Dr. Teitelbaum's approach to breast augmentation is a direct result of years of studying, writing, and lecturing on the subject. He'd like to share with you a few of the points that distinguish him from other aesthetic surgeons:
"Augmentation affects your breasts for the rest of your life-a responsibility I take very seriously. Every surgical decision we make together-from the incision site to the pocket location to the type and size of implant-should further the goal of making your breasts look their absolute best, in the safest way possible. We should make choices that give you a beautiful breast not just this year and next, but for many years beyond that.
My personal aesthetic gravitates toward breasts that are beautiful and natural, and my patients generally share this approach. Most of them specifically say that they do not want to look "fake"; unless a patient specifically requests otherwise, this is always my goal. I tell patients what I believe will look best for them and be best for their bodies, but ultimately you - the patient - is the one who decides what will be done. I will work hard to make sure that I understand what you want before proceeding with any surgery.
Here's what you can expect from me. First, an unparalleled consultation experience. Many plastic surgeons actually pass you off to a patient coordinator, or they may spend only a few moments with you. I schedule a large block of time for each prospective patient, and will take as much time as you need to discuss how you've always wanted your breasts to look, and any concerns you may have. Whether you have the surgery done by me, by someone else, or not at all, you will be sure to leave my office with a dramatically enhanced understanding of how an augmentation could change how you look.
This dialogue will continue throughout our entire relationship as doctor and patient. Far too often I hear other surgeons' patients complain that their augmentation didn't give them the results they wanted or expected. This is unacceptable to me, which is why I will explain the implications and consequences of each decision we make together, and stay in constant contact to make sure you know exactly what to expect.
I put an enormous amount of effort into keeping up to date with medical advances, and am proud to have my own state-of-the-art surgical facility. And while I don't rush to embrace every innovation, through my own research, I have been able to improve upon breast augmentation techniques. In fact, I instruct other surgeons in how to minimize recovery time and pain in initial breast augmentation based on my own clinical studies.
Finally, I think it is important to stay in close contact with a patient after surgery. No matter how busy our office gets, you can expect regular follow-ups and the kind of top-notch postoperative care I consider necessary to ensure the best possible results, and I give out my cell phone number to all surgical patients so that I am easily within reach. I'm honored when any patient chooses me to be her surgeon, and I strive to make sure my conduct always reflects that feeling."
