Gravity and aging may be inevitable, but the effects are entirely manageable, particularly when it comes to advances in breast lifts, augmentation and making sure you feel like you are living every day as your best self.
Finding a trusted partner to help you achieve the results you’re looking for is essential. Having a partner in your journey who is also considered among the best of the best by his peers, like Peter Capizzi, MD, is a great place to start, especially in relation to the advances in Preservation Breast Augmentation.
What is Preservation Breast Augmentation?
A Preservation Breast Augmentation at Capizzi MD is an advanced and less invasive technique designed to preserve the patient’s natural tissue and anatomical support whenever possible.
Benefits of Preservation Breast Augmentation at Capizzi MD
- Minimize trauma: By reducing the need for cautery (“cutting”), existing supportive structures in the tissue and skin are maintained. The incisions are smaller, and swelling is minimal.
- Quicker recovery: Patients typically experience less post-operative discomfort and a smoother healing process due to less need for general anesthesia. (Think wisdom teeth sedation.) Take a day off for the surgery, and you can be back to much of your normal routine the next day.
- Natural results: Preserving supportive structures helps maintain a soft, natural breast shape and movement.
- Safety focus: Using Motiva’s latest implant technology (such as their 6th generation “gummy bear” implants) alongside Preservation techniques and Motiva’s Preservé tools reduces complication risks and enhances long-term outcomes.
At Capizzi MD, the Preservation technique aligns with their philosophy of combining cutting-edge surgical methods with a luxury patient experience, ensuring results that look and feel natural while prioritizing patient safety and recovery.
“I appreciate the Preservation technique because it allows me to honor the patient’s natural anatomy while still delivering the enhancement they’re seeking. By maintaining supportive tissue and using the most advanced implants available, we can achieve results that not only look and feel incredibly natural but also support a smoother recovery and long-term satisfaction,” says Dr. Capizzi.
“You should never feel pressured—even before an in-person consultation. We answer all the questions we can during the initial phone call, from pricing to recovery to timelines. We are incredibly up front with all information and position ourselves as educators in the space.” —Dr. Peter Capizzi
Who is the “ideal” candidate for Preservation Breast Augmentation?
Dr. Capizzi recommends someone wanting natural-appearing, targeted volume enhancement, saying, “So, a patient who wants a cup or two in size difference and wants to focus on certain areas (like upper pole fullness). Honestly, this philosophy is married into all our surgeries to offer the best results and long-term goals for our patients.”
Preservation Breast Augmentation surgery offers long-lasting results by maintaining more of the breast’s original structure. The implants also tend to settle beautifully and hold their shape over time, reducing the likelihood of needing revision surgery.
Trust and transparency are essential. Start with a consultation.
“When it comes to expectations, our philosophy is to be transparent and thorough. We start with a consultation, using advanced imaging, share before-and-after photos of patients with similar body types and talk honestly about what can and cannot be achieved. That way, our patients feel fully informed and confident that their results will be both realistic and beautiful, and tailored to their body and goals,” says Dr. Capizzi.
The fall and winter months—especially around the holidays—are one of the most popular times of year for surgery. Cozy sweaters, scarves and coats offer the perfect opportunity to keep your transformation private until you’re ready to reveal it in the spring.
Dr Capizzi shares, “Many patients love taking advantage of built-in holiday time off, adding just a few extra days for recovery, or working from home while healing. It’s also a season when we welcome many out-of-town patients who pair their surgery with holiday travel. Altogether, it’s a time that feels natural, discreet and perfectly aligned for a fresh new beginning come spring.”
Meet Dr. Capizzi
Aptly nicknamed the “Best in Breast,” Dr. Capizzi has a passion for breast surgery and mommy makeovers. His nickname comes from the great work he achieves, but it more notably comes from his dedication to furthering the technology and techniques of breast surgery today. Dr. Capizzi has been a clinical investigator for several implant companies in his career, helping them conduct studies and offering counsel to enhance the safety standards available to his patients. He continues this work to this day and is involved with burgeoning implant manufacturers to enhance and improve their products before entering the U.S. markets. This is seen as a true accolade because only the most expert surgeons are selected to be part of these investigator groups.
