I just had a baby and my breast are not the same. Are they permanent and how big can you actually go?
Answer: Post-Pregnancy Breast Changes Are Permanent Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, post-pregnancy breast changes are largely permanent. The extent of the changes depends on genetics, the amount of breastfeeding, weight gain, etc. In terms of "how large can you go" in implants, there is a vast array of sizes available from each of the three main breast implant manufacturers. You will, with certainty, find a breast implant size that suits your needs.Good luck, and for more information about other choices to be made before undergoing breast augmentation, take a look at the Guide to Breast Augmentation on my website from the web reference below. I discuss common patient questions I receive, silicone versus saline implants, round versus anatomically shaped implants, smooth versus texturized implants, implant manufacturer, implant insertion incision location, implant location inside the breast, and more.

Answer: Breast Augmentation cost Thank you for your question. Costs vary according to the severity of the condition, the combination of procedures undertaken, the amount of surgical time involved and the facility at which the procedure is carried out. We cannot offer an accurate cost estimate without seeing you. However we do offer complimentary no-obligation nursing consultations as a first step towards helping you understand your options and the approximate costs involved. A more accurate costing will be made after the first consultation. Best of luck!Dhaval M. Patel Double board certified Plastic surgeon Hoffman Estates Barringtonoakbrook Chicago

Answer: Breast augmentation costs Thank you for your question. I would visit with a number of plastic surgeons in your area. I would narrow down to a few surgeons that you feel very comfortable with and discuss price/payment options. There are several costs that go into breast augmentation including the facility fees, anesthesia fees, surgeon's fee and the cost of the implants. Our charges begin in the $6-7000 range and increase depending on the type of implant and whether a breast lifting procedure is also needed.

Answer: Breast Augmentation After Pregnancy Many women like you find that they are unhappy with the changes in their breasts after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Some are able to recapture the look and shape of their pre-baby breasts with breast augmentation, while others require a combination of breast lift with augmentation to fully address all of their concerns. The results of breast augmentation with an implant can look totally natural and will last the rest of your life, though your breasts will continue to change as you age. Cost tends to vary depending on your location and the level of experience of your surgeon.
