Breast augmentation, also known as a boob job, is among the most frequently performed plastic surgery procedures worldwide. However, it is still a surgery and should only be conducted under general anesthesia, using the “no-touch” method, by a board-certified plastic surgeon.
Breast augmentation with silicone implants is one of Dr. Morin’s main areas of expertise. He has been recognized by his peers as one of New York Magazine’s best plastic surgeons, and his achievements are also honored by Castle Connolly, making him one of the best breast augmentation surgeons in NJ.
His specialized surgical approach allows for precise, gentle implant placement with minimal trauma to the surrounding breast tissue. By combining this method with an implant funnel, he is able to reduce incision size and alleviate post-operative discomfort.
Also known as augmentation mammoplasty, breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that increases the size and shape of breasts. Dr. Morin achieves natural results with either silicone or saline breast implants. These implants increase the overall size and fullness of the breast.

*Real Patient Results
Dr. Morin’s techniques allow him to develop a natural breast size in either of the following ways:
He makes a very small incision in the chest muscles. This incision is made by using either the Keller funnel or the inPlant funnel for the “no-touch” technique. This stops the implant from ever touching the outside world. This meticulous and careful technique lessens the risk of infection and capsular contracture.
During consultations, Dr. Morin sees many concerns. The most common issue Dr. Morin sees in women with breast implants is the violation of the integrity of the inframammary fold. This error is a result of surgeries done by other surgeons.
This type of surgery can cause a patient’s implant to drop too far down. And the results create a bottomed-out appearance. The implant sits low on the chest wall, and the nipple ends up too high.
In order to fix this issue, Dr. Morin will reconstruct the fold. To do so, he uses either acellular dermis (Alloderm or Belladerm) or a synthetic mesh (Galatea). This structure is used as a supportive floor for the implant to sit on. This is a complex procedure that he has done many times.
Sizing before surgery is an important part of the planning process. Dr. Morin uses the Mentor gel sizing system with a sports bra in his office. This technique helps give his patients a good idea of the final size and shape of their breasts.
A precise implant pocket dissection under direct vision prevents bleeding and ensures proper implant position and symmetry.
An appropriate dissection between breasts in the area of the cleavage is significant. Too much can create one breast, aka a “uni-boob”. However, not enough creates a large space or valley between the two breasts.
The best way is to balance the size of the implant, nipple position, and cleavage space. This method depends on the patient’s specific build, goals, and desires.

There are many benefits for women who choose to undergo breast augmentation. These can range from positively reversing the effects of pregnancy, aging, and gravity to rebuilding breasts after breast cancer and helping cancer survivors feel more like themselves after a mastectomy. Some additional benefits may include:
One of the primary advantages of breast augmentation is the ability to enhance overall breast volume. This improvement can help fill out clothing, create a more balanced silhouette, and add a sense of femininity. Larger breasts often boost self-confidence, giving patients a feeling of renewed self-assurance.
Breast augmentation procedures also focus on refining breast shape, which may be compromised by factors such as aging, weight fluctuations, or pregnancy. Implants can help correct asymmetry, restore youthful contours, and enhance the overall silhouette. This improvement often translates to better body image and a greater sense of well-being.
In many cases, breast augmentation has a profound psychological impact, leading to a marked improvement in self-esteem. Feeling more comfortable with one’s appearance can translate into reduced social anxiety and greater ease in both personal and professional settings. Enhanced confidence often encourages a healthier, more positive outlook on life.
For individuals with naturally smaller breasts or uneven body contours, breast implants can help achieve a more harmonious figure. This enhancement can balance the proportions between the upper and lower body, improving posture and overall silhouette. As a result, patients may feel greater comfort and satisfaction with their physical appearance.

READ REVIEWS
The most recommended implant used in breast augmentation at our Hackensack, NJ office is a strong silicone shell. It consists of saline or a soft, natural textured silicone gel.
Silicone breast implants were not always positive in the United States. Because of concerns about the safety of early silicone implants, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned their use. These implants were banned for cosmetic breast augmentation in 1992.
Over the next 14 years, a massive amount of data from clinical studies was reviewed by professionals. In a statement released in 2006, the FDA finally overturned the ban. They told patients that silicone implants were “safe and effective.” Since then, silicone implants have been successful in all types of patients with an extremely high level of satisfaction.
Dr. Morin prefers to use silicone implants on his patients. And the reason is because he believes they result in a more natural and long-lasting result, unlike saline implants. In addition, they are very safe.
For those worried about the presence of silicone in their implant, remember that all implant shells consist of silicone. This factor is regardless of the inner filling.
*Dr. Morin’s Real Patient Results
Mammoplasty augmentation surgery can greatly enhance the look of a woman’s breasts and body. Options for developing the most fitting breasts include:
Choosing the right implant size and surgery approach is important for the most natural results. In addition, this choice helps you successfully meet your goals and expectations. Dr. Morin offers natural results once you’ve decided to undergo breast augmentation at our New Jersey practice.
Dr. Morin has over ten years of surgical experience. He is known for his contributions to the complex field of plastic surgery. He strives to perform mammoplasty augmentation surgery in a way that leaves the breasts looking natural. This result is possible even when you go with a larger implant.
In addition, Dr. Morin provides his patients with many different-sized implant options to try on. This process helps many women see which one looks and feels the best.
All breast implants have a shell that is made out of a substance called silicone. The surface of the shell can either be smooth or textured. And since everyone is different, there cannot be a one-size-fits-all approach. If you are unsure which is the best breast implant material for you, Dr. Morin will find the perfect option based on your anatomy and aesthetic goals.
This type of implant consists of a safe inert polymer. This implant is often referred to as gummy bears since they are soft and squishy. The end result resembles the look and feel of a woman’s natural breast.
This implant type is not as commonly used. This is because the folds of the saline implants sometimes create a wrinkling or rippling effect. This effect is due to the silicone shell being filled with a saline fluid.
Breast implants can generally be placed into two locations. The areas are: below the breast tissue and pectoralis muscle (submuscular) or below the breast tissue only (subglandular). Most commonly, Dr. Morin uses the submuscular location, or a hybrid called the dual-plane, as these techniques offer some benefits.
The main benefit of the technique is a more natural look. Several studies report a lower risk of capsular contracture (tightening around the implant after surgery). This risk is lower when placing implants below the breast tissue.
Breast augmentation can help individuals achieve a fuller, more balanced bust. Under Dr. Morin’s care in his modern New Jersey facility, patients benefit from cutting-edge techniques and a personalized approach. Providing thorough patient education and support at every step of the way, Dr. Morin’s unwavering dedication to safety and satisfaction ensures a transformative experience with beautiful, natural-looking, and lasting results.
The initial consultation is a vital first step, allowing patients to discuss their goals, expectations, and concerns directly with Dr. Morin. During this visit, a thorough evaluation of the patient’s medical history and breast anatomy is performed. Potential implant types, sizes, and placement options are explored, ensuring a personalized approach that best addresses the patient’s desired outcome while emphasizing safety.
Thoughtful preparation can significantly influence your breast augmentation journey. Dr. Morin encourages patients to stop smoking, adjust medications, and maintain a healthy lifestyle to promote optimal healing. It’s also crucial to arrange post-operative support, such as a ride home and help during recovery. With clear guidance and proper planning, patients can look forward to a smooth procedure and a comfortable recovery.
Breast augmentation usually takes between one and two hours and is done under general anesthesia at our New Jersey facility. Dr. Morin will make small incisions and then the breast tissue is then lifted. This helps to carefully and precisely create a pocket into which the implant is placed.
By using the Keller Funnel®2 “no-touch” technique, he can keep the incision size as small as possible. This method allows periareolar incisions to be used in most of his patients regardless of the nipple and areolar size.
This technique reduces the risk of infection and tightening after surgery, prevents damage to the implant, and significantly reduces surgery time. Once the breast implants are properly in position, the incisions are carefully closed. Next, a surgical bra is used during recovery for support and comfort.
When performing breast augmentation surgery, Dr. Morin follows a unique set of rules. This guide helps ensure the highest level of patient safety and comfort.
He only performs the surgery under general anesthesia and at a fully accredited surgical facility. In addition, he only uses the highest quality breast implants that the US FDA approves. Dr. Morin is well known for his consistent use of the “no-touch” technique.
Dr. Morin’s surgical techniques are designed to leave you with the least visible scars possible after surgery. He usually recommends the least noticeable option – the periareolar incision (the area between the light breast skin and the darker areola).
In a small number of patients who insist on it, he will use an inframammary fold incision. This type of incision is done in the crease on the underside of the breast. However, he thinks this is a less effective option.
Two other described incision sites, transaxillary (armpit) and transumbilical (belly button) are not recommended at all.
You will need to leave with a responsible adult. Someone who can ensure your safety while the anesthesia completely wears off. If no one is available, we can arrange to have a nurse take care of you for a few hours. We can also have someone stay with you overnight. While you should have a friend, family member, or ride service drive you home, you can recover by yourself.
Ready to start looking your best? We offer virtual and in-office consultations.
We do our New Jersey breast implant procedures on an outpatient basis, under general anesthesia. After just a few days, patients can continue most activities (with some restrictions).
Before your breast augmentation at our Hackensack office, Dr. Morin explains the recovery process. A thorough explanation will help you know what to expect after surgery. Every woman’s body is unique. Therefore, your recovery time could be longer or shorter than another woman with the same age, weight, and size.
Once you wake up from the anesthesia you will feel sore. You may feel the sensation of pressure on your chest. The effects of the anesthesia will wear off, and the dizzy feeling will pass shortly after.
The first few days are the least comfortable, and you may experience some bruising and swelling. Dr. Morin will prescribe you pain medication to take if needed to feel more comfortable. Your breasts may also look like they are initially sitting a little too high on your chest. This appearance will resolve itself as the implants drop during recovery and settle into a more natural position.
Massage exercises and scar-fading products made with silicone will be recommended after your surgery. These therapies will help to ensure that your results are as beautiful as possible.
If you have a desk job, you will likely be able to return to work within a few days. First, however, it is important that you ease back into your daily routine. Taking it easy can help you heal properly and get the best results from breast implant surgery.
After a few weeks you will be able to jump back into your normal daily routine. You can enjoy certain types of light exercise. But, it is important that you refrain from strenuous activities such as:
After two months Dr. Morin will be able to monitor your recovery. It’s important that you follow his advice so that your incisions and implants heal properly.
If you’re in good overall health, have stable breast development, and seek to enhance or restore breast volume, you may be an excellent candidate for breast implants in NJ. It’s also crucial to have realistic goals and a full understanding of the procedure. A consultation with Dr. Morin helps ensure a safe and personalized treatment plan for optimal results.
Breast implants can greatly improve your self-confidence. However, it does come with risks that the patient should keep in mind. By being open and honest with board-certified NJ surgeon Dr. Morin, the chance of complications is reduced.
The overall risks of mammoplasty augmentation surgery may include:
Although breast augmentation is popular, it may not be ideal for everyone. Alternatives—breast lift, fat grafting, and breast reduction—offer unique advantages and personalized solutions, ensuring patients achieve their desired aesthetic outcome.
A breast lift vs. breast augmentation? Dr. Morin will suggest the best option for you. A breast lift repositions sagging or drooping breasts to restore a youthful, perkier shape. This procedure removes excess skin and tightens the surrounding tissue, often improving the breast’s symmetry and contour. It’s an excellent option for those experiencing changes from weight loss, pregnancy, or aging. Many patients report significantly increased confidence and comfort in everyday clothing following a breast lift.
Fat grafting uses the patient’s own body fat to enhance breast shape and volume. Typically, fat is removed from areas like the abdomen or thighs via liposuction, purified, and then carefully injected into the breasts. Fat grafting breast augmentation offers a more natural feel, eliminates the need for implants, and can simultaneously refine the donor site, creating a more balanced overall figure.
Breast reduction addresses concerns of overly large breasts, which can cause neck, back, and shoulder pain. During this procedure, excess fat, tissue, and skin are removed to achieve a more proportionate bust. It often improves mobility and daily comfort, while also boosting self-esteem. Many patients find their new breast size offers a better fit for clothing and an active lifestyle.

Dr. Morin is always mindful of achieving the most beautiful and natural results. Every patient is unique. Depending on your body size and shape, he will tailor the size of your breast implants. This personalization gives you the most proportionate look without making your cosmetic surgery look obvious.
The right implant should be long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing. Dr. Morin will not make you look fake or overdone.
Dr. Morin and his highly trained team will review the surgery plan with you before treatment. You should plan to take 4 to 7 days off from important commitments such as work and school while you recover.
We will also ask that you schedule a physical exam and a blood test. This precaution is to ensure that you are healthy enough to have surgery. Finally, you may have to stop taking certain medications and vitamins before surgery and stop smoking.
Breast implants by Dr. Morin are designed to be long-lasting. You can enjoy the benefits of a single procedure for decades. Still, there is the possibility that a patient may need to have breast revision surgery in the future. This additional surgery can improve the shape of the breasts as a woman ages.
In addition, women may require additional surgery following pregnancy, breastfeeding, aging, and major weight loss.
Dr. Morin takes exceptional care throughout the surgical process. While every patient’s procedure is unique, surgery can take between 1 to 2 hours.
Many factors will influence how long surgery takes. They include the type of anesthesia used, the type of implant selected, and the incision location.
Breast implant technology has changed a lot in the past few decades. Breast implants now differ a lot in appearance and texture compared to many years ago. Silicone breast implants are considerably safer; they feel more natural and look like natural breasts. Board-certified NJ breast implant specialist Dr. Morin aims to create natural results.
It’s normal for women in New Jersey to put off breast augmentation. This delay often happens because they are worried about their ability to breastfeed. However, surgery avoids the native breast tissue and milk ducts entirely when done properly.
First, the incision is made around the glandular tissue. Next, the implant is set into a meticulously designed space below the muscle. Therefore, breast implant surgery should not affect breastfeeding.
That said, successful breastfeeding is a complex process. Therefore, you should discuss your future breastfeeding plans with Dr. Morin during your consultation.
Anytime a surgical incision is made in the skin, a scar will form. This formation is part of the body’s normal and amazing healing process. Dr. Morin’s breast implant technique is careful to minimize noticeable scarring, so the scar is less likely to be seen.
His patients greatly appreciate these techniques. In addition, almost all scars tend to fade with time.
There are many considerations when thinking about breast implant costs. These may include the state you will have surgery in, your surgeon’s experience, and facilities. Then, consider the type of breast implant, silicone or saline, the size, and the incision type.
All of these reasons can raise costs. Dr. Morin will give you a detailed breakdown of his breast augmentation costs. The costs will be based on your consultation, desired goals, and the choice of implant material used.
