Both Natrelle INSPIRA® “gummy bear” implants and the IDEAL (Saline) IMPLANT® can provide excellent breast augmentation results, but your choice is best determined after a consultation with Dr. Friedlander.
Natrelle INSPIRA® “gummy bear” Implants are round, highly cohesive, silicone gel implants that can provide you with more fullness and volume in the breasts.
The IDEAL IMPLANT® combines the benefits of both silicone and saline breast implants to create a natural and aesthetically pleasing breast shape.
Fat Transfer is an alternative to implants that uses liposuction to remove excess fat from other areas of your body. The fat will be injected into the breasts for a more natural appearance.
The main difference between the two implant types is that gummy bear implants are firmer and have a more structured shape. This makes them perfect for women who want more lift and fullness in their breasts. IDEAL implants are softer and have a more natural shape. They are a good choice for women who want a more subtle breast enhancement.
Dr. Friedlander will help you choose the best implant type for your body type and goals. She has extensive experience with both gummy bear and IDEAL implants, so she can help you make the best decision for your needs.
Another reason these implants are a good choice is that they come in different sizes. This allows you to choose the right size for your body type and goals.
Round implants have varying profiles, which determine how far forward the implants will project from your chest or ultimately how large and natural they look. Profiles can range from low to moderate to high.

Your implant size will have a significant impact on your final results. During your consultation, Dr. Friedlander will show you photographs of patients with different body builds and breast sizes to give you a better idea of how your natural shape will affect the results. This will give you an idea of how your new breasts will look and feel. Dr. Friedlander would like you to keep a few things in mind choosing the size of your breast implants:
All bras are different, and cup sizes vary widely. In the end, it doesn't matter what cup size you wear; it matters that you like how you look. Don't be afraid to explore your options, and keep an open mind in doing so. Dr. Friedlander will guide you and help you decide if an implant size is right for you.
The amount of natural breast tissue you have will play a part in determining the appropriate size of your implants. You want to make sure your implants naturally complement your figure.
Most women not only want their breasts to look natural but also proportional. Proportion is determined by a woman's height, weight, and body dimensions, not necessarily cup size. Be sure you communicate your exact aesthetic goals to Dr. Friedlander.

Dr. Friedlander prefers to place breast implants under the pectoral muscle (submuscular or dual plane placement) for several reasons. This is the preferred placement method for future mammograms since it reduces any interference the implants may have with effective scans.
This placement also reduces the development of scar tissue around the implant (called capsular contracture), and it creates a natural breast aesthetic, ensuring a gentle slope to the upper portion of the breast while concealing the edges of the implant. Subglandular placement positions the implants under the breast tissue but above the chest muscle and offers an appealing cleavage line and roundness to the breasts for women with adequate existing breast tissue.

Dr. Friedlander performs most of her breast augmentations in New Jersey using an inframammary incision. This approach is used by most surgeons since it offers the greatest amount of precision. There are different types of incisions for breast augmentation, and the type that is right for you will depend on your circumstances. The most common types of incisions are:
After anesthesia is administered, Dr. Friedlander will place the implants according to the predetermined surgical plan. Implant placement should be centered behind the nipple, but the precise position can vary depending on the patient's chest anatomy and will be affected by the size and shape of the breast, the location of the nipples, the position of the natural fold, and the curvature of the spine or ribs. Once the implants are in the correct position, the incisions will be closed with sutures and bandaged. You will be closely monitored in the recovery area after surgery.
Most women report that recovery is more comfortable than expected.
Dr. Friedlander uses a protocol for enhanced recovery after surgery. Her New Jersey breast augmentation patients rarely require any narcotic while using the ERAS protocol, helping them to feel less groggy and recover much quicker. A prescription for analgesics is provided, if needed. You can work from home one to two days after the surgery and resume a regular work schedule or social activities five to seven days after the procedure. Postoperative swelling is normal. Most of it disappears a few months after surgery, although it does take more time for the implants to settle. No strenuous activity or heavy lifting is allowed for four weeks.
Following recovery, it's vital to follow Dr. Friedlander's post-operative instructions. These will help to ensure that your recovery goes smoothly and that you experience minimal discomfort.
It takes time for the body to heal, and you will want to look your best the next time you put on your bikini, so plan on postponing that beach vacation until you are fully recovered. Breast augmentation provides immediate improvement to the breast size and contours. However, it takes six months to a year on average for the implants to settle and for the tissues to relax. Don’t worry if your implants appear to ride high at first. This is normal. As each month passes post-operatively, you can expect your breasts to “drop and fluff” into their final position.

Pricing typically includes the surgeon’s fee, implant cost, facility fees, and anesthesia fees. These fees differ patient to patient and will be discussed at length during your consultation with Dr. Friedlander. However, special financing may be available to help make the cost of breast augmentation more manageable.
Breast augmentation is considered permanent unless the implants are removed. Although implants do not expire in a set time frame, they eventually need replacing. Most patients undergo breast implant replacement approximately a decade after the initial procedure. Dr. Beverly Friedlander routinely performs breast implant removal and replacement at an accredited surgical facility.
Most people report only mild discomfort after surgery. However, you will be given pain medication to help keep you comfortable.
There is no perfect age for breast augmentation. The decision to have surgery is a personal one that you should make after careful consideration.
All surgery leaves scars, but the scars from breast augmentation are usually small and well-hidden. The type of incision used will determine the location of the scars.
Breast implants are not designed to be a lifetime device, but they usually last for many years. Results are typically long-lasting, but some women may choose to have their implants removed or replaced at some point.
For approximately six weeks post-surgery, you will need to wear a surgical bra.
You should avoid raising your arms above your head for at least two weeks after surgery.
Some women can breastfeed successfully with implants, but it is not guaranteed. If you are planning to breastfeed, you should discuss this with Dr. Bev before having surgery.
Weight gain can occur after any surgery, but it is usually temporary and will resolve on its own.
