WHAT IS BREAST AUGMENTATION?

Breast augmentation is most often referred to as a “boob job.” The procedure changes the shape and size of the breasts with silicone or saline implants. Silicone implants are available for patients over 21 years old, and saline implants are approved by the FDA for patients over 18 years old. There are other considerations when choosing a type of breast implant, such as shape, texture, and feel.

WHAT ARE BREAST IMPLANTS?

Breast implants are silicone shells that are filled with silicone or saline. The implants come in a variety of sizes and shapes. When breast implants were first introduced, women only had one choice — round silicone implants. While this worked for many women, some wanted other options to maintain a more natural breast shape. Form-stable implants, or gummy bear breast implants, are firmer than traditional implants and maintain their shape even when the implant shell is broken. The consistency of the silicone gel inside the implant is thicker than traditional silicone gel implants. During your consultation, Dr. Shah will describe your implant options and explain the advantages of each.

WHAT IS BREAST IMPLANT REMOVAL?

Dr. Shah also sees women who want to remove their implants after having breast augmentation. A patient may wish to remove the breast implants completely or replace the current implants. Some of the reasons why women opt for breast implant removal are:

• Change in lifestyle or body image
• Breast implants reach the end of the lifecycle
• Personal choice to have an implant of a different size, shape, or texture

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BREAST AUGMENTATION?

• Enhances body proportions
• May boost self-esteem
• Tailored to lifestyle and personal desires
• Several breast implant options

WHAT ARE THE RISKS OR COMPLICATIONS OF BREAST AUGMENTATION?

The risks of breast augmentation surgery includes but not limited to bleeding, infection, injury to nearby structures, scarring, wound healing issues, pneumothorax, implant rupture, implant leak, capsular contracture, etc, can happen. Recently, there have been few incidences of Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL) and Breast Implant related Illness (BII).

HOW MUCH DOES BREAST AUGMENTATION COST IN NEW YORK, NY?

The cost of breast augmentation for women varies. Factors that affect the cost of your breast augmentation include your choice of implant, placement, personal anatomy, and other factors that are evaluated during the consultation. To help you have a budget in mind when you meet with Dr. Shah, we invite you to learn about our financing options. We provide a specific cost for your boob job during the consultation.

ABOUT THE COST OF BREAST AUGMENTATIONS

At Shah Plastic Surgery, we understand that affordability is one of the factors that influence a woman’s choice to have breast augmentation. As you consider the benefits of breast augmentation, you may be swayed to seek out the practice that offers the best cost for your budget. You may also hear about “medical tourism” for breast augmentation where women travel outside the United States to the Dominican Republic, Columbia, and other international destinations for their breast surgery. We caution our patients about this practice, and here are some aspects to consider.

• The cost of traveling internationally is equal to or higher than the cost of breast augmentation at a reputable plastic surgery clinic in the United States.
• The U.S. has some of the highest standards of care for plastic surgery and boob jobs, and you may not receive the same level of care before, during, and after the procedure.
• Aftercare can either contribute to or detract from the results of your breast augmentation, and traveling internationally means that your plastic surgeon is not accessible should any issues arise.
• Plastic surgery clinics that offer lower pricing may compromise in ways that ultimately save money for the clinic, such as performing the same procedure/technique on every woman regardless of anatomy, personal desires, and other important considerations.
• The most cost-effective way to get a boob job is to have the surgery performed right the first time, saving you the expense of revision surgeries, reduced self-esteem, and costly follow-up appointments to remedy scarring, implant shifting and other problems.

At Shah Plastic Surgery, our top priority is keeping you safe and healthy while supporting your aesthetic goals.

RAPID RECOVERY BREAST AUGMENTATION IN NYC

Breast augmentation is a highly variable procedure, so we explain the details of your procedure during the consultation. Dr. Shah’s techniques are designed to reduce the downtime required after undergoing breast augmentation by speeding up the healing process. Our rapid recovery approach aims to cut down the amount of time patients need to take off from work and their lives. It can also minimize tissue damage and the bleeding and bruising that typically accompanies any surgical procedure. While experiences vary, for most of our patients, recovery is not only shorter, but more comfortable, as well.

To foster a rapid recovery, we encourage patients to move around after returning home from surgery. You should expect to be completely healed in about six months to one year. You will have scars, but they will be in places where they are not visible to most people. The scars heal as a pinkish or tan color and will fade over time but will not completely disappear. If you have had breast surgery in the past, we use existing scar lines for incisions.
