Do female physicians get breast augmentation?

Great question. Many female plastic surgeons have breast augmenation with silicone gel implants. Also, many plastic surgeons have performed breast augmentation on their own daughters.  It is THE most studied medical device which we implant in humans in the planet and has been found to be safe.  I hope this helps and best wishes. 

Absolutely I would have a breast augmentation if I needed one. I have performed this surgery on many med students and physicians and some of my closest girl friends. The current 5th generation implants are well studied and have proven to be a very safe medical device.

Breast augmentation is one of the most studied operations in term of literature and the FDA.I have personal operated on many female physicians and other healthcare providers.All surgeries have risks and it is very important to understand them before deciding on any procedure.The best way to assess and give true advice would an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Hi Med Student,Oh those were the days.  I have done augmentation on many types of physicians including surgeons and plastic surgeons using saline and silicone.  Be sure to see only a board certified
plastic surgeon (by ABPS - The American Board of Plastic Surgery) who is a
member of ASAPS (The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) and or a
member of ASPS (The American Society of Plastic Surgeons). Also, ask if they
have an established, high volume breast augmentation practice, performing
several hundred breast augmentations each year. Be sure the PS has been in
practice for a while, 20-years or more might be a good gauge.Does the PS offer all three incisions?Discuss the implant type (gel or saline),
shaped "gummy bear" or non-shaped, smooth or textured, implant pocket
(over or under the muscle) and the "quick recovery approach."Ask to see their before and after photos if
you didn’t see any on their website. If they are experienced, they should
have several 100 breast implant patients for you to view. I would also
recommend that your doctor offer you the chance to talk to past patients who
would be happy to discuss their experience with you. You need to feel
comfortable, so make sure the environment is safe as in an accredited surgery
center. Also, ask a prospective surgeon if he or she has ever published journal
articles in professional peer-reviewed journals, which they can provide
you.All the best, “Dr. Joe”

Hello,Thank you for your question. The answer is yes, Physicians, nurses and individuals who work for breast implant manufacturers have all undergone breast implant surgery. Having a detailed understanding of the process and the safety of Cohesive Gel Implants helps many people to make their decision, and it is a personal one.All the best!

Hi... thank you for the question.... Every one of my Venezolans colleagues have their breast augmented during the plastic surgery specialty... All with silicone gel implants under the muscle... 

Thanks for your question and good luck with all your future endeavors! Female physicians do get breast augmentation and/or other cosmetic procedures. Doing what is necessary to feel good about yourself can send a positive message to your future patients...Hope this helps and always choose a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon,Dr. JSB

I have treated many physicians and there wives with breast implants. I believe they are safe and well tolerated in most patients. 

I know this is hard to believe, but we are people too and have the right to feel beautiful and better. The fact that you are a physician wont change anything at all, And if I wouldn't trust my skills as a surgeon or the technique itself, I just wouldn't do it in any patient at all. Go for it and enjoy your life.Regards, Dr. Luis Redondo

Hello, yes many female physicians and practitioners do get breast enhancement surgery. I recommend scheduling a procedure with a board certifies plastic surgeon. Best of luck to you.
