What To Expect During My Breast Augmentation Consultation
Breast Implant Placement
Breast augmentation requires a surgical procedure under general anesthesia. Before the procedure, Dr. Smith will walk you through options like over (sub-glandular) or under (submuscular) the chest muscle to choose the best placement for natural, lasting results.
Breast Augmentation Incisions
Dr. Darren helps minimize scarring with advanced surgical techniques and discreet incision options: under the breast (inframammary), around the nipple (periareolar), or in the armpit (transaxillary).

Frequently Asked Questions about Breast Augmentations
How long do breast implants last?
Breast implants are not lifetime devices, but they can last 10 to 20 years or longer. Results vary based on individual factors, implant type, and placement.
How much does breast augmentation cost?
The cost varies based on implant type and surgical technique. After your consultation, we’ll provide you with a detailed breakdown of costs.
Is breast augmentation covered by insurance?
Breast augmentation is usually not covered by insurance because it’s considered a cosmetic procedure. But there could be exceptions for post-mastectomy reconstruction or congenital breast deformities.
What are the risks of breast augmentation?
Like any surgery, breast augmentation comes with risks, including capsular contracture, infection, and implant asymmetry .
Should I have a mammogram following breast augmentation?
Yes, continue regular mammograms after breast augmentation, but take note that you may need specialized techniques to ensure accurate imaging. Inform your radiologist about your implants so they can adjust them accordingly.
Can breast implants affect breastfeeding?
Most women can breastfeed after breast augmentation, but it depends on the implant placement and incision type. We use surgical techniques that preserve breastfeeding ability whenever possible.
Will there be visible scars after surgery?
Yes, but we make sure to place incisions in discreet locations for minimal scarring. Over time, scars can fade and become less noticeable.
