I want breast implants. Live in Dallas, TX. Need pricing. Willing to travel. No more than 4,500 to spend (Photo)

Question

I have no cleavage. I also scar pretty easily. I have hypertrophic scarring from belly button rings. What incision would be best? I want a full C and as natural as possible. Draya Michelle has my goal breasts.

The least expensive breast augmentation in Dallas can be found at the two training centers: DPSI aesthetic fellowship and UTSW resident/fellow clinic. You have to apply to become a patient in both centers as they are quite popular. At those programs your surgery is performed by a senior resident or fellow of plastic surgery under the supervision of an experienced plastic surgeon. Attached is a link with more info. You should discuss size and shape goals with your plastic surgeon. Due to the wide space in your cleavage, you might consider fat grafting in this area in addition to your implants. Best of luck!

Hello,Assuming you have saline implants (about $500) placed in an accredited surgery center (about $1500),  this leaves the surgeon with $2500, slightly more than half of the average fee quoted for ABPS certified plastic surgeons. This means  you will either be looking to cheaper alternatives like non-ABPS certified docs, or certified surgeons that are not doing well and willing to work cheap. This is a recipe for disaster. Best of luck!

Thanks for the question. I recommend you, to use a microtexturized highly cohesive silicone implant ("gummy bear" implants), with high projection, and volumes between 450ml-500ml to fill the breasts properly.Kind regards

Thanks for your question and pictures.  You appear to be a good candidate for a breast augmentation.  Reaching your wish pic goals may be difficult because you appear to have wide separation of your breasts and even with augmentation, you may continue to have some separation.  Make sure you meet with a board certified plastic surgeon who takes time to make proper measurements and discuss your goals thoroughly.  Cost should always be a factor in choosing your surgeon, but it should not be the only one.  Saline implants will be less costly than silicone implants and may fall within your range.  If you do scar easily, there are options to try and minimize issues postoperatively.  Make sure you choose someone relatively close by to allow for good follow up.

Just based upon your photo, you appear to be a good candidate for breast augmentation. Pricing will vary based upon geographic location, surgeon expertise, type of surgical facility used, type of anesthesia provider used, and implant type. While cost should be a factor in your decision making, make sure it is not your ONLY deciding factor. Since you do have a tendency to form scars, you may need additional follow up so look into your local options first! Also remember to choose a board certified plastic surgeon who actually takes the time to measure you and examine your breast pocket. The goal of breast augmentation is to optimally fill your breast pocket, not to overstuff or understuff it. At my practice, we utilize a series of 5 breast measurements that help me determine the implant size, which in turn helps me deliver a 24 hour recovery. Do your research and choose a surgeon who takes the time to sit down with you and discuss your goals/expectations to determine the best size for you. Good luck!!

You live in one of the major plastic surgery cities in the united states. There are lots of qualified and talented surgeons who can perform your breast augmentation. You should do some research on plastic surgeons in your area and consult with 2-3 of them. Only they can talk to you about your goals and cost of surgery in your area.

Luis E. Redondo, MD · Answer

It is possible that you can have your surgery at that price in DR, it will depend on when you want your surgery to be (flight prices changes a lot) lets assume your surgery will be 3000.00 - 3500.00USD, you also need to pay for the flight 300- 800 and also a recovery house for a minimum of 10 days 700 - 900. It can be done. Concerning your scar, that will be up to you, if you have bad scarring, it will depend where you will want the scar to be.Best of luck,

Kailash Narasimhan, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Regarding your questions, cost is certainly an important factor. The cost of the breast augmentation procedure has to do with several factors, including the type of implant, location of surgery, and provider.  Certainly with the price that you are considering, you may be in a reasonable range. Saline implants tend to be less expensive than silicone. However there are advantages and disadvantages to each. Regarding scar, I tend to prefer the inframammary incision, as it provides proper exposure, and is very safe. If done properly the scarring could be minimized.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

I would suggest finding a board certified plastic surgeon in your area. If you are prone to thick scars, you will need to be followed by your surgeon. Should you have any complications, you can easily see your surgeon.
