Frequently Asked Questions
How much does breast augmentation cost?
The cost of breast augmentation varies based on your unique anatomy, goals, and specific needs. During your complimentary consultation, we will provide a personalized quote tailored to your procedure. Several factors influence the final cost, including the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia fee, facility fee, and the type of implants used. We strive to offer competitive pricing and will provide all the necessary information in a no-pressure environment so you can make an informed decision.
How do I choose my new size?
During your consultation, our team will work closely with you to understand your goals and identify the breast size that complements your body and lifestyle. Every patient’s anatomy is different, so what looks natural on one person may not be the best fit for another. To help you visualize your results, you’ll have the opportunity to try on different implant sizers, giving you a better idea of how various sizes will look and feel on your body. We’ll also discuss factors such as implant shape, profile, and placement to ensure the final results align with your expectations.
Will breast augmentation leave visible scars?
Dr. Devulapalli uses advanced techniques to minimize scarring, placing incisions in discrete areas such as under the breast crease, around the areola, or in the armpit. Over time, scars typically fade and become less noticeable.
How long does it take for implants to settle?
After breast augmentation, implants typically take a few months to settle into their final position. Initially, they may sit higher on the chest due to swelling and muscle tightness. Over the next 3-6 months, the implants will gradually soften and drop into a more natural position, a process often referred to as “drop and fluff”. The timeline varies depending on implant placement, your body’s healing process, and other individual factors. We closely monitor your progress and provide guidance throughout your recovery.
Will I lose nipple sensation?
Loss of nipple sensation after breast augmentation is uncommon, with very low rates reported nationally. While some patients experience temporary changes in sensation due to swelling or nerve adjustment, most sensation returns as healing progresses. We use advanced techniques to preserve nerve function and minimize the risk of permanent changes. If nipple sensation is a concern, we can discuss this in more detail during your consultation.
Can I breastfeed after breast augmentation?
Yes! Many women can successfully breastfeed after breast augmentation. The ability to breastfeed depends on factors such as incision placement, implant positioning, and individual anatomy. Our surgical techniques prioritize the preservation of milk ducts and nipple sensation to give you the best chance of maintaining breastfeeding ability. If this is an important consideration for you, let us know during your consultation so we can discuss these techniques in detail.
How long do breast implants last?
Breast implants are designed to last for many years, often more than 10, as long as there are no complications such as capsular contracture or rupture. Many implants come with manufacturer warranties that cover certain issues, providing added peace of mind. As technology continues to advance, the rate of implant-related complications has decreased significantly, making modern implants safer and more durable than ever.
Will I be in pain after breast augmentation?
Discomfort after breast augmentation is normal, but we use enhanced recovery protocols to minimize pain and downtime. Our approach includes effective pain management strategies, as well as diet and lifestyle recommendations to support optimal healing.
Patients often describe the sensation as similar to soreness after an intense chest workout, where the muscle feels tight or tender. This is due to the stretching of the chest muscles and tissues as they adjust to the implants. Most patients return to normal work and activities quickly, often within a few days. However, for proper healing, avoid heavy lifting (more than 10 pounds) for 6-8 weeks. We’ll provide more detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and the best possible results.
Will breast augmentation work for me if I feel my breasts are sagging?
If you feel that your breasts are sagging, it’s important to determine the degree of sagging, known as ptosis. When the nipples droop below the natural crease of the breast (the inframammary fold), breast augmentation alone may not provide the best results. In these cases, a breast lift (mastopexy) is often recommended in addition to implants.
A breast lift removes excess skin and repositions the breasts to a more youthful position while maintaining or enhancing volume with an implant if desired. Without this additional procedure, placing an implant alone may not adequately correct sagging and could result in an unnatural shape. During your consultation, we will assess your breast anatomy and recommend the best approach to achieve your desired look.
