Silicone Gel Implants
Cohesive silicone gel implants from Mentor or Allergan, smooth or textured, placed through a discreet incision under the breast or around the areola, with no compression garments or special pillows during recovery.
Looking for the best breast augmentation surgeon? Dr. Leonard Grossman, a Brooklyn, NYC plastic surgeon with more than 30 years of experience, performs fat transfer augmentation, saline implants through the navel (TUBA, since 1996) and silicone gel implants. He recommends the least invasive method that meets your goal, keeps scars as discreet as possible (inside the navel for TUBA, tiny entry points for fat transfer), and operates in his fully accredited outpatient surgery center, so you recover at home the same day.
Three ways to enlarge the breasts, chosen by Dr. Grossman according to your goal size, spare fat and skin quality.
Cohesive silicone gel implants from Mentor or Allergan, smooth or textured, placed through a discreet incision under the breast or around the areola, with no compression garments or special pillows during recovery.
Saline implants placed through a small incision inside the navel (TUBA), usually under the muscle, filled during surgery to match your frame, with no drain and no special bra.
Your own purified fat layered into the breasts through tiny entry points for about 1 to 1.5 cup sizes per session, with no implant and the bonus of slimmer donor areas.
The best breast augmentation surgeon for you is one who can offer every method and tells you honestly which fits. Dr. Leonard Grossman’s rule: if you have fat to spare and want about 1 to 1.5 cup sizes, use your own fat; if you want more and are slim, choose implants, often saline through the navel because capsular contracture risk is lower. Even under one name, no two augmentations are built the same: implant size, pocket and placement, or donor sites and fat volume are planned around your chest wall, skin and existing tissue.
Gallery cases include saline augmentation through the navel with no incisions on the breasts and fat transfer patients followed for up to four years.
What to look for in a breast augmentation surgeon: documented plastic surgery training, long experience with each method and an accredited facility.
Fat transfer, TUBA saline and silicone implants, so the method fits your body instead of the surgeon’s habit.
Close to 8,000 navel-incision augmentations between 1996 and 2022, according to his practice.
Every augmentation is done in his AAAHC-accredited Brooklyn center as outpatient surgery, so you recover at home that night.
His plastic surgery training: a fully accredited residency at Scott & White Memorial Hospital, Texas, finished in 1995.

Reconstructive and Plastic Surgeon
Dr. Leonard Grossman is a Brooklyn, New York City plastic and reconstructive surgeon with more than 30 years of experience and a pioneer of Organic Plastic Surgery, using patients' own fat in place of synthetic materials. He earned his medical degree from New York Medical College in 1985, completed his internship and General Surgery residency at Beth Israel Medical Center, and completed fellowships in Microsurgery at Montefiore Hospital and Burns and Reconstruction at Jacobi Hospital. In 1995 he completed a fully accredited plastic surgery residency at Scott & White Memorial Hospital in Texas; his practice reports he became the first American plastic surgeon to use Ultrasound Assisted Liposuction that year. He pioneered calf augmentation with fat grafting in 1995 and, by his practice's count, has performed more than 4,500 calf augmentations. He operates at his fully accredited (AAAHC) surgery center at 3039 Emmons Ave in Brooklyn. Recognized by the Castle Connolly Guide, Vitals.com and RateMDs.com, he is dedicated to privacy, professionalism, and helping patients make informed decisions about their care.
The 45-55 rule is an aesthetic guideline that describes an attractive breast as having about 45% of its volume above the nipple line and 55% below, with the nipple pointing slightly upward. It is a useful reference, not a law. Dr. Grossman aims for a natural slope: with TUBA he fills each saline implant during surgery and can sit you up to check symmetry, and with fat he builds the breast in fine layers.
