Breast augmentation financing is often a secondary concern for many patients choosing to undergo a procedure at our New Haven, Shelton, or Norwalk locations, the primary concern being, naturally, what to expect in terms of results and recovery. Unfortunately, health insurance does not cover breast augmentation procedures if they are elective and not medically necessary, […]

Silicone breast implants and breast augmentation procedures are commonly performed at our three Connecticut locations in New Haven, Shelton, and Norwalk. For many years, silicone implants were thought to present a greater risk of immunological disorders over saline implants. However, after fourteen years researching the safety of silicone implants, in 2006 the FDA found no […]

Lip Botox, and augmentation with fillers or collagen, are commonly performed procedures at our three Connecticut locations that can quickly and easily add shape and volume to your lips. While fillers and collagen are more typically used to plump up the lips, Botox blocks impulses from targeted facial nerves to the muscles around the lips […]

Botox injections under the eyes, similar to crow’s feet treatments, blocks the nerve impulse to specific muscles that cause wrinkles, crinkles, and small bags.

While not offering much projection, low profile implants are sometimes preferred over moderate or moderate plus if the patient is already a large cup size, […]
