Breast augmentation surgery (augmentation mammaplasty) involves using implants to create fuller breasts or to restore breast volume lost after weight reduction or pregnancy. An incision can be made either underneath the breast within the crease or around the lower edge of the areola. The implant is placed in a pocket either directly behind the breast tissue (subglandular) or underneath the pectoral muscle (submuscular).
Breast reduction surgery (reduction mammaplasty) removes excess breast fat, glandular tissue and skin to achieve a breast size in proportion with your body and to alleviate the discomfort associated with overly large breasts. This procedure can be performed in either Dr. LaTrenta's office or the hospital under general anesthesia.
Revisional breast surgery is used to correct changes that may have occurred subsequent to past breast implant surgery. Many women seek secondary breast enhancement after implant-related or natural changes in the breast tissue such as after childbirth and breast-feeding. It is best to have as much information as possible about your previous implant before coming in for a consultation regarding revisional surgery.
It is important to either have them exchanged every 10 to 15 years or have them permanently removed. If you decide to remove them, and if your breast has sagged over the past few decades, a breast lift can be added to the removal procedure. General anesthesia is required. The implant and its capsular scar tissue are removed through a small incision under your breast.
Breast reconstruction surgery involves multiple plastic surgery techniques to restore a breast to its normal shape, appearance and size following mastectomy. Most cases involve implant reconstruction in two stages. At the time of mastectomy, tissue expanders are inserted below the muscle, often with the use of sterile skin matrices for bulk.

EXCELLENT I was referred to Dr. LaTrenta by several physicians at NY Presbyterian. Dr. LaTrenta performed an extremely successful facelift, eye lift and neck lift. I'm in my mid 70's and have been taken by mistake as my daughter's sister. I continue to visit Dr. LaTrenta for Botox and fillers. Dr. LaTrenta's staff is fantastic. They are professional, sincerely interested in patient care and managing any concerns with the utmost interest to the needs of the patient. Dr. LaTrenta is one of the top physicians I have had the pleasure to interact with in the New York Presbyterian System and the New York Metropolitan area.

Dr. LaTrenta deserves ten stars for my phenomenal face and necklift on Nov. 15. Beautifully done, natural results and I had absolutely no black and blue or bruising afterwards. Pretty amazing! Dr. LaTrenta, the nurses and the lovely office manager were warm, friendly and welcoming. Overall, an unforgettable marvelous experience.

Dr. LaTrenta is an exceptional cosmetic surgeon. He performed surgery on me last November 2020 and adhered to covid protocols. He was very thorough in explaining my procedure and I felt confident he was the right surgeon for me and I am very happy with the results. His operating room nurses were wonderful and patient. His anesthesiologist was professional and kind! I would certainly return to his office if I decide on doing any future procedures!

Dr. Latrenta and his staff were amazing. During initial consult he took an hour to sit with us and make sure he answered all our questions. He explained in detail the surgery and recovery process which really helped put us at ease. His staff is amazing, the best of the best. He really is a skilled surgeon and an artist. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed. Very happy with the results of the surgery.

I first saw Dr. LaTrenta when I was @ 40 years old for a tummy tuck. I am now 65. He and his staff were incredibly kind, professional and caring. My tummy tuck was incredible. Following that I returned for upper lid and lower eye laser treatment. Again, another successful outcome. I had monthly Parisian peel skin treatments and endermology. Finally, at age 45 I had an early-age mid-facelift which was refreshed at 55 with my lower eyes.
I stayed with him all those years. He always was a gentleman and genuinely concerned with me as a patient. His assistant Johnette is wonderful as well. By the way, I am now 65 and so glad I did all of that when I was younger. I look great!

About 8 years ago I was in an accident that left me with necrosis of my lower lip. I looked like I had a cleft lower lip. Dr Latrenta came highly recommended by many as the go to guy for reconstruction. And I have never been more happy with any decision I've made in my life. He was one of the most comforting doctors I've ever met and a super. friendly staff.
I was super scared as I had never had surgery up until that point. They made me feel so at ease. And he was honest. He didn't promise me the sun moon and stars but told me what we would most likely achieve and it may take more than one surgery. No surprises. Not only am I about 90% back to normal but he did it with no scarring and the surgery was pretty painless. I would recommend him to anyone looking for reconstructive surgery

I am a repeat patient of Dr. LaTrenta and each time has been a very good experience. The staff and doctor are wonderful to work with and theytook great care of me. My recent surgery is still healing, but looks great so far. I highly recommend Dr. LaTrenta to anyone who is unsure and wants a top notch doctor who is compassionate, listens and understands what you want as and end result.

I've had the best experience with Dr. LaTrenta and staff! I am over the moon about the outcome of my surgery. With his help, I now feel more confident and healthy! Dr. LaTrenta and staff are so compassionate and there for you every step of the way pre and post surgery. Dr. LaTrenta is extremely talented, and I would not consider going to anyone but him! I have complete trust for him and his staff; I highly recommend his practice- you will be in great hands!

Dr. LaTrenta and every person in his practice have been indispensable these last few months. From carefully planning and tailoring each aspect of surgery, to ensuring an optimal outcome throughout after-care, they seamlessly and confidently navigated through each step. There was never any doubt that safety and excellence was their priority, which is especially important in the last few months.
Everyone around him has the strongest knowledge, and an elegant, effortless bedside manner. Every email answered, every question carefully and patiently explained, every client the most important. The offices and surgeries are second to none, like being in a meditative spa. Treatments: Breast explant and lift, tummy tuck revision. The outcome is stunning. Dr. LaTrenta is an artist. Everything you'd want or need is found here.

I was seen by Dr. Latrenta for reconstructive surgery due to 3rd degree burns to my face. My family and I were new to the country. Dr. Latrenta said he would fix my face. He put tissue expanders in my face and did a skin graph. The graph was to come from my butt. On the operating table Dr. Latrenta if I wore low cut clothing. I responded no. He. asked my permission (as a minor) to take the skin from my chest instead due to it being a better color match.
I woke up during the surgery feeling extreme pressure on my face and jaw, evening hearing a pop. I was immediately put back to sleep. I woke up in extreme pain with a huge head and chest bandage dressing. The recovery was very painful!.

There are 1000 Plastic Surgeons in NYC but I picked him! Dr. Latrenta has been by my side since 2010. His professionalism, loving bedside manner has made the difference for me. I struggled with a few post radiation surgeries after my initial breast cancer diagnosis and do not know what I would do without him by my side. His staff and as well as the process has my the reconstruction process smooth. I must say he is one of the best!

I'm so unhappy with the procedures he performed on me. I needed to have my implants replaced (it was time) and not only are they uneven and too far apart, the scars make me look like Frankenstein four months after my surgery. He told me the scars would disappear quickly and completely. Hardly. He also administered Botox after which my eyelids are still (several months later) drooping over my pupils to the point where if I want to read at night I have to hold them up with my fingertips.
He told me I was "sensitive" to Botox, even though I had told him in advance that I had never had anything done to my face and to please use too little as opposed to too much. His office staff isn't nice either - in fact I was yelled at by the office manager after he offered me a refund for the Botox. I was also not given clear post-op instructions whatsoever.
He seems nice enough, but also uses very strange language - telling me to take off my "panties" (to me this is unprofessional - I'd rather him use the word "undergarment, " or the like). He absolutely promised me the Botox effects would be gone after three months - it has now been four months and I'm still suffering. I spent a fortune at this practice and am SO sorry I did.

Dr, LaTrenta is a wonderful, skilled plastic surgeon, supported by a terrific, professional staff. I can't speak highly enough of them, and my perspective has stood the test of time. Eighteen years ago, a newly diagnosed breast cancer patient, I was referred to Dr. LaTrenta in New York City by my mastectomy team as the plastic surgeon they trusted to do my post mastectomy implant.
A highly skilled surgeon, one with an artist's eye, he is also a compassionate human being, surrounded by staff who are warm, attentive, and highly skilled themselves. Eighteen years later, in his elegant Darien office, he has just replaced my implant and made my contralateral breast symmetrical. Faced with a ridiculous level of insurance resistance, Dr. LaTrenta and his staff fought along side me for my right to have this surgery done, with success.
The outcome is a remarkable transformation- symmetry where there was none- and one that I am thankful for every day. Dr. LaTrenta's eye for detail, his willingness to listen closely to his patient, and to communicate his thoughts make him an outstanding doctor, surrounded by a staff that makes you comfortable every step of the way. Thank you to the entire team from the bottom of my heart. Lisa Mann Marotta

Dr. LaTrenta is an artist. Literally, he actually IS a very talented artist. And that lends itself spectacularly to his work as a plastic surgeon. He fixed a situation for me that many other doctor's were not confident in even attempting. Plus, Dr. LaTrenta's plan of action was simpler than the other options being offered to me. I could not be more grateful to him and his devoted, caring team.
They are angels. He is a gifted surgeon and gave me a huge dose of confidence back that I had previously lost. His anesthesiologist is phenomenal, as are his nurses and patient coordinator. They treat you like you really matter and you are truly important, no matter who you are. Most importantly, he is a tremendous surgeon. I highly recommend him for any of your plastic surgery needs. He is the best. Bravo Dr. LaTrenta, to you and your amazing team on Park Avenue.
