What is a Breast Augmentation?
We know that deciding on breast augmentation, commonly known as a boob job, is a very difficult and personal decision, and we want to make sure you are choosing an experienced plastic surgeon. Many women benefit from breast augmentation, whether they are trying to restore their breasts after pregnancy or simply improve on the shape and size. When you come in for your initial consultation, we will go over the many options available for you. We will also discuss the breast augmentation recovery time and the cost of a breast augmentation. We will make sure you choose the right size breast that will complement and bring balance to your body.
How Much Do Breast Implants Cost?
The cost of cosmetic breast implants will vary depending on the geographical location and your individual anatomy and desired results. Pricing can be discussed during your breast augmentation consultation.
How Long is Recovery from Breast Augmentation Surgery?
Recovery from a breast augmentation procedure will vary depending on each individual. However, most patients should be able to return to work within a week. Excessive physical activity should be avoided for the first couple of weeks, and lifting, pulling, and pushing should be avoided during recovery.
Am I a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation?
Good candidates for a breast augmentation are those who feel that they have small breasts or those with breast asymmetry or congenital breast shape deformities who wish to achieve fuller breasts. Breast augmentation can help to improve the breast size and breast shape for a firm, round breast appearance. A consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons can help to determine if this procedure is right for you.
What is Breast Implant Removal?
Breast implants are a long-term breast enlargement solution; however they are not meant to be permanent. Breast implants may last up to 15-20 years without any complications. Some physicians do recommend replacing implants after this time frame and others recommend only replacing an implant if a problem has occurred. It is important to discuss this during your consultation so our surgeons can help guide you to a decision that is right for you.
Some complications that you may experience are:
Leak or Deflation -This condition is fairly simply to diagnose; if you see that your breast looks smaller, then a leak has most likely occurred. We can remove the implant and replace it with a new implant of the original size.
Capsular Contracture – This condition is when the breast feels hard and may be causing discomfort. The scar tissue that forms around the implant thickens and contracts, putting pressure on the implant and causing it to feel firmer. We can remove the scar tissue that has caused the condition and replace it with a new implant of the original size.
Asymmetry or Displacement – This condition is where the implant may shift outward towards the armpit, downward, or inward towards your other breast. Some implant displacement is barely noticeable and will not require any treatment. In other cases, surgery may be needed to move the implant back to where it is supposed to be.

Additional FAQs About Breast Augmentation
- Saline breast implants
- Silicone breast implants (also known as cohesive gel or silicone gel implant)
Saline
Saline implants are filled with sterile salt water. In the case that an implant ruptures, the solution can be naturally absorbed by the body without harm. These implants are FDA-approved and feel more firm.
Silicone
Silicone implants are made up of silicone gel. The gel substance allows these implants to feel similar to your natural breast. Silicone implants are FDA-approved, but it is important to schedule regular checkups with your doctors to ensure proper implant condition.
Fat Transfer
As opposed to implants, fat transfers use liposuction to transfer fat from another area of the body to enhance your breasts. This procedure provides restrictions for volume increase, but allows for a more natural look and feel.
Depending on the type of implant, your doctor will decide to place the implant on top of or underneath the pectoral muscle. The size of your implant as well as your body type will play a factor in this decision.
