Worried about the breast implant cost for your upcoming breast augmentation?

These days, it seems like there’s a way to get basically anything for a discount. Whether you buy used or refurbished or wait till “Black Friday” or “Cyber Monday”, many items can be purchased at a price cut.

Unfortunately, breast implant surgery is not one of them. And those considering an increase in breast size via surgery will typically run into price tags in the thousands or tens of thousands. Unlike other “medically necessary” surgeries, breast augmentation is not covered by health insurance in most cases.

This leaves those on a budget in a difficult situation. And to be sure, breast augmentation is generally regarded as a luxury that some individuals may not be able to afford.

If you are seriously considering breast augmentation, what we would like you to take away from this article is that the cost quoted for your procedure should not inform who you choose to be your plastic surgeon. In other words, a plastic surgeon who quotes a significantly lower price from other board certified plastic surgeons is a red flag.

The Danger of “Bargain” Breast Implant Surgery

Since the beginning of time, the human population has been the unfortunate victim of those who are all too willing to deceive. Call them fraudsters or imposters or just plain liars, the name doesn’t really matter. The fact is there are people out there who are willing to stretch the truth, take your money, and put your life at risk. And then they disappear.

When searching for a plastic surgeon for your breast augmentation, it is important to be aware that these types of people exist. With unfortunate frequency, such individuals open unaccredited “pop-up” clinics and tell potential patients that they can perform breast augmentation (or other plastic surgeries) for a fraction of the price that other, well-established and board certified plastic surgeons charge.

The outcome of these exchanges is often very sad. Not only do patients put their very lives at risk when going to such clinics, but results are seldom successful.

And of course, there is also the irony of the financial cost.

Following botched breast augmentations, for example, patients will need to undergo revision breast augmentation. These surgeries are even more difficult than initial breast augmentations. And because patients have finally realized they need to seek a professional board certified plastic surgeon, they end up paying for the full price of their surgery all over again — plus some, because the revision or breast implant removal cost is typically even more.

How to Choose a Plastic Surgeon for Breast Augmentation Surgery

When reviewing a surgeon and their plastic surgery practice, always be sure to check for the following:

Board Certification

Make sure that the plastic surgeon you choose for your breast augmentation is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. This shows you that they underwent extensive training and a rigorous formal residency in plastic surgery. The will have completed a difficult oral exam and an equally difficult written exam to finalize their board certification.

Proven Experience

Ask to see the surgeon’s before and after galleries, testimonials from past patients, and patient reviews. You want to ensure they have experience with the surgery you are interested in, in particular.

Access to an Accredited Surgical Facility

Surgeons must have privileges at at least one local hospital or accredited surgical facility. Dr. Schulman is unique in that he actually has his own accredited operating room at his practice.

Customized Treatment Plans

After discussing your goals, medical history, and other essential topics with your surgeon, they should give you their recommendations for next steps, including their suggested plan for surgery or alternative options so that you can choose what’s right for you.

A Good Rapport

Lastly, make sure you feel comfortable with your surgeon. They should spend adequate time with you, focus their attention on you, and answer any questions you may have thoroughly. Ensure you feel confident in their care.

FAQ: Breast Implant Surgery Cost

How much does a breast implant cost?

Breast augmentation costs can vary widely based on geographic location, surgeon choice, types of breast implants desired (saline implants, silicone implants, gummy bear implants, etc.), and other factors.

However, if you are quoted an extremely low breast augmentation cost, far below the average breast augmentation cost other board certified surgeons are giving you, consider this a red flag. Look at your surgeon’s credentials, skills, and experience first, and then consider cost. You should be able to get a total cost quote by booking a consultation appointment.

What does a breast implant replacement cost?

Patients often seek breast implant replacement because they want to go up or down a breast implant size or change the type of implant they have. You might decide to switch from silicone to saline breast implants, for example.

Other reasons for this breast surgery may be capsular contracture or a similar complication. Ultimately, the cost of implant replacement should be similar to the cost of breast augmentation. However, the former may be more expensive if extensive scar tissue needs to be removed or other specialized techniques are required.

How much does a breast lift and implant cost?

A breast lift with implants is a longer and more complex procedure than a standard breast augmentation (implants only), so the price will typically be higher. Cost factors to consider include your surgeon’s fees, anesthesia fees, hospital or facility fees, the breast implants cost, and the price of post-operative expenses. We recommend making a consultation appointment to receive an accurate price quote for this cosmetic surgery.

Breast implant placement refers to whether breast implants are placed under or over the chest muscle during breast augmentation surgery. Among many things you’ll need to decide upon before your augmentation — from breast implant type and breast implant size to implant shape and texture — the placement of your implants is another important decision.

As with any of these decisions, there are benefits and drawbacks to both placement options. But before you rush into one choice or the other, it’s important to have a good understanding of both. This is good information to have under your belt before your consultation appointment.

Is It Better to Get Breast Implants Under the Muscle or Over?

There is no single answer to this question. Every patient will be evaluated based on their own health and needs.

At your consultation appointment, Dr. Schulman will assess your anatomy and talk to you about your goals for surgery. These two areas, primarily, will help the two of you decide which placement is best for you.

Some patients will do better with beneath-the-breast-tissue implant placement (also known as subglandular placement). Other patients will be better suited to beneath-the-muscle placement (also known as submuscular placement. Let’s take a look at these two types of breast implant placement.

Subglandular Breast Implant Placement

Subglandular placement means that the breast implant is placed beneath the glandular tissue in the breast but above the pectoralis major chest muscle.

With this option, surgery times are often shorter, and recovery can sometimes be less uncomfortable and shorter as well. It is often the best option for women who are naturally petite and muscular or have an athletic body type.

One drawback to subglandular breast implants is that regular mammograms can be more difficult when it comes to imaging the breast. This is simply because the implant can obscure the imaging.

Some patients may also have a harder time with scar tissue forming into capsular contracture. And if the breast tissue is thin, implants are sometimes too noticeable (poor tissue coverage) when they sit on top of the muscle. Visible rippling can become an issue.

Submuscular Breast Implant Placement

Sometimes referred to as subpectoral implant placement, submuscular placement means that the implant is placed beneath the pectoralis major chest muscle.

This can be a good option in terms of achieving a natural look. Many patients say their breast implants look more natural when they are placed beneath the chest muscles. Visible rippling is not as much of a problem, and you cannot “feel” the implants as readily as sometimes when they are in front of the pectoralis muscle. It’s also easier to get a clear image when getting a mammogram.

On the other hand, capsular contracture may be more of a problem with submuscular placement. Patients may also experience a longer and more uncomfortable recovery, when compared with subglandular breast implants.

Although this option is not recommended for patients with thin breast tissue, if you have more tissue coverage but struggle with sagging breasts, it may be a good choice.

What Is the Dual Plane Technique?

Some surgeons may recommend the dual plane technique. This option will place the upper half of the implant beneath the pectoral muscle, closer to the chest wall. And the lower half will be right beneath the outer layer of breast tissue (but over the muscle) and closer to the skin.

The key advantage of this option is typically a more natural looking result. However, several factors will dictate whether it’s the best placement for you, so always discuss with your surgeon first.

Breast Implant Placement Q&A

What is the best placement of breast implants?

Of the two aforementioned breast implant placement options, submuscular placement is probably the most common choice for an augmented breast. However, both options have their merits, and most plastic surgeons regularly perform both types. It really depends on your unique breasts and anatomy and what your desired outcome is.

What is the safest placement for the breast implant?

There is no right or wrong answer to this question. In fact, there is research supporting subglandular placement being slightly safer because it reduces complications with the pectoralis major muscle.

But there is also research suggesting that submuscular placement is slightly safer because it’s less likely that capsular contracture will be a problem with this option. Ultimately, check with your surgeon to know whether submuscular or subglandular breast implants are right for you.

Is breast augmentation recovery different for subglandular vs submuscular placement of implants?

If you have your implants placed behind your breast tissue but on top of your chest muscle, your recovery time may be slightly faster and easier than with submuscular placement.

Book Your Consultation to Discuss Breast Augmentation

Ultimately, we recommend speaking with a board certified plastic surgeon to know for sure whether submuscular or subglandular placement is best for your upcoming breast augmentation surgery. All patients and all breast augmentation procedures are different, so you’ll need to meet with a professional for a detailed analysis of your anatomy and goals before making a final decision.

At your consultation appointment, you can look at breast implants before and after photos to get a good idea of what your results may look like and discuss what to expect during recovery. You’ll also get a chance to discuss your estimated breast augmentation cost, what types of implants are right for you, and how to know if it’s really an augmentation you need or a different procedure like breast lift surgery.

October 1, 2023/in Breast Implants, Breast Augmentation /by Dr. Matthew Schulman

According to national data, the most common reason for reoperation after breast augmentation is not implant rupture, infection, or scarring…it is size change!

“I wish i had bigger boobs” seems to always be something I hear during breast augmentation consultations.

It is all too common for women to undergo breast augmentation yet some girls still feel like they want to be bigger. As a board certified plastic surgeon specializes in cosmetic breast surgery, this makes me crazy because it is preventable.

Discuss “I Wish I Had Bigger Boobs” with Your Surgeon

So, how do you avoid becoming one of those “I wish I had bigger breasts” with my breast implants? It is all about proper selection of the implant size. This means an in-depth discussion with your surgeon about your expectations. You should bring a photograph to demonstrate what you want to look like.

This last point is important because I have had several women who have come to me saying things like “I want to be natural looking” or “I just want to be fuller, but I don’t want people to notice”.

This all sounds reasonable until they whip out a picture of Pamela Anderson Breast Augmentation to show me what they want! Clearly in this case there is a disconnect between what they want and what they say. Do you want have big boobs or do you want to be just a little fuller? These are things you should be clear about before you even arrive for your first consultation.

Next, your plastic surgeon should give you implants to try on. You should see how you look and feel with the new look. Sometimes, your surgeon will even let you take the breast implants home for a few days so that you guys can “test drive” your new breasts. Trying on the implants is a million times better than any expensive imaging program that your surgeon may use.

Also important is to understand how the implant will look after it is “inside” your body. Breast implants tend to look slightly smaller after they are inserted during surgery.

I notice that the implants look about 10% smaller. This means that if you like the way a 350 cc implant looks when you try it on, it may appear more like a 325 cc implant after surgery. In this case, you should consider having a 375 cc implant placed.

Discussion Between You and Your Surgeon about Bigger Boobs

So, as you can see, a good discussion between you and your surgeon about breast implant size and breast implant type should prevent you from being unhappy with your breast size afterwards. Many patients often have questions and would like to see breast augmentation before and after photos.

Breast Augmentations are a major component of my practice, and I pay particular attention to sizing the implant so that my patients are happy afterwards.

During our first visit, we discuss the surgery, the risks, and implant size. There is a lot to think about so I do not make anybody commit to the implant size to create small boobs or big breasts. If there is any doubt about size, my patients will return again specifically to discuss implant size and not be distracted by all the other details about surgery that we go over.

I also allow my patients to return as many times as they want to try on implants before surgery.

To date, I have had no woman return for reoperation purely because she thinks she chest is “too small” or they have small breasts after having their breast augmentation.

Avoid Bottoming Out

If a breast implant “bottoms out”, it drops below the normal breast fold. This causes the nipple to turn upward and appear near the top of the breast mound instead of over the center. Also, as the breast implant drops lower, the flat upper pole of the breast becomes flatter.

The cause of this is usually over aggressive dissection of the breast fold. If the surgeon disrupts the support structures of the normal breast fold, the fold weakens and cannot support the weight of the breast implant. Large and heavy breast implants may make this problem more likely.

Repair of this problem involves reconstructing the breast fold. This can be done with carefully placed internal sutures. Recently, surgeons are now using acellular dermis – either human or pig dermis – to help strengthen these internal sutures and to help support the breast implant in the normal position and prevent it from sliding lower.

Keep in mind that these materials provide great results and are recommended, but it can add about $2,000 to the cost of your breast augmentation surgery.

“Bottoming Out” is unfortunately common with breast implants and while we have very good and effective ways of repairing it, it is best not to suffer from this at all. Like everything in life, the key is prevention. Your surgeon must respect the breast fold of larger breasts.

The breast fold is a normal anatomic structure and care must be taken to not damage it during a breast augmentation (boob job). I should mention that it is standard to have to slightly lower the fold to accommodate breast implants, but this needs to be done carefully.

Also, very large implants which cause you to have large breasts in very thin women should be avoided because of this possible possible problem. This is a one of the breast augmentation complications your surgeon will discuss with you.

There are all types of breast implants available. And while the experience of choosing your new implants can be exciting, it’s also important to buckle down and get acquainted with each implant type so that you can make the best decision for your breast augmentation.

So, what types of breast implants are there?

Below, we’ll go over all breast implant types based on material, shape, texture, profile, and size. This should give you a good foundation to base your decision on. But of course, always set up a consultation appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to know for sure what breast implants will give you the look and feel you desire.

How to Choose the Best Breast Implants for Your Breast Augmentation

The ideal breast implant type for you and your breast implant surgery depends on your unique goals, body type, and preferences. Your breast augmentation surgeon will help you achieve the beautiful, natural-looking results you desire, tailored to your specific anatomy and aesthetic aspirations.

Breast Implant Material

Silicone Breast Implants

Silicone gel filled implants are commonly chosen for breast augmentations. They are well-liked by plastic surgeons, and these are also the types of implants breast augmentation patients seem to prefer.

Silicone implants are filled with a silicone gel that is akin to natural breast tissue. They provide a soft, realistic feel.

Silicone implants come in various shapes, including teardrop, ideal for a natural contour. They’re less prone to rippling and wrinkling, making them suitable for thinner breast tissue as well. Regular monitoring is advised to detect any potential issues.

Saline Breast Implants

Saline implants, filled with saltwater, offer adjustability during surgery. This allows for fine-tuning of size and symmetry. They provide a firmer feel in most cases.

Additionally with saline implants, ruptures are quickly noticeable, and this can offer peace of mind. In some cases, saline filled implants can result in a smaller breast implant scar because implant shells can be placed first, then filled with sterile salt water.

Gummy Bear Breast Implants

Gummy bear implants (not to be confused with structured saline breast implants) are made of form-stable, cohesive silicone gel. They maintain shape and provide a natural, anatomical contour.

They also carry a lower risk of wrinkling or folding and have a reduced rupture risk due to the cohesive gel’s stability. Some may find them slightly firmer, depending on personal preference.

Breast Implant Shape

Round Implants

Both saline and silicone implants can be round. Round breast implants are symmetrical and provide fullness in both the upper and lower poles of the breast. This can create a balanced, youthful appearance.

Teardrop Implants (Anatomical Implants)

Teardrop implants have a tapered shape, with more fullness in the lower portion. They are designed to mimic the natural slope of the breast.

Breast Implant Texture

Smooth Breast Implants

Smooth implants have a soft, smooth surface. They can move and rotate within the breast pocket, providing a natural look and feel. Patients may choose smooth implants over textured implants as they are less associated with the rare illness, BIA-ALCL (not to be confused with breast implant illness).

In some cases, smooth implants are associated with a higher risk for the buildup of scar tissue (capsular contracture), which may lead to breast pain and complications.

Textured Breast Implants

Textured implants have a rough surface that adheres to the surrounding tissue. This reduces the risk of implant rotation and potentially lowers the risk of capsular contracture. Teardrop shape implants generally have a texture.

Breast Implant Profile

Low profile implants have a wider base and less projection, making them suitable for those seeking a subtle enhancement.

Moderate profile implants offer a balanced projection and width, often chosen for a natural appearance.

High profile implants have a narrower base and greater projection, providing a more pronounced and dramatic result.

Breast Implant Size

Selecting the right breast implant size for your breast implant procedure is a crucial aspect of breast augmentation. Breast implants are measured in cubic centimeters (cc).

To determine the ideal size, patients can work closely with their plastic surgeon, who will consider factors such as body type, chest width, existing breast tissue, and aesthetic goals.

During consultations, surgeons often provide “sizers” – temporary implants that patients can try on beneath their clothing. It’s essential to communicate openly with your surgeon about your goals and preferences. This will help you achieve the best possible result to enhance your overall appearance while maintaining a natural look and feel.

Schedule Your Breast Implant Consultation Appointment

If you are hoping to undergo breast augmentation surgery, no doubt you have already been thinking about whether you want saline or silicone implants, round or teardrop implants, or large or small implants. After all, different types of breast implants can yield drastically different results, and you want to get it right the first time.

Gaining knowledge in this area and weighing your options is a good place to start — whether it’s reviewing various types of breast implants brands or watching patient-made videos on YouTube. Your next step should be to schedule a breast surgery consultation appointment with board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Matthew Schulman.

Dr. Schulman is happy to discuss all of your options with you. Once you meet, together, you can weigh the pros and cons of each implant type, talk about your breast augmentation surgery cost, look at breast implants before and after photos, and go over breast augmentation recovery week by week.

Breast Augmentation with breast implants in NYC is the most popular procedure performed by Board Certified Plastic Surgeons. There were over 325,000 breast augmentations performed in the United States last year, making it the number one procedure.

The number of breast augmentation procedures has been increasing about 4% each year. The advancing implant technology, combined with improved surgical techniques that offer a more rapid recovery, are some of the reasons why this procedure continues to become more popular year after year.

Breast Augmentation surgery is a procedure to increase the size of the breasts by inserting breast implants. These implants can be made out of either silicone gel or saline. The implants make the breast larger, rounder, and fuller. Breast Augmentation surgery is often combine with other plastic surgery procedures such as tummy tucks, liposuction, and Brazilian butt lifts.

If you’ve undergone breast augmentation and are currently pregnant or planning to start a family, you might have questions about the safety of breastfeeding with breast implants. Firstly, it is entirely safe for your baby to breastfeed even if you have breast implants.

However, for a comprehensive understanding of how breast augmentation could potentially impact your breastfeeding experience, Dr. Matthew Schulman, a distinguished and board-certified plastic surgeon in New York City, is here to provide you with valuable insights.

Can You Breastfeed with Breast Implants

Whether you have saline or silicone breast implants, breastfeeding is considered safe. Since the implant is positioned behind the mammary glands, it seldom interferes with the ducts and glands. The silicone implants employed in contemporary implants is unlikely to migrate into breast milk, and in the event of a saline breast implants rupture, you’ll promptly detect it.

Many women fear that if they get breast implants, it will interfere with their ability to breast feed a child. This is not true. When breast augmentation surgery is properly performed, there is virtually no disruption of the normal anatomy of the breasts. This means that the breast feeding mechanisms are completely unaffected. The implants are either placed under the breast tissue or under the chest muscle. This means that the breast producing gland is untouched, and the milk ducts that bring milk to the nipple, are not cut.

This means that if you were able to breast feed, then you still will be able to breast feed. What is important to acknowledge is that not every woman is normally able to breast feed. Some are unable to produce enough milk to sustain a baby. Studies have shown that as many as 5% of all women (without implants) are physically unable to breast feed.

So, it is follows that at least 5% of women who undergo breast implant surgery, will be unable to breast feed. However, this has nothing to do with the breast augmentation surgery. The presence of a breast implant will also not harm a breast feeding baby.

Breast Surgery procedures like breast lifts and breast reduction do carry a risk of interfering with your ability to breast feed, since these procedures involve directly cutting the breast tissue and even removing some tissue.

Can Breast Augmentation Impact Breastfeeding?

Breastfeeding is generally considered safe after breast implants, and the procedure itself should not significantly affect your ability to breastfeed. However, the key factor to consider is the placement of the implant, which may influence milk supply.

There are two primary methods for implant placement:

Submuscular: In this method, the implant is positioned beneath both the mammary glands and the pectoral muscle.
Subglandular: Here, the implant is situated beneath the breast tissue but above the muscle.

In both cases, the implant is positioned behind the milk ducts, typically not affecting milk supply or the ability to nurse successfully.

The most critical factor affecting breastfeeding outcomes is the location of the breast implant incision made during the breast augmentation procedure. Most breast augmentation surgeries involve an incision along the inframammary fold, which is the natural crease where the breast and chest meet. The incision is below the breast, and the implant is placed from this point, generally avoiding the areas of the breast related to nursing.

However, if the incision is made through the areola, there is a possibility that nerves and ducts may be separated, which can occasionally interfere with the letdown reflex responsible for signaling your body to release breast milk. Women who experience a loss of sensation in the nipple area are at a higher risk for this complication.

While the majority of women with breast implants can successfully breastfeed after their surgery, if you encounter challenges with milk supply or the letdown reflex, consulting a lactation specialist can often provide valuable assistance in addressing these issues.

Does Breastfeeding Impact the Appearance of Breast Implants?

Apart from concerns about how breast augmentation might affect breastfeeding, many women also wonder about the impact of breastfeeding on the appearance of their different types breast implants. Pregnancy and nursing can bring about alterations in breast tissue, such as changes in size, shape, and potential sagging.

Fortunately, a study at Yale University School of Medicine, revealed no discernible differences in measurements or sagging between women with implants who breastfed after pregnancy and those who did not.

It’s important to recognize that each woman’s body reacts uniquely to pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you do notice changes in your breast appearance and feel that your implants no longer complement your post-pregnancy physique, or if you have concerns about sagging or excess volume, Dr. Matthew Schulman is available to assist you with implant revision or removal procedures, ensuring an outcome that aligns with your comfort and preferences.

Questions and Answers

Is it harder to breastfeed with implants?

Breast implants positioned beneath the muscle typically have a milder impact on breast milk production compared to implants placed above the muscle.

Will breastfeeding change my implants?

No, even though the size and shape of your breasts may undergo changes during pregnancy and breastfeeding, your breast implant size will remain unaffected.

Breast implants are shielded by breast tissue and muscle, ensuring that your baby cannot cause any harm to them while nursing.

What happens to breast implants when pregnant?

While implants themselves do not change during pregnancy, hormonal fluctuations, breast milk production (lactation), and weight gain can lead to skin stretching, which may subsequently result in sagging when the breasts return to their pre-pregnancy size.

Do breast implants affect the quality of breast milk?

Procedures like breast augmentation, breast lift, and breast reduction can potentially influence the nerves and ducts within the breast, which in turn may have an impact on lactation.

Generally, breast implants positioned beneath the muscle tend to have a milder effect on breast milk production compared to implants placed above the muscle.

What happens to breast tissue when you get implants?

Your body can develop firm tissue, known as a capsule, around the implant. Over many years, this may result in the breast feeling firm, uncomfortable, and undergoing a change in shape for some women.

Embarking on the path to breast augmentation is an exciting decision that promises not just physical transformation but also a renewed sense of self-confidence. Of course, as with any important journey, proper preparation is key to ensuring a smooth experience.

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through the essential steps to prepare for breast implant surgery and address some common questions that may arise along the way.

Before and After Breast Implants: How Your Life Will Change

Breast implant surgery holds the potential to profoundly impact your life. From boosting your self-esteem to enhancing your body proportions, this procedure offers a chance to achieve the look you’ve always desired. With careful preparation, you’re setting the stage for a remarkable before and after journey that will positively influence your self-image and overall well-being.

Are You Emotionally Ready for Breast Implants?

Before delving into the logistical aspects of preparation, take a moment to reflect on your emotional readiness for breast implants. Consider your motivations, expectations, and your overall physical and mental health. A candid assessment of your desires and commitment will ensure that you approach this procedure with realistic expectations and a confident mindset.

As you continue considering breast augmentation and breast implants, be sure to conduct your own research on the procedure as well. You’ll want to find the right plastic surgeon who can achieve the changes you’re looking for and have a good understanding of the steps required.

Breast Implants Before and After: Critical Steps

Step 1: Decide if you’re ready.

Ensure your decision aligns with your personal goals and lifestyle. Assess your motivations and be prepared for a positive transformation.

Step 2: Research plastic surgeons.

Thoroughly research board certified plastic surgeons with expertise in breast augmentation. Read reviews, view before and after photos, and ensure you choose a surgeon who has a strong track record of patient satisfaction.

Step 3: Attend consultation appointments.

Consultations are crucial. Discuss your goals, ask questions, and gain insights into the procedure, recovery, and potential outcomes.

Step 4: Select a surgeon and choose your implants.

It’s important that you’re choosing your plastic surgeon based on their experience, abilities, and bedside manner. You want to feel comfortable with them and trust them.

Work with your surgeon to select implants that complement your body proportions and desired outcome.

Step 5: Attend to your physical well-being.

Leading up to the plastic surgery itself, prioritize your health with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and staying hydrated.

Step 6: Mentally prepare for breast augmentation surgery.

Surgery can be stressful. Patients who cultivate a positive mindset and manage their anxieties with healthy coping strategies will do the best before, during, and after surgery. Be sure to stay informed, visualize positive outcomes, and engage in relaxation techniques for the body and mind.

Step 7: Prepare for your recovery.

Create a comfortable space at home, arrange for assistance during your recovery, and have all necessary supplies ready. Fortunately, your breast augmentation recovery week by week can go swiftly in most cases. Simply follow your surgeon’s directions, get plenty of rest, make healthy choices, and keep looking forward.

Breast Augmentation Preparation: Commonly Asked Questions

How much do breast implants cost?

Each person who undergoes surgery on their breasts is unique, so breast implant costs vary widely based on factors such as location, surgeon expertise, and implant type. For all women, the total cost of breast augmentation will include surgeon fees, anesthesia costs, facility costs, and implant expenses.

Is a breast lift with implants before and after the same as a breast lift alone?

In essence, the key difference lies in the incorporation of implants in the breast lift process. While a breast lift alone focuses on reshaping existing tissue, a breast lift with implants offers the opportunity to enhance both breast implant size and contour. Ultimately, the choice between the two approaches depends on your specific aesthetic goals and the recommendations of a skilled plastic surgeon.

When will I see my results after breast augmentation?

While initial results will be visible after swelling subsides in a few weeks, the full outcome can take several months as your body adjusts and heals.

Will I have a breast implant scar?

Your body’s ability to heal is incredible, and incision scars are inevitable. Still, skilled plastic surgeons will always place scars as strategically as possible for minimal visibility. Breast implant scar management techniques can further improve their appearance over time.

We invite you to take a look at some before and after photographs of breast augmentation surgery on our website. These pictures will help you get a better idea of what you can expect in terms of scarring.

Could you get breast implants before and after pregnancy?

Breast implants are compatible with pregnancy, but it’s recommended to wait until after you’ve completed your family to ensure stable results. Women who plan to have children should consult with their plastic surgeon before moving forward.

Can you nurse if you have breast implants?

Many patients who plan to continue to nurse after having children in the future hesitate to consider breast implants because they are worried about how nursing will go. Although sometimes women can breastfeed with implants, this is a legitimate concern as breast implants before and after nursing can also cause problems in some cases.

What’s key is to consider your options carefully. Waiting to get implants until you’re done having children is best. If you have implants and are pregnant and would like to nurse, talk with your surgeon and doctor to learn about your options.

August 1, 2023/in Breast Augmentation, Breast Implants /by Dr. Matthew Schulman

Patients will be happy to hear that breast augmentation surgery has one of the quickest recovery times out of all the surgeries we offer at Schulman Plastic Surgery.

When compared to procedures like tummy tucks, mommy makeovers, and Brazilian butt lifts — some of many women which require several weeks of downtime — breast augmentations usually only necessitate a few days off from work or school. Patients are able to resume their normal activities so quickly due to the the state-of-the-art rapid recovery techniques we employ.

Let’s take a closer look at what rapid recovery entails and what to expect from breast augmentation recovery week by week.

What Is Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation?

When rapid recovery breast augmentation techniques are used during breast augmentation procedure, what this really means is that Dr. Schulman is taking extra steps during your surgery to ensure less bruising, less swelling, and less pain — both during the surgical procedure itself and during your recovery. Likewise, the anesthesiologist will take additional steps while administering your anesthesia, and this will make your recovery easier as well.

Rapid recovery has worked impressively well for Dr. Schulman’s patients over the past decade. Most patients are able to bounce back in just a few days, whereas prior to the use of these techniques, it might have taken several weeks for patients to return to work and other activities.

As far as the surgical process itself, breast augmentation generally takes less than an hour to perform. Your procedure will take place under general anesthesia at Dr. Schulman’s fully certified and accredited office operating room.

Immediately after your surgery, you will be taken to a nearby recovery room where you will stay for about one hour until you feel well enough to go home, accompanied by a trusted friend or relative.

Before going home, you’ll be given a detailed list of recovery instructions. All of these instructions are critical to your surgery’s success. In order to ensure a great outcome and to prevent complications from your surgery, make sure you follow these instructions closely.

Weeks 1 and 2 of Breast Augmentation Recovery timeline

Again, one of the best things about breast augmentation surgery is that most patients can go back to their regular routine within the first few days after the procedure. Likewise, most patients have little to no discomfort or pain after the first few days. And even during this initial period, any pain that is experienced should be very minimal and require little to no pain medication. Some light soreness is normal. But other than this, most patients feel comfortable and generally mobile.

After about three days, most patients are able to return to school or work. One thing you may notice is that the overall size and shape of your breasts may appear a bit unnatural at first. This is simply because the skin needs time to stretch around the new breast implants. You’ll also have some postoperative swelling, which can distort the actual size of your breasts and make them appear larger than they really are. These types of symptoms may linger for several weeks or months, but over time, your breasts will settle into their correct position.

Remember that over the first few weeks of your recovery, you’ll need to take it easy. Even though you can return to a desk job or similar physical activity within a few days, this doesn’t mean you will be able to go back to exercising or working a physically demanding job right away. You need to avoid lifting anything over 10 pounds for at least several weeks and refrain from strenuous physical activities (especially stretching or straining your chest muscles) for several weeks as well.

Weeks 3 and 4 of Breast Augmentation Recovery timeline

Starting the third week of four weeks after breast augmentation and recovery, most patients will be cleared to return to light exercise, including cardio activity and/or strength training with weights. By this time, you should be feeling little to no soreness or discomfort. You may have some light bruising still, but this should be minimal. And any swelling will have gone down considerably by this time as well.

Most patients will need to continue wearing their postoperative soft surgical bra (or similar) in order to promote healing, reduce residual swelling, and keep the breasts in place for an optimal outcome. You’ll notice that as the swelling goes down and the tightness reduces, your breasts will “settle”, which basically means they’ll drop down to where they’re supposed to be. This will give you that nice, natural teardrop shape with more “underboob” than you initially had at the beginning of your recovery

FAQ: Breast Augmentation recovery timeline

Breast Augmentation Recovery

What are the worst days of breast augmentation recovery?

The majority of patients typically experience discomfort within the initial 24 to 48 hours following breast augmentation. Nevertheless, it’s essential to recognize that pain perception varies from one patient to another during the breast implant recovery process.

What happens if I overdo it after breast augmentation?

It’s crucial to grasp that pushing yourself too hard could raise the likelihood of potential complications. Excessive activity may lead to severe irritation and inflammation, issues that can arise in patients attempting to resume an active lifestyle too soon after surgery.

What’s the best bra to wear after a breast augmentation?

Referred to as compression bras, these are wire-free bras specifically designed for breast reduction and breast augmentation recovery. They are highly recommended for several reasons, including their ability to secure wound dressings in place and minimize implant movement. Find the ideal breast augmentation recovery bra for your needs today.

Can I go out 2 weeks after breast augmentation?

In general, most women require a recovery period of 1 to 2 weeks before they can comfortably return to their regular activities, with the possibility of resuming work as early as 3 to 5 days post-surgery. Optimal results for your breast augmentation are achieved when you allow your body ample time to heal.

What happens at a breast augmentation surgery consultation?

During your consultation appointment with Dr. Schulman, you’ll discuss what you’d like to achieve with breast augmentation surgery. Dr. Schulman will perform a short physical exam to look at your current breasts and let you know what your best options surgery breast augmentation are. You can take a look at different implant sizes and shapes and discuss placement and the cost of breast augmentation surgery as well. If you have any questions, be sure to bring them along.

What kind of anesthesia is used during breast augmentation?

Dr. Schulman performs breast augmentation using general anesthesia.

What kind of scars will I have after breast augmentation?

This depends on the method we use for surgery. For most patients, the safest and best incision location for breast augmentation surgery is right in the breast crease beneath the breast. This is where Dr. Schulman would insert the implant.

Therefore, this would be the location of the resulting scar tissue itself, although scars are minor with this surgery. Other possible incision locations include the armpit or around the areola.

July 31, 2023/in Breast Implants /by Dr. Matthew Schulman

There is a new weapon in the war against small breasts – breast implants that have adjustable volume. Adjustable breast implants have a port through which saline can be added or removed. This allows the volume to be adjusted for various reasons. Before you get too excited, these are not intended to allow women to increase their breast size for a night on the town, or decrease the size for that important business meeting.

The adjustment process involves a plastic surgeon placing a sterile needle through the skin into the fill port that is under the skin and meticulously adding or removing sterile saline solution. So it is a far cry from the Reebok Pump sneaker technology of the Eighties.

So why the need for this adjustable breast implants?

There are 3 situations in which I would use these adjustable implants in my breast practice:

1. To account for pre-operative differences in the shape and volume of the breasts. Breast asymmetry is very common and can make it difficult to choose the appropriately sized breast implants. A post-operative adjustable implant allows the surgeon to make small adjustments in the breast volume for months after the surgery, allowing better matching between asymmetric breasts.

2. To correct breast deformities such as Tuberous Breasts. Tuberous Breast Deformity is a fairly common condition characterized by an underdeveloped breast that is constricted at its base. Correction of this deformity involves placing a breast implant to increase the size (this is often only on one breast) and to correct the constricted base of the breast. Unfortunately, this cannot be done simply by placing a breast implant. You actually need to stretch the base of the breast.

A post operative adjustable breast implant allows the gradual expansion of the base of the breast to improve the shape and size.

3. To help women choose a breast size that they are happy with. The most common reason for breast implant reoperation is for a change in size. Some reports find that 25% of women ultimately undergo reoperation simply to increase/decrease the size of the implant.

A post operative adjustable implant allows the surgeon to place the implant to the desired volume and then over the next several months, small adjustments can be made until the woman is certain of the size.

Adjustable Breast Implants Have Some Drawbacks.

While this may make these implants sound like the best thing since sliced bread, there are some drawbacks.

• The implants are only saline, which have a tendency to be more visible, more palpable, show rippling and be more “unnatural” than their silicone cousins. They are also a little more expensive but you should never bargain shop your surgery.

• Adjusting the volume of the implant involves a visit to the doctor and a needle in the skin, which can cause pain and does carry some risk of infection.

• The fill port is palpable under the skin and may feel like a marble.

• Removal of the fill port involves a small office procedure.

• The range of each implant is limited (usually about 75cc in each direction) so you still need a basic idea of what size range you would like.

In my practice, 80% of the breast implants that I place today are silicone breast implants vs saline implants because I feel silicone are the most natural appearing (and feeling) implants. I do occasionally use adjustable implants though for the situations that I outlined above.

In the right circumstance, these implants are a powerful weapon in the field of breast surgery, especially in cases of marked breast asymmetry or congenital deformities.

Do Breast Implants Cause ALCL

Most recently in the news you may have heard about concerns involving an association with breast implants and a form of rare blood cancer. The safety of my patient’s is always my first priority and with the recent news headlines I want to provide you with accurate information.

Facts:

Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL) is an extremely rare form of blood cancer – 1 out of every 500,000 women in the US are diagnosed and according to the National Cancer Institute, ALCL in the breast tissue is found in 3 out of every 100 million women nationwide without implants.

Nearly, 10 million women have breast implants and 34 unique cases world wide of ALCL in women with implants have been placed.

Breast implants for breast enhancement surgery are still FDA approved and the FDA along with plastic surgery governing societies feel breast implants remain safe and effective for women who are in good physical and mental health. Women with breast implants don’t need to change their medical care and should continue to follow normal routine – self exam and mammography when appropriate.

If changes to your breasts are detected or breast pain contact your board certified plastic surgeon.

The FDA, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, along with health care professionals and manufactures will continue to monitor silicone implants and saline implants to ensure the patient remains educated and safe.

July 13, 2023/in Breast Implants, Breast Augmentation /by Dr. Matthew Schulman

Sometimes, the only thing holding a patient back from moving forward with breast augmentation is concern about having a breast implant scars.

Are you concerned about breast implant placement and scars locations? Want to make sure no one knows you’ve had surgery? Or, simply don’t want a pesky scar to mar your results?

Let’s take a look at some important facts about breast implant scar locations and how you can minimize the appearance and make your implant scars nearly imperceptible with just a few simple steps.

But first, do you have to have scars from breast implants?

Will I Have Breast Augmentation Scars?

In a word, yes. Whenever there is an incision involved in surgery, there’s going to be a scar. And breast implant surgery does require incisions so that the saline implants or silicone gel implants can be placed. Therefore, there will be scars from surgical procedures.

The good news, however, is that breast implant scars are usually not noticeable — especially after some time has passed and especially if you take the necessary steps to minimize scarring and limit their appearance.

So, where is the scar when you get breast implants? It won’t always be the same for every patient. Let’s take a closer look.

Breast Augmentation Scars Location

Breast implant scar locations depend on several factors, including what type of surgery is being performed, whether breast lift is also being performed, what type of implant is being used (saline vs. silicone, textured vs. smooth, etc.), and the anatomy of the patient.

Generally speaking, breast implant scar locations (where the scar healing the implants are inserted) may be:

In the breast crease or breast tissue fold, beneath the breast tissue(inframammary incision)
In the armpit (transaxillary incision)
At the areola’s edge (periareolar incision)

How big are they?

This also depends, but typically, each breast augmentation or scar tissue is approximately 1.5 inches to 2.5 inches long.

Dr. Matthew Schulman uses advanced breast augmentation techniques to create his implant incisions. One such technique is the short-scar breast augmentation, which features the Keller Funnel. He also uses Botox-assisted breast augmentation.

Botox-assisted breast augmentation has a range of benefits. It can first reduce or eliminate the need for narcotic pain meds. It can reduce scar tissue and can also reduce the sensation of tightness post-surgery and decrease muscle pain overall. Finally, Botox-assisted breast augmentation can provide faster final results and will certainly cut the time patients need to refrain from certain activities.

Do Breast Implant Scars Go Away?

With time, breast implant scars will fade considerably, but they will never completely go away. Basically, they can become nearly invisible if you take care of them correctly.

So, how do you hide breast implant scars?

You should start by paying close attention to the aftercare instructions provided by Dr. Schulman. You’ll receive a packet of information after your surgery that will explain to you exactly how to properly care for your incisions, what to refrain from doing during your recovery, and how to spend most of your time (rest is key). Follow this closely and if you have questions, do not hesitate to ask.

Within your instructions, you will be directed to avoid physically exerting yourself. That means not lifting heavy objects and not getting tired and sweaty through exercise. Some slow and gentle walking for short distances is fine when you are able. In fact, frequent ambulation (movement) after surgery is good and will help reduce your pain and inflammation. Overall, you don’t want to move too much or too quickly because you could pull your stitches or sutures, which can worsen scarring.

Make sure you also stay out of the sun during your recovery. Exposing your scars to sunlight can make them more apparent over time. Finally, drink plenty of water and eat a healthy diet. Hydrated, healthy skin doesn’t scar as badly as dehydrated skin. If, after your incisions have healed, you want to take your scar concealment a step further, you might also try silicone treatments. Silicone scar reducing sheets can often inhibit your breast augmentation scar and reduce the appearance of even more.

In rare cases where breast implant scars are still noticeable and you would like to reduce their the appearance of scars even more, breast implant scar removal is possible through techniques such as dermabrasion and laser skin resurfacing and the body’s natural healing process.

Questions and Answers

How do they hide breast implant scars?

With inframammary side incision technique you ensure that the breast implant scar are usually slender, measuring approximately one to two inches in length, and can be conveniently concealed beneath a bikini top. Employing this technique, the incisions are strategically placed horizontally along the crease of the breasts, resulting in less conspicuous scars compared to vertical incisions on the breasts.

Where are the scars for breast enlargement?

One commonly utilized incision site for breast augmentation is the inframammary fold, which refers to the area underneath the breast where its lower part meets the upper abdomen. This location is widely favored for performing the procedure.

What is the least scarring boob job?

Transaxillary Endoscopic Breast Augmentation (TEBA) is a surgical technique that involves creating an transaxillary incision through a fold in the underarm area. Dr. Schulman skillfully makes a discreet 1.5″ incision in natural skin tone the underarm, typically within the natural crease, resulting in an almost imperceptible scar.

What is the best incision for breast implant surgery?

Inframammary Surgical Incisions is highly versatile, allowing for the insertion of various types of breast implants. It provides plastic surgeons with excellent visibility during the breast augmentation procedure. Furthermore, it has a remarkable healing capability, eventually resulting in a nearly invisible scar that aligns with the natural folds of the skin.

What will my breast implant scars after 6 months look like?

With the approval of your plastic surgeon, gentle massaging can assist in smoothing out any ridges and flattening the scars. After 6 months of breast augmentation, the scars typically exhibit a subtle brown or light pink shade. They might also have a slight elevation and minimal swelling in the surrounding region.
