Refine Your Vibe
Featured Aesthetic Procedures
Exquisitely Feminine
Breast Augmentation in Albany, NY
Breast augmentation can enhance your figure by not just increasing the breast volume and projection but also allowing for a more youthful positioning of the breast higher on the chest wall resulting in a refined silhouette and breast curves. Dr. Kaufman offers enhancement using implants as well as non-implant-based augmentation with fat grafting or volume-enhancing fillers for a non-surgical approach. Implants offer the most projection and volume correction while fat transfer can provide a more subtle natural result with your own tissue. Filler correction is for immediate results that can last a few months without the need for surgery. All 3 options will give you the look you desire and improved body confidence.
Lift Your Disposition
Breast Lift in Albany, NY
A primary focus of Gabriel J. Kaufman MD FACS is restorative surgery of the face and breast. A major contribution to the field of breast surgery is his unique approach for obtaining a more youthful and pleasing breast shape through his restorative mastopexy technique.
A mastopexy, or breast lift, can address sagging breasts caused by pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or aging. It elevates and reshapes the breasts, often improving nipple position and reducing the appearance of stretched skin for perky, youthful contours. Mastopexy can also be combined with other breast procedures for optimal personalization. Explore your possibilities with Albany breast procedure specialist Dr. Gabriel Kaufman.

Embrace Your Best Contours

Respected and trusted by bariatric surgeons, Dr. Kaufman receives many referrals to help bariatric patients achieve their body goals and lasting confidence.
Lasting Rejuvenation

Dr. Kaufman can help you identify the most appropriate treatment for your concerns, ensuring you receive precisely the right care for your needs and the best possible long-term results.
A Renewed Outlook
Blepharoplasty in Albany, NY
An eyelid lift, or blepharoplasty, can awaken your eyes and create a more rested, youthful appearance.

This can enhance your confidence, make you look more alert, and better reflect how you feel on the inside.

Restoring Confidence
Fat Grafting in Albany, NY
A successful alternative to implant-based breast reconstruction after mastectomy or for breast augmentation is through the transfer of fat from the abdomen or thighs into the breast to provide volume and shape, thus transforming a deflated skin envelope into a natural-appearing and feeling breast.
Limitless
Incisionless Breast Augmentation
No longer is breast augmentation limited to implants or defined by surgical incisions.
Subtle gains in volume and improved contours can be obtained with a single injection of natural hyaluronic filler, placed between the breast tissue and underlying muscle This treatment is for patients not looking for permanence but who desire an immediate result without surgical downtime. The benefits are avoiding a permanent implant in favor of a filler product that will dissipate with time. This can be ideal for patients who are unsure about the decision to proceed with implant breast augmentation and want to experience the result without the commitment or need for surgery. Schedule your consultation today for breast enhancement without surgery, implants, or incisions.
