Choosing Your Breast Augmentation Surgeon
Article courtesy of Dr. Steven Teitelbaum
Dr. Teitelbaum is an internationally recognized cosmetic surgeon known for his specific expertise in breast augmentation. He has extensive experience working with both saline and silicone implants, having helped design and test the most current models, and he lectures and teaches other surgeons how to perform breast augmentation surgery and achieve the best results with minimal pain and recovery time.
• Expertise. Dr. Teitelbaum is the only surgeon in the state of California, and one of fewer than ten surgeons in the world, to have participated in the clinical studies for all three implant manufacturers—Mentor, McGhan (now Allergan), and Silimed (now Sientra)—and to have testified at FDA hearings on silicone gel breast implants (also known as “cohesive,” “gummy-bear,” or “form-stable” implants). As a result, he has among the most clinical research experience of any physician in the U.S. and is frequently asked to teach cosmetic surgeons around the world about the differences between various cohesive gel implants, as well as the advantages and disadvantages for each in different patient profiles.
In the past three years, Dr. Teitelbaum has given over fifty lectures to other plastic surgeons on breast augmentation and implant revision surgery—including talks across the U.S. and in Brazil, England, Israel, Mexico, Morocco, and Sweden. He is also recognized locally, as one of just a few Los Angeles cosmetic surgeons to have been asked to join the esteemed teaching faculty of UCLA Medical School, where he is Assistant Clinical Professor of Plastic Surgery.
Dr. Teitelbaum has published recent articles on breast augmentation in the prestigious journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery—including a landmark paper on reducing the need for patients to have multiple operations, and a roundtable discussion on breast augmentation he led with the most elite names in cosmetic surgery. He has written textbook chapters on breast augmentation, including how to revise unsatisfactory results.
Dr. Teitelbaum is a principal figure in creating the curricula used to teach other surgeons how to select the proper implants for each patient and achieve the most-natural results, as well as a lead instructor in the courses offered to cosmetic surgeons in Los Angeles and at the annual meeting of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery—the largest aesthetic plastic surgery meeting in the world.
• Patients. Dr. Teitelbaum is cosmetic surgeon to a number of influential people, models, and celebrities, but he is most proud of the fact that he is often chosen by other physicians for their own surgeries or those of their family members. Dr. Teitelbaum is also frequently referred difficult cases from other top surgeons in the U.S. and around the world. Finally, Dr. Teitelbaum is one of the few surgeons chosen by employees of breast-implant manufacturers—people who have access to the results of thousands of clinical trials of their products. Following one 2007 case involving a manufacturer’s family member—this particular woman is a member of a two-person evaluation team that reviews all surgical results in the country for a particular implant—Dr. Teitelbaum received this note: “Jennifer is not given to false praise—what she told you about your work was truly from the heart, and I agree with her. You have that very unique gift which enables you to produce spectacular results over and over again. Keep making the world a more beautiful place.”
