[accordion-item title=”Who Is a Candidate for Breast Augmentation?”]
You may be a good candidate for breast augmentation if you are unhappy with the shape or size of your breasts. Breast augmentation surgery can also correct asymmetrical or underdeveloped breasts. Patients will see best results if they are physically healthy and have realistic expectations.

[accordion-item title=”Breast Implant Options”]
Breast augmentation surgery places implants to increase or restore fullness to the breasts. We offer breast implant types in both saline and silicone options.
- Saline Implants: Saline implants are made of a silicone shell filled with a sterile, salt water solution and offer a firm, uniform shape to the breasts. These implants are approved for use in patients 18 years and older.
- Silicone Implants: Silicone implants are made of a silicone shell filled with a silicone gel. Many patients say these implants feel closest to natural breast tissue. They are approved for patients 22 years and older.
Our goal is to provide you with the option that will add ideal shape and size to your chest, giving you the exact proportions you desire.

[accordion-item title=”Incision Placement Options”]
In addition to restoring self-confidence, a properly sized and shaped bust line will greatly improve your clothing options. Depending on the type of clothing you choose to wear, our plastic surgeons will help you choose a breast augmentation implant incision option that will be unnoticeable to anyone but you. Common breast augmentation incision options include:
- Transaxillary: This incision is made in the armpit, which offers the benefit of no scarring on the breast.
- Inframammary: This incision is made along the lower breast fold, which easily disguises any scarring.
We have found that submuscular breast implant placement offers the most natural look while also minimizing risks such as capsular contracture. Moreover, this placement option allows you to wear bathing suits and sports bras without the appearance of obvious implants.

[accordion-item title=”Breast Augmentation Recovery”]
Patients can expect to take 7-10 days of downtime to recover from breast augmentation surgery. Some patients may be able to be up and walking the day after surgery, but it is important to rest and avoid any heavy lifting. A week after surgery, a follow-up appointment is needed to ensure incision sites are healing correctly.

[accordion-item title=”How long do results from breast augmentation surgery last?”]

[accordion-item title=”Will breast augmentation interfere with breastfeeding?”]
Breast augmentation should not interfere with your ability to breastfeed. Some incision options may cause decreased nipple sensitivity, and implant placement options can reduce breast milk flow, however, these complications are rare.
Our surgeons take great care in the placement of your breast implants at Star Plastic Surgery. We do not offer periareolar incisions, eliminating any risk associated with decreased nipple sensitivity. Our board certified plastic surgeons take the time necessary to provide you with a safe and effective breast enhancement procedure and to minimize any risk of future complications with breastfeeding.

[accordion-item title=”Will breast augmentation interfere with mammograms?”]
Breast implants placed underneath the muscle do not interfere with mammograms. Our board certified breast surgeons place all of our patient’s implants underneath the muscles in the chest to ensure a natural look and to minimize complications like capsular contracture and interference with mammograms.
[/accordion-item]
[accordion-item title=”Is breast augmentation expensive?”]
The actual cost of your breast enhancement procedure will vary depending on factors including the amount of time surgery takes and the depth at which your breast implants are placed. Your final costs will include the fees of anesthesia, medical fluids, and on-hand medical professionals.
Since each patient is an individual and may have specific needs for their surgery, our doctors do not give breast enhancement quotes over the phone, nor do we place a general price guide on our website. After we have met with you personally and have had a chance to assess your needs, body type, and aesthetic desires, we will be able to provide you with a specific cost estimate for your desired procedure.
If you have additional questions about breast augmentation, contact the experienced surgeons at Star Plastic Surgery today to schedule your free consultation.
