Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
How Much Does a Mommy Makeover Cost?
Mommy makeover costs
Aug 29, 2017
Other than a simple breast augmentation, the total cost of a mommy makeover procedure can vary from patient to patient based on the complexity and the size of the procedures. A breast lift adds a significant amount of time and complexity to a case in comparison to a simple breast augmentation. Some may need to combine the two procedures for the most ideal result and most also undergo a tummy tuck as well during a mommy makeover. The main variable in…
When Does Swelling After Breast Augmentation Begin to Subside?
Swelling after breast augmentation
Aug 29, 2017
Swelling and tightness after breast augmentation is very normal, especially if your skin was tight and you didn’t have much laxity in your breasts preoperatively. I typically tell my patients to expect being high, tight and a little swollen for at least 3-4 weeks and not to go shopping for bras until this has settled. That way, they don’t buy bras that won’t fit well once the breasts have eventually settled into their final position. Also most may no realize this,…
How Much Do Breast Implants Cost?
Breast Augmentation costs
Aug 28, 2017
Although the costs of breast augmentation can vary significantly from region to region, the major factors are the surgeons fee, the costs of the implants and the facility and anesthesia fees. The way the costs are structured can vary significantly between practices as some doctors operate in hospital facilities and some may use private surgery centers. In the former, the surgeon only collects his fee for the surgery and maybe the implants but you may receive bills…
Breast Augmentation Recovery: What Can I Expect?
Recovery after breast augmentation
Aug 28, 2017
Breast augmentation is one of our most popular procedures. The recovery is usually very mild in most of my patients, although this can vary based on each patients pain tolerance. I encourage mobilization immediately after surgery, including moving the arms even above their heads that evening to encourage the muscle to stay as relaxed as possible. This aids in rapid recovery and most patients can even shower and wash their hair the next day. Only a soft cotton…
How Much Does a Tummy Tuck Cost?
Tummy Tuck Costs
Aug 28, 2017
Since every one’s case is a bit different in complexity, there is usually a range in total costs for a procedure such as a tummy tuck. A more complex or larger tummy tuck will take much longer to perform and will drive the cost up due to increased anesthesia and facility fees based on time. What type of facility your surgeon operates in, such as a hospital or surgery center, will effect these costs greatly. Surgeons that are certified with the American Board of Plastic Surgery…
At What Age Do Your Breast Stop Developing?
Breast Development
Aug 28, 2017
Everyone is a little different in their breast development. Some develop the full size of their breasts earlier than others. In general, most have full breast development by 18-21 years of age. Also, weight gain/loss, pregnancy/lactation, and medications that contain hormones (ie. oral contraceptives) can play a role in development and final breast size. If after your breasts have fully developed you wish a fuller size, a breast augmentation with an implant may be a…
Going to get breast augmentation done…do I need lift? Hope not.
Do you need a lift…
Jan 27, 2017
Based on the picture provided it is hard to tell for sure if a breast lift would be mandated. Your nipple/areolar position although lower does appear to be within the norm, but a side view would help confirm it’s position relative to your breast crease. Although your breasts appear to be significantly deflated and your skin quite thin, it may be possible to achieve an acceptable result with just an implant alone. Certainly this would depend on your expectations and of course the…
