Exclusively available in Western and Central New York with Dr. Ashley Amalfi at the Quatela Center for Plastic Surgery.
Revolutionary Technology, Gentle Results
Preservation Breast Augmentation represents a breakthrough in breast augmentation. Based on anatomic breakthroughs and new technology, Preservé works with a woman’s body without disrupting your natural anatomy. This technology is designed specifically to work around your natural breast tissue, not through it. This patented approach protects what matters most while delivering the enhancement you desire.
What Makes Preservation Breast Augmentation Different?
Gentler Enhancement
Less invasive than traditional breast augmentation, meaning less disruption to your body and faster healing with almost no cutting, but a gentle stretching of your tissues to place a breast implant.
Keep What’s Naturally Yours
There is considerably less risk to your natural breast function, nipple sensation and chest muscle strength than with other breast augmentation techniques.
Barely-There Scars
Smaller incisions mean more discreet scarring that’s easier to hide.
Faster Recovery
Get back to work, exercise, and daily activities quickly with shorter healing time and minimal disruption to your busy life.
Perfect Positioning
Clinical data shows 0% of implants have shifted downward after three years – superior to traditional methods.
Smart Technology
Often able to achieve your goals with a smaller implant size than conventional approaches due to the ability to target specific areas of the breast for enhancement.

Dr. Amalfi takes detailed measurements of your unique breast anatomy, choosing the perfect implant size while preserving your natural breast tissue. Three-dimensional imaging software can be used to visualize your anatomy and the changes you can expect with your Preservé breast augmentation.
Step 2: Gentle Access
A small, discreet incision is made in your natural breast crease. The specialized Channel Separator creates a pathway without cutting through breast tissue.
Step 3: Precise Pocket Creation
The Inflatable Balloon gradually and carefully moves your natural tissues aside to create the perfect customized pocket for your implant.

Common Questions About Preservation Breast Augmentation
How is preservation breast augmentation different from traditional breast augmentation?
Preservation breast augmentation works around your natural breast tissue rather than cutting through it. This can preserve nipple sensation, breast function, and muscle strength while providing faster recovery and superior long-term positioning.
Will I have scars?
Preservation breast augmentation uses smaller incisions placed in your natural breast crease, resulting in more discreet scarring that’s easier to hide compared to traditional methods.
How long is recovery?
Recovery is typically faster than traditional breast augmentation. Most patients return to work within 3-5 days and resume all activities within 4 weeks.
Will my implants stay in position?
Clinical data shows 0% of preservation breast augmentation implants have shifted downward after three years, thanks to the preservation of your natural support structures.
Can I breastfeed after a preservation breast augmentation?
We encourage all women to attempt breastfeeding after breast augmentation. While it cannot be guaranteed, the less invasive approach of Preservé should preserve all your ducts, and your own natural potential to breastfeed after the procedure. Remember, some women are naturally unable to breastfeed even without surgery.
