The Procedure
The shape and size of the breasts prior to breast augmentation surgery will influence both the recommended treatment and the final results. Breast enlargement is accomplished by inserting breast implants either behind the breast tissue or under the chest muscles. The incisions are made to keep scars as inconspicuous as possible and can be placed:
Around the nipple
Underneath the breast
Underneath the arm
Through the belly button
The method of inserting and positioning breast implants will depend on your preferences, your anatomy, and Dr. Salzhauer's recommendation.
Breast enhancement is not reserved only for women who have had children. However, after pregnancy, many women are upset by changes in their breast size and shape. Breast implants can quickly change the way a woman feels about herself. Breast augmentation is one of the most common operations that patients say improves their self-confidence and outward appearance.

Breast Augmentation Testimonial
Dear Dr. Salzhauer and Staff,
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for everything you have done for me. After nursing three children, I had been considering having a breast lift and augmentation for years. My breasts sagged and were very disparate in size. As an attorney and busy mother of the three aforementioned children, however, I was concerned about time away from work and the possible impact my surgery would have on my family. I did consult with many plastic surgeons but none gave me the comfort level or confidence I needed to go forward. In fact, the consultations generally left me more confused. No two doctors could agree on what I needed to obtain the best results. So, at thirty-eight years old, I would look in the mirror and be depressed about my body. Then I met Dr. Salzhauer and his staff.
From the first time I walked into your beautiful Bal Harbour office I was impressed. Not only was everyone professional and courteous, you made me feel like I was your only patient. After meeting with Dr. Salzhauer, I felt so comfortable and confident that I immediately put down the deposit for my surgery. I am happy to say I never looked back.
I should mention that I am writing this one week post-op. My surgery went better than I could ever have expected or hoped. The hospital and its staff were wonderful and my breasts look amazing. I was also able to return to work and carpooling and baseball games and dance classes... after only four days. Words cannot thank you enough, so I am resigned to sending everyone I know to you! In fact, my aunt will be having her surgery in just two weeks.
Please feel free to use me, as well as any portion of this letter, as a reference. You are a gifted surgeon and have changed my life.

Rhinoplasty FAQ
What can I specifically get out of rhinoplasty?
Several different outcomes are possible for rhinoplasty procedures with Dr. Salzhauer. Patients may reshape or refine the nose in multiple ways, including increasing or decreasing the overall size, removing a hump, or narrowing the span of the nostrils. A patient can also change the angle between the upper lip and the nose or alter the shape of the tip or the bridge. Rhinoplasty can also be performed to help alleviate the patients’ breathing problems.
Can anyone get rhinoplasty?
Any person who is in good health and has realistic expectations may undergo rhinoplasty. Dr. Salzhauer does not necessarily have set age requirements; however, rhinoplasty is typically not advised for patients under the age of 15 because their bodies are still growing. However, there have been cases where severe disfigurement is involved with a person under the age of 15 and Dr. Salzhauer has stepped in to help reverse the damage that has been done.
Is rhinoplasty a painful procedure?
Pain is difficult to measure because it is a relative term, but most rhinoplasty patients experience only discomfort and not pain. Most discomfort is typically associated with the packing of the nose after surgery, which is done in order to prevent or control bleeding. Nasal packing is most often removed in the first couple of days after surgery, which typically brings relief to the patient.
How long does a rhinoplasty surgery take?
Rhinoplasty surgery generally takes between two and four hours. The actual time will vary depending on different factors specific to the patient or the surgery. Primary rhinoplasty procedures typically take two to three hours, while rhinoplasty revision surgery may take three to four hours.
Does rhinoplasty scar?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure where incisions are made in the skin, which typically results in some scarring. The degree of scarring, however, depends on the type of surgery you undergo. Closed rhinoplasty procedures are intended to leave no visible scars, while open rhinoplasty may result in a very small scar that is concealed and will be barely noticeable over time.
What is recovery like after rhinoplasty?
While the actual amount of time it takes for each patient to recover will vary, you will most likely want to stay in bed on the first day following your rhinoplasty procedure. Most patients find themselves up and about within the next few days, but swelling and bruising may remain for three weeks or more after surgery. Patients typically return to work or school within about a week, but sun exposure and strenuous activity should continue to be avoided until two or three weeks after surgery.

Rhinoplasty Specialist in Miami
What is rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure to reshape the nose, whether it be for aesthetic goals or reconstructive purposes (to correct birth defects or breathing problems). Depending on the patient’s desired effect, the outcome of surgery can be very subtle or dramatic.
Many consider rhinoplasty to be the most complex operation in cosmetic surgery. Since facial structure and nasal anatomy vary greatly between different people, rhinoplasty must be individualized for each patient who visits our practice at Bal Harbour Plastic Surgery Associates in Miami. Through rhinoplasty, plastic surgeon Michael Salzhauer, M.D., will enhance your nose so that it blends with your facial structure and while still appearing completely natural.
Undergoing Rhinoplasty in Miami
At Bal Harbour Plastic Surgery Associates in Miami, patients will be asleep while undergoing rhinoplasty because the procedure is performed under general anesthesia. It typically takes about one to two hours to complete the surgery. However, more complicated cases may take longer. Following surgery, a splint will be applied to your nose by Dr. Michael Salzhauer in order to help it maintain its new shape.
Dr. Salzhauer will prescribe pain medication that you can take to alleviate any discomfort you might experience in the weeks following your rhinoplasty procedure. You can also apply cold compress to reduce any swelling. You should be out of bed after one to two days and able to return to most normal activities after about one to two weeks.
