Procedures — Breast
A natural result, planned with you.
Breast augmentation adds volume and improves shape and symmetry with an implant. The decisions that matter — implant type, size, and placement — are made with you, not for you. The goal is a breast that looks and feels natural and fits your frame.
These are the questions patients ask most. Each one gets real time at your consultation.
Most healthy women who want more volume, better symmetry, or fullness back after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight change are good candidates. What matters is your health, your anatomy, and realistic expectations about what an implant can and can't do. The honest answer comes after an exam and a conversation.
Both are FDA-approved, and both are on the table. Most patients choose silicone because it feels closest to natural breast tissue. Saline is a reasonable choice in certain situations. Dr. Ganz will explain the trade-offs and tell you which he would recommend for you, and why.
Dr. Ganz places implants below the chest muscle. With more of your own tissue covering the implant, the upper breast slopes more naturally, edges and rippling are less likely to show (especially if you're slim), and your breast tissue is easier to read on a mammogram. Placement below the muscle also carries a lower risk of capsular contracture — the most common implant complication, where the scar tissue your body naturally forms around any implant tightens over time and can make the breast feel hard or look distorted.
The incision sits in the crease under the breast, so the scar is hidden where the breast meets the chest. It's a few centimeters long, out of sight when you're standing, and fades over the first year.
Together, and not from a menu. Dr. Ganz measures your frame and your tissue, listens to how you want to look, and narrows it to a small range of implants that fits both. You'll understand the reasoning before anything is decided.
Sore and tight for the first few days is the usual description — more like a hard chest workout than sharp pain. You'll be up and walking the same day. Most patients are back at a desk within about a week, and hard exercise waits several weeks. You'll leave with a written recovery plan, and Dr. Ganz follows you closely.
It's a conversation, not a pitch. Dr. Ganz examines and measures, asks what you want to change and why, and explains your options — implant type, size, placement, incision — in plain language. You build the plan together. And if he thinks an implant isn't the right answer for you, he'll say that too.
Not Sure Where to Start?
You don't need to know the name of the procedure you need. Tell Dr. Ganz what bothers you, what you would like to change, and what matters most to you. He'll give you an honest opinion about your options and what is realistically achievable.
