Silicone-Gel Augmentation
Silicone gel breast augmentation with Mentor or Allergan cohesive gel implants, placed through an incision under the breast or around the areola, for patients who prefer the feel of gel and want a larger change.
Patients from Mississippi travel to Dr. Leonard Grossman in Brooklyn, NYC for cosmetic breast augmentation surgery using their own fat, saline implants placed through the navel (TUBA), or silicone gel implants. With more than 30 years of experience, he recommends the least invasive approach that meets your goal, and his standard is local anesthesia with advanced IV sedation rather than general anesthesia, so you go home the same day.
Implant-based, fat transfer and transumbilical breast augmentation, each performed by Dr. Grossman at his Brooklyn surgery center.
Silicone gel breast augmentation with Mentor or Allergan cohesive gel implants, placed through an incision under the breast or around the areola, for patients who prefer the feel of gel and want a larger change.
Saline breast augmentation performed through TUBA: the empty implant is rolled up, passed through the navel and filled to the planned volume, usually under the muscle, in about 20 to 30 minutes.
Fat transfer breast augmentation uses your own purified fat and stem cells, adding about 1 to 1.5 cup sizes per procedure while liposuction slims the donor areas.
Dr. Leonard Grossman matches the breast augmentation method to your body: fat transfer when you have fat to spare and want about 1 to 1.5 cup sizes, and implants, usually saline through the navel, when you want more. The steps differ from patient to patient: implant size and placement, whether the breast fold needs lowering, any asymmetry, and which donor sites supply the fat all depend on your anatomy. Patients from Mississippi make the trip to Brooklyn because he has performed TUBA since 1996 and breast fat transfer since 1995, and because surgery is outpatient, so you go home the same day.
Browse fat transfer and saline TUBA before-and-after cases, including A to C cup changes, and review them with Dr. Grossman at consultation.
Breast augmentation built on choice: your own fat, saline implants through the navel, or silicone gel, matched to your body and goals.
Fat transfer to the breasts since 1995, using your own fat and stem cells instead of an implant when it suits your goal.
With TUBA, saline implants go in through a small incision inside the navel, so the only small scar is tucked inside the belly button, not on the breast.
Outpatient surgery, a hotel within walking distance of the center and, for most patients, work again the next day.
Trained at New York Medical College, Beth Israel, Montefiore and Jacobi, then a fully accredited plastic surgery residency.

Dr. Grossman performs cosmetic breast augmentation with silicone gel implants, with saline implants, which he places through the navel using transumbilical breast augmentation (TUBA), and with fat transfer, which uses your own fat instead of an implant. His rule of thumb is simple: if you have fat to spare and want about 1 to 1.5 cup sizes, fat transfer breast augmentation is recommended; if you want more and have little extra fat, an implant is the better fit.
