A prolific innovator, Dr. Becker has patented and developed six plastic surgery devices. He is the inventor of the Becker Micronizer, which micronizes fat particles to enable more successful fat grafting to the face and breast; the Becker Adjustable Breast Implant; and the Becker Dissector Liposuction Cannula.

Early in his career, after witnessing the emotional and physical difficulties his patients faced following a breast cancer diagnosis, Dr. Becker was determined to help women undergoing mastectomies maintain their sense of self. He invented the Becker Adjustable Breast Implant, which allows reconstructive surgery to be completed in a single procedure — the implant is shaped and sized as fluid is added through a port that is removed once healing is complete. Today he also offers reconstruction using the patient's own fat tissue combined with absorbable mesh. His extensive experience in reconstructive breast surgery greatly enhances his ability to perform cosmetic surgery of the breast.
