Dr. Lawrence Gray has been selected as a Top Doctor to represent Portsmouth, New Hampshire in the Global Directory of Who's Who.

Dr. Gray first starting performing this scarless procedure in 1996.  He recently performed his 1000^th case and stated,  “The popularity of this method continues to expand and we continue to see patients from all over the country where it is not offered.”

 

 

With the observation that liposuction is simpler and safer than surgical excision (cutting out tissue) and knowing that patients want shorter recovery and less risk, Dr. Gray realized that liposuction would be effective on the breast. The majority of breast is fat, which can easily be removed with liposuction. 

 

 

Because Dr. Gray is the originator and has the greatest amount of experience, he has been asked and presentations on his procedure to numerous meetings at the both the American society of Plastic Surgery and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. 

 

 

“With fewer insurances companies covering breast reductions this is a much more affordable way to have to alleviate the painful symptoms of oversized breasts”, said Dr. Gray. “Due to the brief procedure, costs of the operating groom and anesthesia are greatly reduced.”  

“What will I look like?” is the number one question patients ask Dr. Lawrence Gray when considering breast augmentation. Now, Dr. Gray of Atlantic Plastic Surgery Center, located on Griffin Road in Portsmouth, NH, can accurately answer this question in 3D pictorial form. Using the very latest in medical technology, The Portrait 3D Surgical Simulation Platform by Axis Three, Dr. Gray and his staff can give patients an actual visual of themselves simulating the before and after – in photo realistic 3D. The Portrait 3D helps Dr. Gray and the patient work together to select just the right implant—size, form and shape, that best compliments their individual body. Additionally, this cutting edge technology allows greater guidance and direction for more accurate customization, placement and shaping of the implants especially helpful for any asymmetry issues. Importantly, this visualization enables patients to see the desired outcome in realistic 3D from all angles—overhead, side, front views, before the procedure is performed and make any necessary adjustments. The simulation is also helpful for patients to understand if breast implants alone would correct sagging skin or if they might need a breast lift. With over 24 years of plastic surgery practice, Dr. Gray is recognized in the medical community as a leader in plastic surgery and breast augmentation. Dr. Gray is also nationally and internationally recognized as the inventor of the scarless breast reduction, a revolutionary procedure that eliminates scars associated with the older, traditional method of breast reduction. Additionally, Dr. Gray is a core investigator for the Mentor and Silimed silicone breast implant studies. Dr. Gray is the first and only surgeon in New England to have this advanced technology. On average, Dr. Gray performs about 250 breast augmentations a year, more than 4 times the national average. Currently, there are only 10 of these visualization machines in the U.S. “At Atlantic Plastic Surgery, our patients love this new technology. It allows them to ‘try on’ various sizes and shapes to determine what is right for their body and visually make any adjustment or changes,” says Dr. Gray. “It increases the comfort level of the patient and with the help of the software; we can show the patient a range of sizes, shapes and placement and take precise volume measurements optimizing what is best for their body.” Dr. Gray compares the "before" with up to 5 simulated results. The Portrait 3D Surgical Simulation Platform by Axis Three is available at Atlantic Plastic Surgery at no extra charge and is included as part of the consultation. “At Atlantic Plastic Surgery, our goal is to make sure our patients are very happy with their result for a long time to come.”
