The costs of a BBL are highly dependent on the volume of liposuction planned. In general, in this area, we simply add a certain amount for the actual fat transfer to the cost of liposuction. Range in total would be $7000-$12000.

I would say that returning to work at 1 week is definitely possible as long as you are not using your upper body at work. As for keeping it a secret, that is definitely possible depending on the implant size as well as the clothes you wear.

'Under the muscle' placement of implants generally is not very accurate. The lower 1/4 to 1/3 of the implant, when going 'under the muscle', is, in fact, usually not 'under the muscle'. It is covered by skin and breast tissue. The upper 2/3rd's is usually covered by skin, breast tissue and muscle. I personally place all implants under the muscle except for a very specific situation called 'tubular breasts'. The advantages that the LA surgeon laid out are exactly what I tell my patients.

Shaped implants can certainly be a good option for many women depending on the anatomy we are starting with. If the goal is to minimize the upper pole fullness and maintain the most natural appearance a shaped device is certainly something to consider.

ANSWER
Saline implants have the advantage of 'telling' you when they need to be replaced (ie: deflation). Silicones do not do this. Some surgeons suggest replacing every 10 years. Some do not. IMO, replacing silicones at 10 years if they look and feel good is probably not necessary. However, an MRI test could be considered to help rule out a leak. In your situation, with the rash, etc, it's best to return to the original surgeon (if available), or another board cert plastic surgeon.
