Breast
Augmentation

The cost of breast augmentation varies depending on the needs of the patient, the surgeon’s expertise, additional fees, and your combination of procedures. We tailor each surgery to the desires of the patient, and your exact breast augmentation cost will be discussed during your consultation.

Breast augmentation is an excellent option for those who want to add volume and shape to their breasts. If you feel self-conscious about the way your breasts look in clothes or in the mirror, if you struggle to find bras that you can fill, or if you feel as though your breasts do not balance out the rest of your figure, a breast augmentation may be the best option for you.

The size of your breast implants will be determined in person during your consultation. Your surgeon may make recommendations about size based on your body structure and desired aesthetic. The implant material, shape, and placement will also affect the best implant size for you.

We encourage patients to bring in pictures of their desired breast size, and we also allow a significant other, family member, or friend to come in the operating room during the sizing process in most cases.

Saline and silicone implants both have pros and cons, so the best choice is truly a matter of individual preference and your surgeon’s recommendation. While deciding, you may consider the desired feel and firmness of the bust.

While breast augmentation with implants is the most reliable way to get the breast volume and shape you want, fat transfer (fat grafting) can achieve a subtle volume increase and enhance your natural breast contours. This procedure uses liposuction surgery to remove excess fat from another area of your body and then transfers it to the breasts. However, fat grafting is rarely done as a standalone breast augmentation procedure; it is commonly combined with implants for patients with thin natural breast tissue.

Breast augmentation can enhance the volume of the breasts and provide a slight lift, but it cannot dramatically correct skin laxity and moderate to severe sagging. Breast lift surgery combined with breast augmentation can remove excess skin and reshape the breasts while adding volume.

Yes. Breast augmentation is often combined with other body contouring procedures for comprehensive body enhancement and rejuvenation. Many mothers combine their augmentation with a breast lift, a liposuction procedure, and/or tummy tuck surgery in what is known as Mommy Makeover surgery.

The ability to breastfeed following a breast augmentation is different for each individual. Breast surgery can damage the milk ducts within the breast, which can affect the amount of milk produced. Some patients may be able to breastfeed normally, while others may have reduced milk production or no production at all. Be sure to discuss this with your surgeon if breastfeeding is a concern.

While breast implants can provide satisfying results for many years, they are not considered lifetime devices. They may need to be replaced at some point in your life, whether due to changes in lifestyle and aesthetic preferences or due to a complication like implant rupture/deflation or capsular contracture. Breast revision surgery can be used to remove or replace your implants.

Anatomical breast implants (teardrop shaped) are meant to mimic the shape of natural breast tissue and have a fuller lower portion that tapers toward the top. These highly cohesive silicone implants have a textured implant shell to prevent them from rotating within the breast pocket. However, due to safety concerns and FDA recommendations, the implant manufacturer Allergan has recalled the majority of their Natrelle® textured implants. At Advanced Aesthetics, patient safety is our number one concern, and we no longer use shaped implants due to their textured surface.

As you may be aware, the FDA made a recommendation to the Allergan Company to recall their macro-textured breast implant devices. As always, our primary concern at Advanced Aesthetics is the safety of our patients. The FDA is not making a recommendation to have already implanted devices removed at this point. However, macro-textured implants or tissue expanders will not be inserted going forward. We are welcoming any of our patients or any new patients to please call us with any questions so we can provide you with the latest updates.
