in Manhattan and Beyond
For NYC residents, recovery also includes navigating urban logistics. Crowded subways, stairs in older buildings, and busy streets can make moving around more challenging. Patients often schedule procedures with their daily routines in mind and may take short-term leave from work. Dr. Wallach works closely with patients to develop recovery plans that fit city living while prioritizing comfort and safety.

Breast augmentation can enhance confidence and provide long-lasting satisfaction when performed by a skilled, board-certified plastic surgeon. In New York City, understanding recovery logistics, travel considerations, and the importance of surgical artistry ensures that patients feel prepared and supported throughout the process.
